What does the Capitol police do? More traffic stops and low level drug war enforcement than you'd think https://t.co/vqEiM6zhel

Maggie Haberman recommended this one from the NBC congressional reporter by retweeting it:

.⁦@haleytalbotnbc⁩’s account of what it was like inside the House chamber is absolutely chilling, as all of these stories have been. I’m in awe of her always but especially right now. Read her story >> https://t.co/qqfDC4JOpH

Mark Levitt @ JustSecurity.org, June 9: Tragedy at the Capitol: Four Questions that Demand Answers

[....[ In what follows, I highlight four initial questions to focus on:

Was the District of Columbia National Guard properly deployed and resourced?

What prevented other state National Guards from being expeditiously deployed?

What role do other federal law enforcement have and why did the DC police have to play such a critical role in the Capitol’s defense?

What other assets may have assisted?

My opinion, Washington Post's "what happened?" is the best on topic I have read so far:

Doh! Why didn't I check the pros from Dover earlier? They've only been covering D.C. since 1877.

I found the description interesting, thanx. And better to be the butt of a joke than meet the butt of a gun. Even if the business end not a barrel of laughs.

Nope, with a couple other things but never with either end of a carbine. But, if it came to a confrontation I would much rather someone swing a gun at me than shoot me with it. My comment was just to say what I think the tactical situation was, not to make any judgment about it.

If you watch the video they just played on @CNN of the officer being crushed in the door by the mob of domestic terrorists I promise you will never suggest "moving on"

This is so awful

Those soldiers appear to have rifles loaded with blanks, for whatever that is worth if it is actually the case. Notice the cross shaped extensions on the rifle barrels. Those appear, though I cannot be sure, to be suppressors which insert into the barrel so as to offer enough resistance to the blanks gas because they have a smaller powder load than a standard bullet. This is to operate the automatic feed of the next round. A standard bullet cannot be fired with a blank suppressor in place.
