The head of the Fraternal Order of Police for the U.S. Park Police, Kenneth Spencer, expressed concern over the recent protests in Washington, where officers faced staffing shortages and limited resources. Spencer described the situation as 'disheartening' in response to criticism from some Members of Congress and the media.
Despite having only 29 officers available and no additional support from the Department of Interior, law enforcement managed to make 10 arrests during the chaotic protests. Spencer emphasized that officers were not lenient with protesters and faced aggression from a large crowd.
