(Worthy News) – The U.S. Capitol Police chief who was in charge during last week’s deadly riots reportedly asked his supervisors ahead of time for permission to request that the D.C. National Guard be on standby if the situation spiraled out of control – but was denied.

Steven Sund, who resigned from the position as of Friday, revealed the plea this week in an interview with The Washington Post.
