In reply to the discussion: JUST IN: -CapitolPolice tell me 35 officers are under investigation for actions on Jan. 6. [View all]MyMission
(2,010 posts)20. We were outnumbered, so I
1) Pulled my maga hat out of my back pocket and put it on
2) directed the Invaders to proceed peacefully (instead of asking them to leave)
3) traded something of mine for a maga hat so they'd think I was one of them
4) neglected my oath and duty to protect the capital
5) joked with the Insurrectionists so they wouldn't hurt me
And many other excuses they will need to investigate, while also investigating their social media accounts. Not sure of the exact number, but 140+ Leo's were injured. The 35 being investigated probably didn't have a scratch, and didn't respond as they should have.
