In addition to the four deaths among those attending the protest-turned-riot, as many as 60 Capitol Police officers were injured during the attack, according to the lawmaker in charge of appropriating funds for the agency. Many were hit in the head with metal pipes, said Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio), and 15 have been hospitalized, with one in critical condition.

Did the injuries happen before or after they took selfies with and opened the doors for terrorists? If it was after, oh well. |

Don't forget to add all the Covid cases that will happen because of no social distancing.

I'm guessing the ones who got attacked were the ones who didn't aid and abet the terrorists. Best wishes to them, if that is the case.
My favorite other injury report is the Trumper terrorist who accidentally tased himself.

CNN is reporting that a US Capitol police officer died of injuries. My sympathies go out to his family. My sense is that some of the various security detail may have been in cahoots with the mob yesterday, but I continue to be haunted by the frequently shown video of an officer at the top of the stairs being threatened by the mob, and then running away, chased by them as they climbed the stairs. It must have been terrifying. |

It must have been terrifying. I don’t disagree with you, but I’m equally disturbed by the many videos of police just letting terrorists in or standing by doing nothing. In one case, they were actually waving them in. There’s clearly an element of the call coming from inside the building here. It’s a shame for the officers who were doing what they had sworn to do. |

I want to know what specific orders Chief Steven Sund gave - he's publicly admitted to preparing for a First Amendment demonstration and didn't expect a violent attack. We know he turned down the National Guard and FBI's offer of assistance which was offered days ago. Was he actually delusional enough to think that these people were just going to demonstrate on the stairs outside? The failures absolutely begin with him and his resignation is little comfort quite frankly. ETA this is Sund's official statement talking about what transpired including: "The USCP had a robust plan established to address anticipated First Amendment activities" I just cannot believe he was that stupid. www.uscp.gov/media-center/press-releases/statement-steven-sund-chief-police |

It’s been all over the internet for 2 weeks that they planned to ‘storm the capital’ They sold ‘revolution’ t shirts ahead of time for Christ’s sake. With the date. Anyone who said they didn’t know this might happen had their head in the sand. It’s either a total lack of preparation as a part of his job or turning a blind eye on purpose. Either way he should be fired and investigated |

Apparently the police officer who has died was bashed in the head with a fire extinguisher. I just can't imagine.

The more I see and hear, the more I think that they purposely didn’t hold the protestors to the perimeter. They were likely told to be “nice” to Trump’s fans but they were naive in thinking the terrorist would be calm. They were wrong.
If I was working at the Capitol I think I would be demanding that they all get fired and start over with building a new force. I wouldn’t feel safe with them “protecting” me.

Don't worry...my trump loving friend just posted on Facebook that we don't have any names or identification of anyone else injured so it obviously didn't happen.  |
