The Hill newspaper reported yesterday that Capitol Hill police were ordered to retreat Saturday from some 300 anarchists who spraypainted graffiti on the steps of the U.S. Capitol.

According to the sources, police officers were livid when they were told to fall back by U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) Chief Phillip Morse and Deputy Chief Daniel Nichols. "They were the commanders on the scene," one source said, who requested anonymity. "It was disgusting."

Morse and Nichols should be summarily fired.

It's a fundamental, God-given right for law enforcement officers to whack anarchists on the head.

If it's not in the constitution, we need to add it.
