While purporting to defend “Congress, the U.S. Capitol, and our democracy,” Capitol police act as a narrative enforcer for Democrats.
The new intelligence chief of the U.S. Capitol Police is off to a rough start.
Ravi Satkalmi, a former high-ranking NYPD official, took over the Capitol Police’s expanding intelligence unit this month. But his agency suffered a major humiliation Wednesday night after it forced the evacuation of the Capitol and surrounding buildings after spotting “an aircraft that poses a probable threat.” Staff scrambled to exit the buildings in a panic, and news outlets interrupted coverage with “breaking news” bulletins about the suspicious aircraft.
Roughly 15 minutes later, Capitol police backtracked and announced there was no threat; the aircraft, it turned out, was a U.S. Army plane preparing to perform a parachute stunt at the Washington Nationals baseball game. After issuing an “all clear” notice, a USCP senior security official told Fox News, “This is not supposed to happen. It looks bad.”
While the gaffe was heavily mocked on social media, the Capitol Police’s most ardent defender came to the rescue. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) quickly released a statement commending Capitol Police’s “heroism” and “exemplary service.”

God knows, the anti-federalists have been proven correct, oh so many times.
Wonder why? Something they did?
The Capitol Police are the only law enforcement agency with virtually no oversight, controlled by the party in power, and not subject to FOIA requests.
Defund as disband…rat SS…
The Capistol Poleese. A bunch of cop wannabes that couldn’t land a gig playing cops on TV.
I may or may not have been near the Capitol on January 6 and watched the hapless Capitol police tossing flash bangs and teargas into the peaceful crowd. Idiots repeatedly threw teargas into the wind.
Color me unimpressed.
I don’t just want them defunded. I want them charged with entrapment, collusion and for at least ONE of them MURDER....that’s what I want..
