"when it got violent", hmm - meaning after protestors were allowed in by Capitol police who moved aside barricades, who were chilling within arms' reach, visors up, taking selfies with the protestors?
Perhaps after those same protestors committed almost no damage to the building or its historical contents, respected velvet ropes, and left peacefully when asked? Also all on video.
Or do you mean when an unarmed 4-tour veteran got shot in the neck by someone for starting to climb through a window which she did not break, with Capitol police standing immediately behind her?
In all fairness, based on an on-the-ground right wing source, what basically happened is that the "usual suspects" as we may call them (Probably there hoping there would be some shitstarting counterprotesters to brawl with) started to intimidate the police and pushed the rather negligable police presence backwards. This police then backed up into one direction; where the hooligans started to do the more vandal acts of breaching like bashing windows.
This entirely left open a path for the protestors to a different entrance at the final defensive police line, where the policemen probably figured their colleagues just let them through so they went like "Hey, good lads, feel free to enter. Behave though, and we still might to arrest you on federal trespassing into Congress but hey, thats Wednesday nowadays. Have fun!" and then proceeded to let the confused crowd of boomers and middle aged white people waltz in.
I stay with the point that if there was even a single legitimate terrorist in the crowd; we would've known. This situation could've been easily abused by anyone to go to one of the offices that doesn't connect to the window, which, mind you, are filled with wonderful oh-so-flammable paper and hardwood furniture, clog the fire alerts and then just leave a few ignited molotovs that would eventually explode. None of this happened.
Came back to affirm that the NG would never have arrived in time. That was a rowdy time that resulted in the murder of a patriot and Veteran named Ashli Babbit.

Yep...no fire...would have been burned down if it was a liberal mob.
