From the rioters supporting President Donald Trump
Who just lost his seat after losing the election to Joe Biden, the 46th President of the United States.
Some of the images from the event that caught the public's attention from many news agencies
Such as images of plainclothes police or the US Secret Service.
Also known as the presidential guard image
No news agency has yet revealed the identity of the security team for sure. Who is who?
But the issues that were raised and told were based on observations from the images of the event.
These are several Glock pistols used by the security team.
There is a red and white reflective strip attached to the side of the gun slide.
Initial assumptions suggest that the red and white reflective strips are for protection.
Confusion or officers deciding to pull the trigger on their own side
Especially in chaotic situations, uniforms are mixed up.
Or there is more than one armed insurgent
In the same vein, the media has received information from Tomer Israeli.
Israeli Secret Service security commander
A former security officer at the Israeli embassy in Washington.
Currently trusted by many agencies in the United States.
To be a trainer for many security, military and police forces in Virginia.
Tomer said, “I don’t know the exact meaning of the colors.”
But I believe that the Presidential Security Team has a similar approach.
Ours, the Israeli security uniforms, have yellow stripes.
Helps officers make quick decisions when it comes to pulling the trigger.
In the picture, we can see at least two Glock pistols with red and white reflective stripes.
However, some officers' pistols were not marked with colored stripes and were mixed in.
Therefore, it can be interpreted that there may be officials from other agencies.
Attend a meeting or provide security
And during this time, many media outlets in America requested to report the news.
and find out the facts for the people
And with the events that happened, there was chaos and chaos.
From a large number of unknown parties and intentions
This prompted several local agencies around Washington to send in personnel to help deal with the situation.
Including the US National Guard
But cooperation from many agencies, especially from the military
Making things even more confusing and chaotic is when the officer testifies that
In the group of insurgents, they wear camouflage clothing and equipment.
Similar to the military, although not exactly according to the rules.
But that makes the situation even more difficult.
However, no officers were injured in the chaos during this situation.
And it is very regrettable that the situation forced the officers to shoot to stop it.
One female intruder was killed and eventually
Later, it was discovered that the name was Ashli Babbitt.
The woman who successfully stormed the inner parliament was a former combat veteran in Afghanistan.
Trump policy supporters
And without exception, her death case is subject to inquest and investigation.
The officer pulled the trigger on her.

He said, "The insurgents are serious and determined to destroy.
Causing damage to political figures involved
They beat the officers with iron pipes and threw acid at them.
Some even openly pointed their guns at the officers."
Sund also confirmed that several suspicious items were recovered around the Capitol.
It is a steel pipe with a screw cap at both ends and is connected to an electrical wire.
It is assumed to be an improvised explosive device.
The Congress forwarded it to the FBI for further investigation and investigation.
Initially, CCTV footage can provide clues to confirm the identity of the person.
The appearance, equipment and clothing of the bomber have been identified.
And the FBI has issued an arrest warrant with a reward.
