Are the Capitol police mad at the Republicans members?

Not that they won’t just keep doing their jobs, I know they will. But am I overestimating how much it would impact personal relationships?

yes, they are....they know the GOP is all hot air when it comes to law enforcement, protecting the "men in blue" and so on.

It is not accurate to say that 5 officers were killed on January 6th.

One officer suffered injuries after interacting with protesters and then died by stroke. I feel comfortable saying his death was brought on by the riot but he was not directly killed by them.

In addition, four officers committed suicide in the aftermath of J6. This is a very big deal and I wish it would be discussed more and I especially get upset when Trump and others supportive of the riot dismiss this out of hand. Mental health is a big deal for all first responders. Police officers are especially susceptible to mental health crises after being engaged in violent altercations. J6 was chaotic and violent. It was a confusing event and Trump's refusal to send the National Guard to help Capitol officers who were scrambling and did not have control of the situation made it worse. Capitol police take seriously their mission to not only keep the peace on Capitol grounds, but to protect both our elected officials and the Capitol itself as a historical artifact and symbol of democracy. So four officers taking their own lives after this totally unprecedented event that resulted in multiple deaths the day of, a total disruption in an important Congressional proceeding, and considerable damage to the building itself, matters.

Anyway, I have a friend who is a former member of the Capitol police force and he is livid about this. He blames Trump more than Republicans in Congress but he does not understand why other Republicans do not stand up to Trump on this issue. He even pardoned the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers who are known instigators of violent activity. It is grotesque.

You really don't understand murder do you.

I have family in law enforcement and some worked for Capitol police.

There are some cops that are intelligent and educated and they understand how illegal and against the constitution J6 was. They are appalled. Many former military and seriously understand protecting the Constitution.

Many are not intelligent/educated, many just needed a job and are from small towns. They are very MAGA and like he said, he could shoot someone on the street and his followers won't care. Some are educated but have male identity crisis and DGAF about what he did or does. Some are just guy who were bullies in HS with inferiority complexes and are a mess.

So it's split.

Some police are MAGA and they were on the side of rioters and criminals.

Those four officers probably realized they put their bodies on the line and fought American patriots so that Joe Biden could steal the election. That probably weighed heavy on them. Heavier than they could bear. Kind of like what happens to vets after they realize they killed entire Iraqi families for a lie.

Joint IACP-FOP Statement on the
Recent Presidential Pardons
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) and the Fraternal Order of
Police (FOP) have had long standing and positive relationships with both President
Trump and President Biden and have greatly appreciated their support of the policing
profession. However, the IACP and FOP are deeply discouraged by the recent pardons
and commutations granted by both the Biden and Trump Administrations to individuals
convicted of killing or assaulting law enforcement officers. The IACP and FOP firmly
believe that those convicted of such crimes should serve their full sentences.
Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety —
they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of
these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices
made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families.
When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it
sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are
not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.
The IACP and FOP call on policymakers, judicial authorities, and community leaders to
ensure that justice is upheld by enforcing full sentences, especially in cases involving
violence against law enforcement. This approach reaffirms our commitment to the rule
of law, public safety, and the protection of those who risk their lives for our communities

NAPO Statement on the Pardoning of Individuals Convicted of Assaulting Law Enforcement Officers on January 6, 2021
January 21, 2025

Alexandria, VA – The National Association of Police Organizations (NAPO) has consistently stood in support of the U.S. Capitol Police Officers and Metropolitan Police Department Officers who were outnumbered, insufficiently equipped, and subjected to violence as they did their duty to protect the U.S. Capitol and those working within it on January 6, 2021. We continue to condemn the acts of violence against officers that day and strongly believe that those who commit violent assaults on law enforcement officers should not benefit from a pardon. We are disappointed with the President’s actions as any person who assaults an officer should face serious punishment

I hope so- the betrayal.
I’d quit.

I can’t believe Trump has reduced republicans to arguing about who died from what, as if it is obviously fine to pardon people who merely beat the crap out of police officers.

If Chief Manger doesn't resign soon, I will be surprised.

I'm confused by this new boot-licking Democratic party.

Before you go make up stories about dead service officers who died tragically after one of the hardest days of their professional lives, maybe you should actually read about these people. There is zero evidence to support what you are describing here. Politico did a long piece about one of the officers a couple weeks ago: https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/01/06/jan-6-officer-howie-liebengood-00195463

These were actual people, not just tools for you to make a political point.

The five officers above died as a result of the riot that occurred on January 6, 2021. All would be alive if that riot did not occur.

Dude. Most police are maga. And most maga literally believe those who did acts of violence were antifa impersonating maga. They aren't outraged because in their minds, it wasn't them and their fellow magas.
