As investigations of last week’s riot at the US Capitol continue, one thing has become abundantly clear: The people involved were not just “fringe” elements, disconnected from the mainstream of society.
Prominent among the rioters was a group with a lot of institutional and social power police officers and other law enforcement officials. Indeed, nearly 30 sworn officers have been identified so far as
attendees to the rally leading to Wednesday’s riot, according to NPR.
