This is going viral before anyone confirms who it is actually from - and it is signed by anonymous “members” of the Capitol Police, not by the organization itself or its chief. Caution recommended! 
Very big difference. This is not a statement from the US Capitol Police as an organization, as the initial viral tweet said/suggested. (I know some people will respond “same thing,” but it’s really not.)

Yes, aware of this from Raskin’s office. I’m noting that, whatever its merits, an unsigned letter from an unknown number of unnamed people at the Capitol Police is substantially different than a statement issued by the Capitol Police.

Story from @ZcohenCNN and co: “CNN spoke to the officer who wrote the letter and claimed it represented the view of 40 to 50 officers. ‘It needed to be out there. It needed to be done,’ the officer said. CNN could not independently verify that other officers supported the letter”
