Ohio Congressman Tim Ryan said on Monday that at least two U.S. Capitol Police officers have been suspended over their complicity in last week’s insurrection by Trump supporters.
Ryan heads the House Appropriations subcommittee on the legislative branch, which has oversight over the U.S. Capitol Police.
One officer who was suspended took a selfie with rioters and another who wore a MAGA hat and gave directions.
There were advance warnings about pro-Trump demonstrations on the day Congress was set to certify Joe Biden’s presidential win but the Capitol Police did not increase staffing and ended up being unprepared and overrun.
Former Capitol Hill Police Officer, Theortis “Butch” Jones spoke with Roland Martin during Tuesday’s edition of #RoladnMartinUnfiltered about he siege and shared his views on whether this was an anomaly or if there was something more sinister at play.
