6 Capitol police officers suspended, more under investigation over pro-Trump riot
https://www.syracuse.com/us-news/202...rump-riot.html
One Capitol Police dead, two comitted suicide days later and one lost an eye. "By The Associated Press Chris Sommerfeldt, New York Daily News (TNS) Six U.S. Capitol Police officers have been suspended and dozens more are under investigation in connection with last month’s deadly pro-Trump attack on the historic building, a spokesman for the agency said Thursday. In total, 35 officers are facing internal investigations conducted by the U.S. Capitol Police’s Office of Professional Responsibility for their actions during the Jan. 6 riot, the spokesman said in a statement. The six suspended officers have been placed off duty with pay. The spokesman did not elaborate on the reasons for the suspensions, but suggested it’s related to acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman’s effort to reprimand officers who didn’t respond forcefully enough as a mob of violent Trump supporters stormed the building on Jan. 6. “Acting Chief Yogananda Pittman has directed that any member of her department whose behavior is not in keeping with the Department’s Rules of Conduct will face appropriate discipline,” the spokesman said. Five people, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, were killed in the Jan. 6 chaos. Another two officers who responded to the bloody attack committed suicide days later. Videos posted to social media in the aftermath of the assault showed that some Capitol Police officers took selfies with the attackers. Other officers appeared to give the attackers directions, sparking outrage among members of Congress, whose lives were in danger during the riot. In addition to internal police probes, Congress plans to establish a 9/11-style commission to investigate how the attackers were able to smash their way into the Capitol in an attempt to stop the certification of President Joe Biden’s election victory. Former President Donald Trump — whose call for the attackers to “fight like hell” inspired the insurrection — is likely to face continued scrutiny as part of the forthcoming commission inquiry." |

That article assumes facts not in evidence.

At least they're calling the event a "pro-Trump rally" instead of "Trump fueled insurrection" that they were using a few weeks ago.

Yagalanda (or whatever her stupid name is) as their leader is at fault here so of course she's going to blame others. That's what libs do.
Violating rules of conduct isn't going to float after a Summer of cops standing around with their hands in their pockets watching libs burn cities to the ground. That was still the current rule of conduct. |

Besides Babbitt, who are these dead people and how did they die? Sicknick didn’t die from injuries sustained at the event. That leaves four others. There is exactly ZERO information about these ghosts. Edit: Quote:

I believe this is misinformation. Also “deadly pro Trump attack” GMAFB How can anyone of reasonable intelligence take an article like this seriously? I know we don’t generally ban people here, but the OP doesn’t seem to contribute anything to the forum except attempting to rile people up. That should be an offense. |
