National Police Assn. Rips Congress For Jan.6 Focus While ‘Ignoring’ 2020 Riots
The National Police Association lambasted Congress on Tuesday for focusing heavily on the breach of the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6 will “ignoring” the chaos, rioting, destruction, and violence that took place throughout the country last year.
“There were at least 574 violent riots in 2020, and yet today’s Congressional hearings are focusing on only one riot, January 6th, 2021, and hearing testimony from only a few of the police officers involved,” association spokeswoman Betsy Brantner Smith told The Washington Times.
Smith, a retired police sergeant, noted that immediately following the death of George Floyd in Minnesota in late May 2020, “policing was attacked from all sides” though law enforcement agencies were dealing with “violent riots night, after night, after night.”
