Fox News
After ex-officials responsible for security at the Capitol on Jan. 6 testified before Congress Tuesday, the police union representing the rank-and-file reacted to the leadership "dysfunction" on display at the hearing and demanded U.S. Capitol Police Acting Chief Pittman also submit her resignation, citing "systemic failures" and intelligence breakdowns that left about 140 officers injured.
Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, former Senate Sergeant of Arms Michael Stenger, former House Sergeant of Arms Paul Irving, and Metropolitan Police Chief Robert Contee testified before a joint Senate Rules and Homeland Security Committee hearing Tuesday about the insurrection. "The root cause of the USCP’s failure on January 6th was a failure of leadership. I think the Senators saw that dysfunction on display today," Papathanasiou said. "Instead of cohesive leadership, we heard Stenger, Irving and former Chief Sund give contradicting accounts about the department’s handling of requests for backup from the National Guard. It’s maddening."
