Watching CNN who seem a bit over the top, surely? Don't the Capitol police (or capital police or DC police or whatever - it's so confusing) just have to pour in in numbers and shove the protestors out? They don't look armed.

One woman has been shot in the neck. Allegedly. Some rioters are likely to die before this is done.

In the crowd outside, there are, oddly, a South Korean and a Japanese flag.

They say they are outnumbered, and the Defense Department have blocked the National Guard - who were deployed in the summer for BLM protests - from assisting.

Government loyalist forces are beginning to regain control inside the Capitol. Rioters being arrested at gunpoint.

I'm probably influenced by protests in the UK where the police would simply plonk huge numbers of bodies in the way.

The woman shot was a rioter. Looks like Capitol police shot her in the chest.

Isn’t this the point when the “International Community” calls for calm on all sides and for peacekeeping troops to be deployed to ensure the safety of aid workers.

Serious question: are they now at a point of invoking the 25th? (I may have the number wrong)
And if not, why not?

Hmm. I'm not sure if the US Constitution would consider the President an enemy of the USA, which seems to be crucial to the definition of treason (based on my extensive studies at the Wikipedia school of law https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treason ... ted_States)

It's starting to get dark. DC curfew starts in an hour. Police are coming in from neighboring states. This may get worse before it gets better.
