"Legislation to honor the Capitol Police and Washington’s Metropolitan Police Department with Congressional Gold Medals, in recognition of their heroism in protecting members of Congress from pro-Trump rioters on Jan. 6, is headed to President Joe Biden’s desk for his signature. The Senate passed, by unanimous consent, a bill that would provide four Congressional Gold Medals to the Capitol Police and those who protected the Capitol during the attack. The medals will be displayed at the Capitol Police headquarters, Metropolitan Police Department headquarters, the Smithsonian Institution and the Capitol. Congressional Gold Medals are given to people or institutions as Congress’ “highest expression of national appreciation for distinguished achievements and contributions,” as the House historian’s website puts it."

DC Mayor Bowser now funding the police. kek

WASHINGTON: "The D.C. Council unanimously voted on Tuesday to approve what they called a "compromise" package, providing $5 million for the Metropolitan Police Department to hire more police officers and put $6 million toward other wrap-around service measures and violence interruption. This is instead of authorizing $11 million that Mayor Muriel Bowser had proposed to provide for 170 new officers in addition to the 135 officers she previously asked for. The issue of not having enough police in the department is one that the department and at least three police chiefs have been dealing with for years, going back to at least 2015 when Chief Lanier was warning of a looming retirement bubble. It was widely reported that in May when Mayor Bowser introduced her $17.5 billion "Fair Shot" FY2022 budget, it also included an around $36 million reduction in funding for police, having to do with vacancy savings."
