Comments by "Robert Morgan" (@RobertMorgan) on "Cop car crashes into police barriers at Capitol Hill" video.

  1. Irony is the barriers were raising to protect the capital because of the emergency. For all we know, that could have been an Al Queda stolen police car with a VBIED, seeing as the event going on WAS a car attacking the White House gate that threatened a VBIED. Hence isolating the area from ALL traffic, trusted or otherwise. The Capital police has not a small army but a rather LARGE army worth of personnel in that area, one guy in a car would not have made a difference, and he was running apparently quite late anyway. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/attempt-ram-white-house-gate-ends-conn-woman/story?id=20460948 Story contains this line in reference: "a Capitol Police officer was injured in a traffic accident involving an automated barricade during the chase."

  2. Also, those barriers are AUTOMATED. I'm not sure if they even have any control over their deployment, which makes sense from a digital/physical security standpoint.

  3. He also didn't brake AT ALL, he hit it full acceleration. You can hear the engine still revving up at impact. He had zero awareness.
