More than a dozen police officers still on medical leave from Jan. 6 injuries
By Cameron Jenkins - 06/03/21 07:56 PM EDT

Over a dozen police officers injured during the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol remain on medical leave, according to a report from CBS News.

Over 150 law enforcement officers sustained injuries on Jan. 6 attack. Of those who reported injuries, 86 were Capitol Police officers and 65 were members of the Metropolitan Police Department.

As of Thursday, at least 10 Capitol police officers had not yet returned to duty due to injuries, a source told the outlet.

A spokesperson for the Washington, D.C., Metropolitan Police confirmed to CBS that seven officers on the force remained on "less than full duty status" as of Friday due to injuries associated with the Capitol attack.

On the day in early January, a group of former President Trump's supporters marched to the Capitol with the goal of halting the congressional certification of the 2020 election results. Rioters broke through Capitol security, smashing windows and ransacking lawmakers' offices.

Capitol Police and D.C. Metro Police officers sustained injuries after rioters could be seen in bystander footage beating law enforcement with different objects and spraying chemical irritants.

Chief Robert Contee said that more officers were also injured, enduring bruises, scratches and burns from chemical sprays, but "did not even bother to report" their injuries, according to CBS News.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

-Dwight Eisenhower-


"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So, take away their guns and they won't be able to shoot each other next time.

It's been five months, they're all healed up.

I suspect they're trying to milk worker's comp for everything they can because if they go back to work, they'll have the job of defending dangerous trash like Pelosi, Scummer, and the Squat.
