Fmr. Chief of U.S. Capitol Police: Trump, Hegseth Are Demonstrating ‘Inexperience in Policing in a Complex Environment’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GAINER: “No. You know it is not. Again, when you put someone out on the street in an environment in which they are not normally operating, and in this area, crime fighting with a weapon, they‘re not trained for that. And so you mentioned at the beginning all the training law enforcement has, and we get a ton of it about the use of force and de-escalation, how to work with the community, know your community, have great communication. Having worked with each other in tough situations, how to handle people in erratic situations. Police trained incessantly for that and still screw it up on some occasions. So these men and women are just not prepared for it. He‘s overestimating his assessment of what those National Guard personnel can do now, and demonstrating his inexperience in policing and a complex environment.”
