Mike Luckovich for February 12, 2021

I wonder how these officers feel seeing the disrespect they are getting from Congress. Aren’t the republicants the ones who shout about respecting the law and its officers? Do not see that now.

He’s dead, kid. Traitorous suckers and losers killed him at the behest of their cult leader.

For many reasons the Capitol Police failed their basic mission. Protection of the Capital Building. They should be abolished and replaced by uniformed US Marshals.

Whatcha want for lunch? We got soup or heroes.

Except for the several cops who appeared to be co- conspirators.

I think the point here is that Cspitol Cops are HEROES.

Trump began inciting the insurrection as soon as July, he knew that he had a good chance of losing reelection. He began the theme that the election was rigged and was stolen from him and his supporters even before the election actually was held, stepping up that rhetoric as it became more apparent that he was going to lose. Once he did lose, he filed 60 something court cases protesting the outcome, none of which he won, most of which were thrown out for lack of evidence.

As soon as the election was called for Biden, he started sending out tweets calling for his supporters to gather in D.C. on January 6, ready to fight- or “they would not have a country’. They actually believed that they were fighting for their country, and for the true President of United States against a fraud who had stolen the election. And, they greatly outnumbered the Capitol Police. He didn’t send any additional help, when it was obvious that the mob would overtake the Capitol and quite likely actually kill congress members, and refused to do so when it was requested.Mike Pence had to do that, from the room where he and his family were hiding from Trump’s mob. Mike Pence is actually a hero in all this mess. He was willing to follow his constitutional duty and count the electoral votes. And, that was before he was confronted with a mob chanting “Hang Mike Pence”, and setting up a gallows on the capitol lawn. There are a few other Republican heroes, but not enough. Most of them are going to vote, against overwhelming evidence to keep their jobs because they believe that their constituents support Trump’s mob. But even those people who were part of the mob realizing they were duped. Republicans have gone too far this time. And, the truth of the situation is going to become more and more apparent as time goes by. The Republicans who vote to acquit Trump because they believe their base wants them to may get a surprise the next time they run for reelection.

I don’t like to traffic in conspiracies, but……….. several congresspersons and their staffs had been paying attention to internet chatter and had for several days prior to 1/11 been preparing for a siege by bringing tennis shoes and extra clothing to work. (can’t run fast in a skirt and high heels) Anyway, this same information must have been available to our homeland security departments and why did they drop the ball or had the ball taken from them?

He’s talking about Officer Goodwin.

Again, congratulations to the sane commenters here who are utterly ignoring the troll; that’s what it’ll take to make it go away.

Specifically, Eugene Goodman. A true hero.

Evil antiAmerican Trump and his appointed cronies withheld reinforcements in hope their hypnotized hillbillies would kill all the democrats.

You should join the capitol police and show them how to react.

My camera had caught the ravings of that madman, Trump

Who told a crowd of Judases “Just jump when I say jump!”

And their collective intellect is just a sewage dump

The way they carried on!

Never glory for those haters

Never glory for those traitors

Lock ’em up until much laters

The way they carried on!

Doing his job. These folks are just doing a photo shoot.

Second verse:

They attacked our sacred Capitol like locusts run amok

While patriots throughout our land could only stare in shock

Yes, each and every Judas there deserves a harsh cell block

The way they carried on!

Never glory for those haters

Never glory for those traitors

Lock ’em up until much laters

They way they carried on!

It was the DC police who did most of the actual fighting. Half the Capitol PD were in with the QNazis.

Wonder how Stan Lee would have depicted Officer Goodman ♥♥

I just love this! Congratulations to Officer Eugene Goodman on your Congressional Gold Medal. You are a true hero!

Trump should be charged with complicity in the death of the Capitol police officer on January 6, 2021

Why are we ignoring the Constitution? Charge the MAGAS with TREASON and hang them all.

Poor Hawkeye.

now you like the cops
