Six US Capitol Police officers have been suspended with pay, and 29 others have been placed under investigation, for their actions in the January 6 riot, a department spokesman said Thursday.

"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," department spokesman John Stolnis told CNN.

CNN reported in January that the USCP had placed at least 10 officers under investigation, and two others had been suspended.

One of the suspended officers took a selfie with someone who was part of the mob that overtook the Capitol, according to Rep. Tim Ryan, a Democrat from Ohio. Another wore a "Make America Great Again" hat and started directing people around the building, Ryan said.

1. Frank Figluizzi gave observations about this yesterday on MSNBC.

He was wondering why the DC police haven't held press conferences. It reportedly is highly unusual for an LEA to NOT inform the public on serious civil and criminal matters. The attempted insurrection fits within this category. Figluizzi referred to this reluctance by DC police as a harbinger of very ugly disclosures in the near future. How timely. Here's what may be the beginning of a reckoning within the police department.

3. I wonder if any of them were scheduled and stationed strategically to facilitate the insurrection?

If they were, I'm thinking they won't be taking one for Trump and keeping their mouth shut.

6. What a joke!!!

Why is it that police seem to be some of the only people in this country that can do wrong and still get paid. It's beyond words.

Ain't that America!!!

7. Most police dept's have strong unions. very strong unions. I have always

supported unions and will continue to do so but I do not agree with this policy.
