Hopefully the capitol police has been trained since they were overwhelmed by a hoard of chuds and geriatrics 4 years ago.

Still to this day the only time I've ever seen riot control tools used to spec instead of fired in volleys at head level.

Not OP but it usually means to specification, ie as per specified standards/procedures.
