As we told you earlier, the press and police seem to have outnumbered the people attending the “Justice for J6” rally at the U.S. Capitol today:
At the J6 rally on the Mall, protesters are outnumbered by reporters. Massive police presence: helicopter, police dogs, dump trucks lining 3rd St. The cost per protester would be interesting to work out. pic.twitter.com/YjXXTW4Cdi

The Capitol Police were definitely at the ready just in case:

That was nearly as much overkill as the fence that was put back up around the Capitol. How about sending them to the southern border instead?
The border patrol could use their help right now

No kidding! It also wouldn’t hurt if some of the media swarming at the Capitol cared to pay attention to what’s happening at the border as well.

It's like a Monty Python skit… waiting for the Killer Bunny to show up so they can use the Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch… https://t.co/Izr5Q6ECLt

Maybe they should instead be put to work taking down the fence around the Capitol.
