WHY were the LOCAL police officers housed in President Trump's hotel, and not the out-of-state National Guard members?? Why couldn't the LOCAL police officers go HOME to rest?
Because when you’re on a 12+ hour shift at a high-security political event in DC it’s probably not feasible, or even permitted, to go through the checkpoints and cordons to “go home” for your 30 minute break.
Do you really want the NG to stay in DC forever? The story occurred on Jan 20. Governors should bring their NG home, as Texas did.
Well, I know why. Trump frequently opened his hotel for the local police, as a hospitality stop. When there are “activities” going on in DC that require the LEOs to work long shifts, Trump often set up a hospitality area in the Trump Hotel.
I’ve had photos sent to me over the past few years.
