When you say "goons" - what armed force do you think is politically reliable? The USCP sure wasn't on Jan 6th and there don't seem to have been reforms.

this is a major problem!

I thought they had been deliberately sent home and otherwise stood down by administration officials, which I do not think Joe Biden would do

USPS Police imo

Paul Blart, Mall Cop.

Handpicked, vetted, loyal troops. This is where we are!

There was some reporting that Biden shuffled the secret service agents around to be protected by ones he trusted from the Obama administration, but he can't rely on personal relationships for ^

The USCP was pretty reliable overall. They just weren't backed up by the national guard for over 4 hours.
