The head of the U.S. Capitol Police has come out against pardons for anyone who attacked members of law enforcement, including those who did so during the Jan. 6 insurrection four years ago, telling The Washington Post that there should be consequences for those who assault police.
According to the Department of Justice, about 140 police officers were assaulted on Jan. 6, including about 80 members of U.S. Capitol Police, one of whom, Brian Sicknick, suffered a stroke and "passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty," per a news release at the time.
