Maybe "need protection by the Capitol Police" rather than "need protection from the Capitol Police"?

(11,647 posts)Washington ― U.S. Sen. Elissa Slotkin has been assigned around-the-clock police protection, her office said, following calls by President Donald Trump on Thursday morning that the Michigan lawmaker should be arrested and possibly put to death over a video that she made with other Democrats.
Slotkin told NBC News that she has received "hundreds and hundreds, if not, you know, closer to 1,000 threats" since the video first picked up traction in the news earlier in the week and then Trump suggested on Thursday that her message was "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"
Now, a U.S. Capitol Police officer is following Slotkin around everywhere she goes to ensure her safety, her office said late Thursday.
.....
U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-New York, told reporters Thursday that he'd requested extra security for Slotkin and Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona, who was also in the video. Schumer railed against Trump's language toward the lawmakers on the Senate floor, saying the president's language "is an outright threat, and it's deadly serious."

Probably, having seen congresspeople come and go, they know who the good guys are. And who didn't have their backs on J6.
