Two Capitol Police officers have been suspended and another person has been arrested for their alleged involvement in the riot on Jan. 6, said Rep. Tim Ryan, who is chair of the House Appropriations subcommittee handling the investigation into the police response to the Capitol attack last week.

“I know that there were two people that were suspended,” Ryan said during a press call. “One was the selfie officer and another was an officer that put a MAGA hat on that started directing some people around,” the lawmaker said.

Ryan confirmed that there are approximately 10 to 15 Capitol Police officers under investigation for their behavior during the riot, but he did not have specific details.

The Ohio Democrat had fewer details regarding the individual who was arrested.

1. Excellent! There is obviously some serious cleaning out to do, glad they've made a start.

[SheltieLover]

2. Good!

Keep digging!!!

3. Self delete....misread

4. Justice grinds slowly sometimes....

but she does grind. And she's knows everyone's number.

5. Good. Fucking traitor is basically a cop killer too.

They need to be in jail, not just fired.

[keithsw]

7. That's the problem

they weren't fired, just suspended! They need to be FIRED and arrested

[Evolve Dammit]

11. Agree and welcome!

[keithsw]

13. Thank you

Glad to be here!

19. They should definitely be

charged with complicity in the murder of one colleague and the injuries of others! If I were one of their non-complicit fellow officers, I'd feel so betrayed and angry!

[Hip2bSquare]

6. This is the most frightening

How deep is the trump rot in law enforcement? I'm sure more of this could be coming and let's hope there are more true American heros than trump scum!

[Evolve Dammit]

10. That is the big question indeed. Welcome!

[RussBLib]

8. perhaps the cop who committed suicide

didn't want to face the music. Maybe he thought he would be a hero? Maybe he was snuffed out by the other insane cops, because he was about to crack. so many questions.

[Squinch]

9. Suspended? Fire their asses!!!

[Withywindle]

12. Good. Get rid of all of them who were complicit in this

Their actions led directly to a colleague's brutal death, and they have to live with that.

[liberalhistorian]

20. Maybe that's

the reason behind an officer's suicide on Saturday. He couldn't live with the death and injuries, and maybe also the shame and fear of his complicity being uncovered.

14. Good

[iluvtennis]

15. Suspension isn't good enough for the "selfie officer" - he should be fired. nt

[George II]

16. It will happen, and there will be prosecution, too. They have to suspend first, pending charges.

[iluvtennis]

17. OK...good to know. Can't wait. nt

18. Two officers from Seattle PD are under admin. leave, while their circumstances are investigated.

It seems that ordinary citizens are not in legal peril as long as they stayed outside the Capitol, but that doesn't hold true for military members, or police officers. Simply attending was crossing the line for them.
