The Capital’s ‘Complex’ Power Structure Keeps Causing Chaos Under Pressure
U.S. Army processes updated after last June’s protests failed again during the Jan. 6 riot.
The “complex nature of the District” is among the reasons cited by U.S. Army investigators in their long-awaited report into the low-flying helicopter that “rotor-washed” protestors in Washington, D.C., last June.
“There were a number of lessons learned for us writ large for the Army on this operation, but some of them were very specific to operations inside the District of Columbia just because of the complex nature of the District,” an Army official said Wednesday in a press conference tied to the report’s release.
