Capitol Police Struggling to Adapt to Threats

CNN: “Amid mounting concern about a fresh wave of pro-Trump violence in August, more than a dozen current and former Capitol Police officers tell CNN that not nearly enough has been done to address the security failures exposed by the January 6 attack on the US Capitol six months ago.”

“Morale remains low among Capitol Police officers, who say they’re stuck working longer hours amid dwindling ranks. More than 75 officers have left since January 6, at a rate of about three per week.”

Vice News says reporters aren’t adapting well either: “Some reporters who were there won’t go back into the building. A number have sought therapy to deal with the trauma. One longtime Capitol Hill reporter opted for early retirement shortly after living through the riot. Many still aren’t sleeping well.”
