Contributing sentiments towards policy:

59% : Manger said Capitol Police have also requested additional assistance from outside law enforcement agencies before Tuesday's address, in addition to the request for help from the National Guard.
54% : But law enforcement officials always take into account recent events -- from the insurrection to trucker protests and other free speech demonstrations.
48% : Police in the nation's capital have mobilized additional officers and put the department's civil disturbance unit on alert for at least the next week, two law enforcement officials told the AP.
36% : Law enforcement officials never go into too much detail so would-be attackers aren't tipped off.
30% : But Manger and other law enforcement officials said they'd rather take heat for being over-prepared than relive the nightmare of being vastly outnumbered by a violent mob.
24% : While there are no specific or credible threats related to President Joe Biden's speech, law enforcement officials are taking no chances following the events of Jan. 6, 2021, when a violent mob caught the District of Columbia by surprise and successfully stormed the U.S. Capitol, briefly disrupting the certification of Biden's 2020 presidential victory.
