SWAT Team Told To Leave Navy Yard Has STILL Not Been Debriefed, Leader Removed Without Explanation

FULL TITLE - "DC Capitol SWAT Team That Was Ordered NOT To Neutralize Navy Yard Shooter STILL Not Debriefed, And PD Removes Leader Without Explanation"

On Wednesday, BBC News reported the indefensible discovery that the D.C. Capitol Police’s SWAT team was ready to neutralize the Navy Yard mass shooting. But, the highly trained and heavily armed, elite tactical group was, instead, ordered to stand down and leave the scene. The Capitol Police promised a full investigation. Today, BBC News reported more disturbing information. No one has talked to the SWAT team members. Not even for the protocol debriefing. But, not only have members of the SWAT team not been contacted, the department “has installed a new leader”. Without explanation.

BBC News reports,

Members of a Washington DC Swat team who the BBC has learned were ordered not to respond to Monday’s Navy Yard shootings have yet to be contacted by the authorities.

The Capitol Police tactical response team was told by a supervisor to leave the scene instead of aiding municipal officers, sources told the BBC.

Meanwhile, the department has installed a new leader of the elite unit. No reason has been given for the decision.

Gunman Aaron Alexis killed 12 people.

The BBC has also learned that four members of the highly trained team have applied for temporary leave, as they “grapple” with the aftermath of the incident.

The Capitol Police department has not yet granted the request, nor given approval for them to use their own paid time off.

Command shake-up Days after the shooting, none of the officers has been questioned by officials or investigators from a special panel that was convened on Wednesday.

Members of the Containment and Emergency Response Team (Cert) are typically debriefed “right away, at the very least the following day” after an incident, a Capitol Police source said.

“[They] haven’t even been given the courtesy of a debrief… They have not even been given an answer as to why the decision was made that they should not respond,” the source added.

Another Capitol Police source close to the incident told the BBC: “No-one’s talked to these officers since this happened.”

This is unreal! Did these bureaucrats take the playbook from Benghazi?

“Where was the mainstream media?”

Can we put their pictures on milk cartons? I’m getting worried about them.

Anyone seen any reports on racial makeup of the persons shot?

Knowing DC and the WhiteyHut, that could be reasoning behind this cover-up.

Unfortunately not that far-fetched. Bill Ayers advocated sending millions to re-education camps.

Of course, the PhonyCon Liberals here will call anyone “TinFoil Hat” on anyone who suggests that this shooting was planned with the cooperation of the Feds....but it is apparent it was. It was

So, there seems to be a pattern when this administration is involved in public safety OR in military moves.

Strong, brave Americans,trained to help and fight bullies- are told to stand down and leave. TO NOT stand their ground and fight, but to retreat.

And then mayhem ensues- and the American public is lied to, the strong party of conservatives are demonized, the Media smokes crack and ignores everything... people die, Obama uses it to take some of rights for the sake of the children” and we start all over again. on to the next chaotic made for TV drama.

What did I miss?

It’s going to take a full-blown march on Washington to get at the truth, and nobody’s that concerned.
It would take a widespread tax rebellion to repair the government. Not enough people willing to galt their loins and make too little income to pay.
It would take a revolution — oh never mind, nobody’s up for that.

It may be that they were not allowed to respond because their task is to protect the Capital and those inside.

An attack at the Navy Yard to absorb resources then a main attack on the House or Senate or both would be under defensed.

This sounds like another false flag similar to Aurora, CO and possibly Sandy Hook. Each event is immediately followed by reports of multiple shooters. Then within a few hours that all dies away and there is one poor schmuck on psychotropic drugs left to take the fall. Multiple shooters (CIA/FBI handlers) never heard about again.

Did a quick search. Items on this appeared for NBC in DC and Fox.com.

Should be the lead story on every net but isn’t.

I suggested earlier the coincidence of tactical teams being told to ‘stand down’ at critical times is rather an odd coincidence.

I’d be wary too that we’ve heard this meme of mentally unstable shooters so often...we’re apt to accept that explanation with very little question. The Feds will provide all the proof the public needs to back that up.

And very much while we’re noting this situation, don’t forget that 0bama gave a speech that morning and seemed immensely detached from the morning’s events...odd & why?

Wouldn’t want them to quell the false flag event.

There's probably more professional media concentrated in DC than anywhere else on earth....but we're getting most of our inside, investigative news and revelations now from foreign (mostly UK) sources plus some very adept bloggers.

"Professional Media" is a euphemism for another very old old old profession.

The simplest explanation here is the correct one. From high up came the order to stand down because a high number of casualties was desired for political purposes.

-the order to stand down had to come from high up when we consider the area and the unit involved
-yes, this administration is venal and incompetent, but that is not the explanation here. This is cold blooded murder.
-these people are waging a real war on the American people. Wars escalate until they are won by someone. And they do not end until they are won. Thus, we know what is going on, and we know what is coming.

Of course this is from BBC. Our own DNC publicity dept, who laughingly call themselves “journalists”, have nothing about it.
