One of the first teams of heavily armed police to respond to Monday's shooting in Washington DC was ordered to stand down by superiors, the BBC can reveal.

A tactical response team of the Capitol Police, a force that guards the US Capitol complex, was told to leave the scene by a supervisor instead of aiding municipal officers.

Nobody told them in advance that it was a staged event?

I can't imagine if the event was not staged that they would turn away help from SWAT.

These guys are getting so sloppy all their moves are completely obvious.

Looks like the SWAT guys are pissed they weren't allowed to do their job. Finally have a chance to take on a mad shooter instead of the BS work they do every day.
