Despite mounting evidence continuously exposed by @EpochTimes that some law enforcement officers engaged in brutal, unprovoked attacks against essentially peaceful #Jan6 protesters, every one of them has been cleared of wrongdoing. (Thread👇) theepochtimes.com/exclusive-capi…

However, several documents obtained exclusively by @EpochTimes show other officers were investigated for being friendly with protesters, 6 of whom were found guilty and disciplined for their actions. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-capi…

According to a Sept. 12, 2021, news report, the US Capitol Police Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) launched 38 internal investigations related to police conduct on #Jan6, 2021.

Many of the investigations were prompted by anonymous tips. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-capi…

However, the OPR was only able to identify the officers involved in 26 of the 38 incidents. 25 of these reports were obtained exclusively by @EpochTimes, some of which are outlined below. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-capi…

In some of these cases, officers were investigated for simply bumping elbows, shaking hands, and fist bumping with #Jan6 protesters who had entered the Capitol building.

Another officer was investigated because he had an “Oathkeeper” bumper sticker on his vehicle.

In another report, an unnamed officer was accused of violating the USCP rules of conduct when he “allegedly made contact with 3 unidentified and unauthorized male individuals in what appeared to be recognition and possible friendship” and initiated fist bumps with them.

While the majority of the investigations concluded the accused officers were not guilty of violating any rules, others were not as lucky.

Of the 26 incidents investigated, the USCP announced that disciplinary action was recommended in 6 cases.

3 of these were for “conduct unbecoming.” Another was for “improper remarks.”

Reports for 5 of the 6 cases were among those obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times. theepochtimes.com/exclusive-capi…
