‘Overworked’ US Capitol officers reportedly stopped monitoring 24-hr video feed capturing Pelosi attack​

Despite having a live feed aimed on the outside of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s home, U.S. Capitol Police officers weren’t continuously watching the feed when her husband was attacked last Friday.

“The Capitol Police first installed cameras around Pelosi’s home more than eight years ago; she has an around-the-clock security detail; and for many months after the attacks of Jan. 6, 2021, a San Francisco police cruiser sat outside her home day and night,” The Washington Post reported Tuesday.

“But hours after Pelosi left San Francisco last week and returned to D.C., much of the security left with her, and officers in Washington stopped continuously monitoring video feeds outside her house,” the Post added.


The reason why officers stopped monitoring the feed is because the agency is understaffed even as the number of threats faced by lawmakers is exploding.

It’s important to remember – Capitol Police felt there was no way to monitor live video feed of Pelosi’s California house 24-7 – especially when she wasn’t there. So many video feeds to monitor . An overworked force with skyrocketing threats https://t.co/gJN40xB4eC

“The Capitol Police have been working to implement more than 100 security improvements recommended by outside experts, including enhancements to officer training, equipment, protocols and staffing. But the department has simultaneously faced a tenfold increase in threats to members of Congress, who regularly return to their home districts and crisscross the country,” according to the Post.


Congress is reportedly preparing to respond by adding additional security measures to an upcoming government funding bill. But on the other hand, it’s not like members of Congress don’t already receive boatloads of money for their own security.

“In the months after Jan. 6, 2021, House Democrats repeatedly reminded leaders that their campaign coffers were not enough to pay for personal security or upgrades to their homes. Congress has, in turn, approved increases to office budgets for individual lawmakers — allowing them to pay for private security to assist them at events back home — and set aside nearly $5 million in a separate fund to allow for security upgrades to their personal residences,” the Post reported.

“Starting Aug. 15, lawmakers were given up to $10,000 for setting up security systems in their homes. Lawmakers have been told to work with security officials in the Capitol or with their local police to install devices such as indoor and outdoor security cameras; motion sensors; duress buttons; and window, door and broken-glass monitors,” according to the Post.

It’s not clear whether Pelosi ever took advantage of all this readily available money.


Nancy Pelosi did as good a job with her home security as she did with the Capitol’s.

That being said, the primary issue is that the agency is understaffed.

The good news is that he Capitol Police, which currently boasts about 1,900 officers, is reportedly on track to meet its hiring goal of 280 officers by the end of this year.

The bad news is that this is still “a fraction of what it needs, according to some estimates,” the Post noted.


“An external review ordered by Pelosi shortly after the January 2021 attack found that there were more than 230 vacancies in the two months after the insurrection and recommended that the Capitol Police eventually increase the size of its force by roughly 850 officers. That would take years, given that about 100 officers leave or retire each year, and the force is now accepting only about 1 in every 16 candidates,” according to the Post.

“The result is a police force already stretched incredibly thin, needing more staff to properly secure the nearly 60-acre Capitol campus and provide around-the-clock protection to the increasing number of lawmakers facing serious threats of violence. Congress jumped the Capitol Police budget from $516 million for 2021 to a recommended $708 million for 2023, according to the House Appropriations Committee,” the Post reported.

In a statement published Tuesday, Capitol Police chief Tom Manger called for more money and resources.

“We believe today’s political climate calls for more resources to provide additional layers of physical security for Members of Congress. This plan would include an emphasis on adding redundancies to the measures that are already in place for Congressional leadership,” he said.

News of the Capitol Police’s need for more funding and more officers came on the same day that a court filing revealed that David DePape, the man accused of attacking Pelosi’s husband, had been on a suicide mission.

“David DePape, 42, told officers and medics at the scene that he was sick of the ‘level of lies’ coming from Washington, DC, and ‘came here to have a little chat with his wife,'” CNN reported, citing the aforementioned court filing.

“I didn’t really want to hurt him, but you know this was a suicide mission. I’m not going to stand here and do nothing even if it cost me my life,” DePape told investigators.

Also, in a pic posted by the media, the supposed entry point was a glass door. The broken glass is outside and feet away and clearly shows the direction of impact. :lmao:
But Lester Holt already said that is Trump disinformation that has already been proven false because the police said so…
 
So say your worth ~130 million. Could you afford to have private security?
Nope, tax payer funded cause we are leaches.

No matter what the story is these people suck.
I was just typing something very similar. Everyone has ring type cameras now at the very least get some of them.
 
Everything is recorded and that’s why it’s not being talked about, nor released.

The people that believe any of this are flat out retards.
Careful. Sounding kind of racist here...... :lmao::lmao:
 
Isn't being gay the Democrat stunning and brave kind of thing?

Come out of the closet PP!!

Well those same people probably think died suddenly is normal along with getting bells palsy after visiting the doctor. The useful idiots are taking care of themselves.

The adjacent houses almost certainly have plenty of footage of the street. I bet they have insecure Amazon passwords or can be phished... :stirthepot:
 
why is all of the broken glass on the outside?
I saw another pic of the broken glass and saw it on my iPad. I'm going to back up a little and say that it appears it could be a type of security glass on the door. there appears to be some of the plastic laminate hanging from the opening and the glass looks tempered. So, it is possible that it was struck from the outside, but there should be corresponding glass on the inside for when the inside pane shattered before the plastic was torn open

I have had security tint on my 20 year old denali for almost as long as I've had it. It was broken into in Memphis one time and they had to use something sharp to tear into the tint after shattering the glass and most of the glass was stuck to the tint. but I'm not sure pre-made security glass "glues" the glass panes together where the glass would stick to it, like a bullet resistant glass

I bet the SS/Captiol tax collectors have already been to them and secured every second of footage. Everything is wiped clean for national security purposes. Who knows if they were compensated for their helpful service to the grifters. :stirthepot:
 
She's hiding footage of her husband going nut-to-butt with the homeless, methed-out male prostitute he brought home, just before the male prosti went ballistic with a hammer. Would be my guess.

Probably not a family movie anyone would want getting out. May make the holidays a bit awkward. Well, in addition to her Congress-pals getting their asses kicked in the election. Shitty Fall of 2022 all the way around.

To be fair, I wouldn't release any details of the inside of my house so rando's could plan how to attack it - LEOs may need that info. but the general public can kiss my private ass.

Not sayin' there wasn't buggery or other hinky fuckery to hide, but I understand "fuck off" being an appropriate answer to an entitled public's cry for details of my private life.

I can't hold others to a higher standard than I hold myself, because hypocrites suck.
