NextImg:BREAKING: New surveillance video shows police lying in wait for protesters during Capitol riot

Julie Kelly has put out a video that seems to show police lying in wait for protesters as they were lining up at one of the entrances in the Capitol.

Watch below:

Now I’ve watched the video and at first blush it looks completely normal to me, like officers preparing to defend the Capitol.

But Kelly adds this:

DC and Capitol police retreated into the tunnel. Protesters followed. Rather than secure the doors, police left them open—many thought it was ok to enter, needed to escape cold, etc. This is what prompted a sustained 2-hour battle resulting in numerous injuries and the death of Rosanne Boyland.

Now if you look at the top of those doors when they open in the video, they are super thick. My first thought was the officers might have believed the protesters would breach the doors and maybe that’s still the case. But given how thick they are, I seriously doubt it. This is the US Capitol. It would likely take heavy artillery to breach doors like these.

So why did they leave the doors open?
