US House speaker to make good on promise to far-right Republicans including Matt Gaetz and Donald Trump
why do they want more footage of their lawbreaking out there? im confused
training. they want it for training.
Included in the video is the response by the capital police and lawmakers trying to get out of there. the Captial building is built like a warren maze, in large part as additional security. one of the reasons that we didn’t have any lawmakers (or pence,) get seriously hurt was because most of the insurrectionists couldn’t find their way.
With this video, they can study it and practice.
A warren typically refers to the series of interconnected holes that rabbits dig and live in. Part of the defense they provide is the difficulty that predators like foxes have when navigating them.
In this instance warren maze just refers to a deliberately difficult to navigate floorplan.
I really can’t see much coming from this. Security relies on capital police, national guard, water cannons, rubber bullets, etc. You either have those or you don’t.
*Actually more relies on FBI infiltration, informants, information tapping, etc. This is all wayyy before anything happens at the Capitol grounds.
then you’re not paying attention.
The security tapes reveal how [all the people you mentioned] responded to the first attempt. It’ll also show the evacuation routes, which are extremely difficult to change, where the safe rooms are, which is also incredibly difficult to change, where all the cameras are, the weak points.
from the insurrectionist point of view, it’s intelligence material to use for training. From the point of view as someone whose spent a lifetime in contract security, releasing it is a fucked up thing to do. It’s basic common sense that you don’t release broad swaths of your security recordings to the general public. We all watched it happen live on the news. There’s absolutely no reason to release the vast majority of these recordings.
There are undoubtedly thousands of hours of footage of no laws being broken they can use to muddy the water.
Right? This… seems like a good thing… I think?
Maybe the far-right Republicans, thinking that a mob of angry Trumpers can do no wrong, believe the footage will exonerate them and are wanting the footage released for that reason? (And if that’s correct, they’ll find out otherwise soon enough.)
The given answers, and so they can act like there wasn’t that much of what happened.
No one can watch all that, so they’ll claim that violence is cherry picked and it’s the mostly peaceful protest they’ve been claiming the whole time.
It’s still a lie but it’s one they’re giving “evidence” to their supporters for.
The footage is already out there. These seems like an information dump under the guise of transparency. It’s like when a corporation gets sued and has to release records so they send 20 million pages of documents to the plaintiff, far too much to actually wade through.
except if it’s released to the public, there’s literally millions of people to comb through the footage
