He said if you even mentioned his name, all days off were canceled due to prep.
I really wish someone would call my Dad, a retired Capitol Hill police officer (37yrs), to talk about the difference in preparation. The stories he’s telling me about prep for Farrakhan and others vs why yesterday happened the way it did is mind blowing.

He said what makes it so bad is that the folks yesterday had weapons. And they knew that it was going to be a 50-50 chance that something could go wrong.
He said because of who they were and because of who called them down there, they didn’t prepare...
He said who those people represented made a difference. Just like who Black Lives Matter represents makes a difference.

After seeing that video from ATL PD this am I thought I\u2019d share my dad talking about what he did when he saw someone drunk while he was working.
The difference in outcomes is my dad knew his role was to HELP. pic.twitter.com/0LyNsfwrex
