Fire the officer and let him and his anti-American union fight to get his/her job back which will happen but HEY! point made.
Find out who the idiot officer, God hailing, LGBTQIA’s loving , blm leftist transgender supporting person is and fire them. Oh, l forgot it’s woke dc
Our government is under enemy occupation so this does not surprise me in the least.
‘We apologize to the choir”
Yeah, you say that now a-hole when it’s too late. What kind of treasonous scumbag would have halted it in the first place?
The District Of Congo police would have been fine if the children were singing the black fist anthem or the Mm, mmm, mm Obama song.

D.C. needs to be obliterated with ICBM’s, preferably from space, just to be sure.
“Recently somebody posted a video of a children’s choir singing the Star-Spangled Banner in the U.S. Capitol Building and wrongfully claimed we stopped the performance because it ‘might offend someone.’ Here is the truth. Demonstrations and musical performances are not allowed in the U.S. Capitol. Of course, because the singers in this situation were children, our officers were reasonable and allowed the children to finish their beautiful rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner. The Congressional staff member who was accompanying the group knew the rules, yet lied to the officers multiple times about having permission from various offices. The staffer put both the choir and our officers, who were simply doing their jobs, in an awkward and embarrassing position.”
As far as saying they were "reasonable", they mean they didn't shoot one of the kids, and beat another to death.
BS. It was intentional.
Other than a “sincere apology”, nothing will be done. At most, Speaker McCarthy will write a sternly worded letter.
Fire them! Publicly expose them live on tv during the firing.
Just following orders.
The Marxist/globalist cabal that now rules us forbids displays of patriotism for the old nation that they destroyed. It would be like entering The Hagia Sophia mosque and singing Christian hymns.
And why the hell would they need permission to sing our national anthem in our nations Capitol? These people are the enemy
“Other than a “sincere apology”, nothing will be done. At most, Speaker McCarthy will write a sternly worded letter.”
When Democrats gain control of an organization, they purge all opposition. When Republicans gain control of the organization, they maintain the status quo.
The capitol police leadership should have been purged or reassigned as soon as the Republicans won the house.
An anti American degenerate!
They were invited to sing inside the capitol. I assume by McCarthy. That news was posted somewhere on FR.
Indeed.
Why doesn’t the LEO on duty know who is approved to perform that day? Seems like basic knowledge needed to do his job!
“As far as saying they were “reasonable”, they mean they didn’t shoot one of the kids, and beat another to death.”
Very close to my first thought which was I guess we should be glad the USCP lieutenant who shot Ashli Babbit wasn’t on duty in the Hall.
