6 Capitol Police Officers Suspended, Another 29 Investigated For Alleged Roles In Jan. 6 Riot
2021-02-19
[Huffpoo] Six Capitol Police officers have been suspended with pay and 29 others are under investigation for their alleged roles in the riot last month, CNN and Fox News reported Thursday.

"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," a department spokesperson stated.

Images of apparently friendly and encouraging officers were posted on social media during and shortly after the Jan. 6 riot. Five people lost their lives in the attack, including fellow Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. Two other officers later died by suicide.

According to Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), one of the suspended officers took a selfie with a person who was part of the mob that overtook the Capitol. Another wore a "Make America Great Again" hat and appeared to direct rioters around the building.

Two accused rioters informed the FBI that a Capitol police officer told them: "It’s your house now" after they busted into the Capitol.

At least seven officers in five other police departments have also come under investigation for their alleged role in the Capitol attack.

#14  Chris Matthews used to be a Capitol cop. That tells me that they don't take the cream of the crop.

On my watch!" Beneath the verandah
Of Washington city,

Lies, dreaming: "Yo, sic, Yogananda!"

#9  Correct me if I'm wrong, last I knew the CP were armed tour guides and operated the motorcade gate.

They’re purging conservatives.
Only like minded can serve.

Mind you the dems know where all the leaks came from the last four years.
IIRC didn’t Trump have trouble with the Cap Police in his first few months?

#7  #3 Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. ...
A flat out lie.
Died of natural causes, not blunt force trauma.

George Floyd, murdered?
A flat out lie.
Died of fentanyl overdose (4x the lethal amount in his bloodstream per the Medical Examiner!) -- not asphyxiation or strangulation.

Michael Brown, murdered?
A flat out lie.
Shot after physically assaulting & threatening to take the gun of and kill an officer -- per 3 different investigations by a grand jury, Holder's DOJ, and the new left-wing DA.

"Systemic police racism" killing thousands of blacks?
A flat out lie.
Total # of killings of unarmed black suspects in US each year = 10-15.
Total # of killings of all black suspects including those violently resisting arrest are FEWER THAN # of killings of white suspects.

"Black Lives Matter is a peaceful reform movement tgat seeks racial justice."
A flat out lie.

BLM is a radical Marxist revolutionary movement whose founders were trained, mentored, inspired and supported by domestic terrorists who came out of the Weather Underground and other violent 1970s-era terror groups. Their goal is to destroy policing and overthrow the established powers, and their m.o. includes violence.

#5  With a name like Yogananda Pittman, I'll take Door # 2, Mike.

#4  ...Would it be impolite of me to point out that just a day or two back, the CP had an overwhelming vote of 'no confidence' in its leadership?

I can see discipline for the two guys who took pics and were wearing MAGA hats. But all of a sudden, an appreciable fraction of the CP is now under investigation? Either they were no good to begin with, or the leadership is afraid that their malfeasance is going to be exposed.

#3   Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick. ...

A flat out lie. there is no cause of death related to the riots stated on his death certificate and his family states that it was natural causes.

When will the Left be done dragging his corpse around to use as a cudgel (figuratively speaking). Plus the man was a Trump supporter.

This is disgusting. Who will hold Huffpost accountable?

Reads like a Fort Marcy Park history tour.
