Bill > SR0006

This resolution condemns the violent attack on the United States Capitol on January 6, 2021, which involved a mob overwhelming Capitol Police and disrupting the peaceful transfer of power. The resolution highlights that the insurrection resulted in traumatic injuries to approximately 140 law enforcement officers and was an attack not just on the physical Capitol Building, but on the fundamental principles of American democracy and the Constitution. It specifically praises the United States Capitol Police and other law enforcement agencies for their extraordinary courage and professionalism in defending the nation's capital and protecting Congress members during the dangerous event. The resolution also strongly criticizes potential presidential pardons for individuals involved in the riots, particularly noting that among 1,500 potentially pardoned individuals, 169 were found guilty of assaulting police officers. By condemning both the initial violence and potential legal absolution for the perpetrators, the resolution seeks to affirm the importance of accountability and the rule of law, while honoring the bravery of law enforcement personnel who defended the Capitol that day.
