I think you read too much into their comment. You can't deduce from the comment that they're any kind of apologist. They just made the assumption that there must already be more cameras and surveillance but they didn't state their opinion on that.

Now, to give you my opinion on it. I completely share your concerns but I think that when it comes to something as significant as the capitol, more surveillance and cameras should be warranted.
