Historical Events Upend First Week Of 2021 In US Capitol
A week that started with the promise of a new year, a new Congress and a new president is ending with anger, humiliation, and talk of a second impeachment.
While many Americans try to process Wednesday's brazen attack on democracy, leaders in Congress are promising an investigation into why and how the U.S. Capitol police force seemed unprepared for the assault by an angry pro-Trump.
District leaders are especially upset, saying that Capitol police took a far more aggressive posture last summer when Black Live Matter protesters demonstrated, peacefully, at the Capitol.
