The statement from the Capital Police Department in DC reads:
"Our Office of Professional Responsibility is investigating the actions of 35 police officers from that day (Jan 6th). 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."
Yes. But safer for the organization legally if they don't have hard evidence yet. Taking away their pay affects public opinion so they have to be careful or face potential litigation. Yes, it sucks. But if they are eventually convicted, this won't matter.
Implicating the cops? Seems to point a finger at Pelosi. We'll see!
