Washington D.C. is on high security alert this week due to the Presidential Inauguration on Wednesday, January 20. On Monday morning, the Capitol building was put on full-blown lockdown for an hour, due to a small fire a short distance away.
A surprising video shared on social media Wednesday, January 6, captured the moment a police officer at the U.S. Capitol paused in the midst of an unprecedented protest breaching the building's security to take a selfie with a protester.
