All that money, all those guns, all that harassing of random citizens, and this happened. One has to ask “what are we actually paying for?”

Right, the annual Capitol Police budget alone is $550 million.

A police force of 2200, just for one building. Compare that to the Atlanta Police Department which has 1800 officers for a city of 500,000+ people and a size of 136 sq miles.

Not one bldg. There are multiple House and Senate offices and the Library of Congress. It's a huge complex which does not seem well designed from a security standpoint. I don't know if they've fixed that, but after 9/11 it was a mess of access.

Fwiw multiple police/security leaders have been fired or forced to resign due to this.
