A spokesperson for the U.S. Capitol Police has confirmed to FOX 5 that the Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the actions of 35 police officers on Jan. 6, the day of the riot at the Capitol, and suspended six officers with pay.
The statement from the department reads. “Our Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the actions of 35 police officers from that day. We currently have suspended six of those officers with pay.
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.”
Viral videos of some Capitol Police officers raise questions about their actions during the riot. Some officers are seen standing along a doorway almost motionless as people file into the Capitol.
At least two accused rioters have told the FBI a Capitol Police officer told them, “It’s your house now.” Lawmakers have stated that one officer suspended took a selfie with someone and another was seen wearing a MAGA hat.
In a video, that officer wearing the hat asks two men if they can help him get through the crowd to help other officers inside the Capitol.
The officer hands one of the men his megaphone and says, “I’ll follow you.”
The video was taken by Rico La Starza who says he was visiting D.C. and went to the Capitol and started filming when he saw what was happening…
…More than 250 people have been charged so far in connection with the riot, and investigators say they’re still looking potentially for hundreds more.
Now maybe we can begin to understand why Capitol Police Officers committed suicide, in the wake of the Capitol Riot.
We also know why Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund resigned following the Riot:
AND THEN THERE'S THIS:
Dinesh D'Souza did a podcast pointing out Nancy Pelosi's very peculiar behavior regarding events at the Capitol in the days leading up to January 6. In the five weeks since then, Pelosi has turned Washington, D.C. into an armed, walled city and is working with the White House to crack down on dissenting views -- meaning, any views that run counter to the Democrat party narrative.
There's something weirdly un-American about what we're seeing now...
D'Souza points out something we've all noticed, which is that, on January 6, many of the people peacefully walked and gawked through the Capitol after having been invited in -- and treated respectfully -- by the relatively small number of Capitol police officers on duty.
If you've ever visited the Capitol in the past, you know that's not how it ordinarily works...
In case you're wondering, this is how totalitarian dictatorships operate. Free speech is out; increasingly brutal suppression is in. And speaking of increasing brutality, there's the fact that the Democrats have used the events of January 7 to turn Washington, D.C., into a security fortress of the type any tyrant would love...
One could say that Pelosi was Machiavellian enough to position matters in advance of January 6 to create a trap for Trump and his supporters. Equally, one could say she simply elevated a stupid, drab, depressing event into a crisis so that she could refrain from letting it go to waste. No matter the viewpoint, the fact remains that January 6 was the best thing that ever happened to a political party anxious to jettison the Constitution and achieve total control over America.
