Why did law enforcement fail to use all available means to protect the Capitol from the mob?
Mob control includes tear gas, pepper spray, tasers, dogs, water cannons, birdshot, nets, and night sticks, along with shooting to k**l attackers on the supposition that they pose great harm to the Capitol and to people inside it.
One cannot pussyfoot with a mob. One must fight fire with fire.
