“国会山之变”是一场散兵VS游勇的比烂,2300人的国会警察年预算却高达5亿美元(人均年预算接近22万美元),在美媒AP的报道《警察指挥系统快速崩溃》为大家呈现了一个“美式笑话”。
华盛顿(美联社)-当暴乱分子袭击美国国会大厦时,许多警员不得不自行决定如何与他们战斗。没有方向。没有计划。而且没有最高领导。
一名警察从建筑物的一侧跑到另一侧,与暴徒徒手战斗。另一人决定响应遇险人员的任何要求,并花了三个小时来帮助被防熊喷雾剂或其他化学药品困住的警察。
三名警员能够将一名暴徒戴上手铐。但是,一群人蜂拥而至,并将带着手铐被捕男子带走。
1月6日,采访四名遭到暴乱者冲垮的美国国会大厦警察,这表明当唐纳德·特朗普总统怂恿的人群涌向国会大厦时,指挥结构崩溃的速度有多快。警员们不愿透露姓名,因为该部门威胁要停职与媒体对话的任何人。
其中一名警员告诉美联社:“我们靠自己。” “完全靠我们自己。”
向美联社讲话的警员说,1月6日上午,他们没有得到领导的警告,关于成千上万的暴乱者日益壮大,装备比警员本身还要好。暴动一开始,该部门的领导人就没有指示他们如何阻止暴民或营救将自己封锁在里面的议员。只有足够的人员来进行一天的例行任务。
三名警员告诉美联社,他们整个下午都没有在广播中听到史蒂文·桑德警长的声音。事实证明,他正与副总统迈克·彭斯(Mike Pence)一起在安全的地方躲避某些包围。桑德第二天就辞职了。
两名警员说,在广播中听到他的助手,现任临时长官安吉尼亚·皮特曼(Yogananda Pittman),告诉部队“封锁建筑物”,就没有进一步指示。
塔里克·约翰逊中尉下达了一项具体命令,他告诉警员不要在暴徒突袭时在建筑物外使用致命武力。该命令几乎可以肯定地防止了死亡和更多的混乱,但是这意味着警员没有抽出武器,而是用拳头和警棍反击。
约翰逊(Johnson)在穿越暴动人群时被戴上“让美国再次伟大”(Make America Great Again)帽子拍摄,被停职。约翰逊告诉同事们,他戴上这顶帽子是一种战术,旨在赢得群众的信任,因为他试图接触被暴徒压制的其他军官。 《华尔街日报》(Wall Street Journal)获得的有关该事件的视频显示,约翰逊向暴徒求助,以帮助他的同事。
无法联系到约翰逊发表评论,一名警员在广播中听到他反复的问:“谁有计划?”
WASHINGTON (AP) — As the rioters stormed the U.S. Capitol, many of the police officers had to decide on their own how to fight them off. There was no direction. No plan. And no top leadership.
One cop ran from one side of the building to another, fighting hand-to-hand against rioters. Another decided to respond to any calls of officers in distress and spent three hours helping cops who had been immobilized by bear spray or other chemicals.
Three officers were able to handcuff one rioter. But a crowd swarmed the group and took the arrested man away with the handcuffs still on.
Interviews with four members of the U.S. Capitol Police who were overrun by rioters on Jan. 6 show just how quickly the command structure collapsed as throngs of people, egged on by President Donald Trump, set upon the Capitol. The officers spoke on condition of anonymity because the department has threatened to suspend anyone who speaks to the media.
“We were on our own,” one of the officers told The Associated Press. “Totally on our own.”
The officers who spoke to the AP said they were given next to no warning by leadership on the morning of Jan. 6 about what would become a growing force of thousands of rioters, many better armed than the officers themselves were. And once the riot began, they were given no instructions by the department’s leaders on how to stop the mob or rescue lawmakers who had barricaded themselves inside. There were only enough officers for a routine day.
***Three officers told the AP they did not hear Chief Steven Sund on the radio the entire afternoon. It turned out he was sheltering with Vice President Mike Pence in a secure location for some of the siege. Sund resigned the next day.***His assistant chief, Yogananda Pittman, who is now interim chief, was heard over the radio telling the force to “lock the building down,” with no further instructions, two officers said.
One specific order came from Lt. Tarik Johnson, who told officers not to use deadly force outside the building as the rioters descended, the officers recounted. The order almost certainly prevented deaths and more chaos, but it meant officers didn’t pull their weapons and were fighting back with fists and batons.
Johnson has been suspended after being captured on video wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat while moving through crowds of rioters. Johnson told colleagues he wore the hat as a tactic to gain the crowd’s confidence as he tried to reach other officers who were pinned down by rioters, one of the officers said. A video of the incident obtained by the Wall Street Journal shows Johnson asking rioters for help in getting his colleagues.
Johnson, who could not be reached for comment, was heard by an officer on the radio repeatedly asking, “Does anybody have a plan?”
