We also know that Giuliani met with Brian Benczkowski and Bill Barr to lobby for for help to go easy on his Venezuelan pal. Benczkowski is a former Alfa Bank rep. 4/
Further, we know that Erik Prince is the brother of Betsy DeVos (who JUST resigned) and the former head of Blackwater. We also know that the day before the insurrection, a memo was sent out to knee-cap the federal police in DC. 5/

This is also the Rochester Police - dreadful mishandling of an altered mental status call - which led to their current crisis team, which was unavailable (and they didn't wait for in a low threat situation as they could have) for this 9 y/o!

In both cases there is a failure to use good judgement, make a valid threat assessment, to match in force to situation, failure to choose to wait for safer and appropriate staff/conditions and to use their time wisely. They also treat 'perp' as more object than human.
