I was reading about the professor who wrote the book at the same time. I guess I just figured the Gov was a Dem.

I’ll take a guess …….he’s not exactly a right winger.

Perhaps there should be a congressional inquiry as to why so many psychologically fragile officers were employed by the Capitol police. I would bet that nearly every police officer in every major city experiences trauma as great or greater than what was experienced on Jan 6. Is there a similar suicide rate among those officers?

I was trapped in a liberal household due to not having any power in mine. Watching the extremely biased coverage of the Capitol riot on it's anniversary by PBS was appalling. I wonder where they get these Capitol police from. Watching the hearings and the cops testimony was something I have never seen before from an officer. I watch a decent amount of Court Tv. I have seen policemen testify about horrific things, they all are professional, stick to the facts and show no emotion.


The Capitol police during the hearings were crying, shouting, and pounding the tables. It looked like drama theater. During the interviews a year after some said it made them "heart broken."


Where the hell do they get these soft mother fuyers at? I thought cops were supposed to be mentally tough and highly functional in pressure situations.

Maybe they were paid actors. Or just paid.

You can't be serious, Ralph. Chris Matthews is probably the commentator I hate the most, I really enjoyed him fighting back tears on election night when it looked like Trump was going to beat Hillary Clinton.


How the hell are they vetting these guys they hire as Capitol police? I had a girlfriend that was about 30 back in the day who was highly emotional during that time of the month. One morning she was in the kitchen crying. I asked her what was wrong and she said. "I just burnt the toast, I can't do anything right." I tried very hard not to burst out laughing.



I have a feeling if she told that story during an interview after applying to the Capitol police they would have hired her on the spot with no further questions.

Are you sure he wasn't a Keystone cop?

Yeah, maybe. I bet the soft mother fuyers who killed themselves were probably paid the most. And now they have the balls to suggest they receive benefits reserved for officers killed in the line of duty.

They must have felt pretty guilty about something to kill themselves.

I'd go with just paid. No way were they actors. It would have been a better performance.

I could not believe the way the guy caught in the door was screaming like a little girl. If I was his commanding officer I would have slapped the crap out of him. Is drama queen training part of the academy they attend?

And decides to say it was in the line of duty?
The same people who are pushing the lie that it was a coup, the same people who redefine the definition of "vaccine" so they don't have to admit failure?
Proportionally, the number of suicides is far out of wack with suicides by soldiers who faced real combat in real wars.

Of course this a cover story, part of the cover up. These people are dumb but they're not stupid.

That's where you come in.
