Six Capitol Police Officers Suspended Without Pay As Feds Investigate Roles In Jan 6 Breach | ZeroHedge
Scoop Publisher Francesco Abbruzzino
Six Capitol police officers have been suspended without pay and are currently under investigation for alleged conduct during the Jan. 6 riot, according to Axios.
According to a spokesperson, the suspensions and investigations are related to a directive by acting Capitol Police Chief Yogananda Pittman to reprimand officers who did not properly respond to the riots. Pittman told Congress past month that the Capitol police “failed to meet its own high standards” during the incident and did not take the necessary steps to prepare for the “strong potential for violence.”

Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) said that one of the suspended officers took a selfie with one of the rioters, and that another one wore a “Make America Great Again” hat and directed people around the building, according to CNN.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said earlier this month that Congress plans to establish a “9/11-type commission” to investigate the siege and report on “the preparedness and response of the United States Capitol Police and other federal, state, and local law enforcement.”
