Bill > AJR14

This joint resolution condemns the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol, describing it as a violent insurrection that not only breached the Capitol building but also undermined the fundamental principles of American democracy and the U.S. Constitution. The resolution specifically highlights the heroism of law enforcement officers who were injured while protecting members of Congress during the riot, with at least 140 officers suffering traumatic injuries. It criticizes the hypothetical future presidential pardons and commutations of approximately 1,500 individuals involved in the attack, characterizing such actions as a betrayal to law enforcement and all U.S. citizens. The resolution references specific violent acts committed during the riot, such as assaulting officers with flagpoles and bear spray, and notes that law enforcement professional organizations have condemned such pardons as potentially emboldening future violent acts. The document calls for the Nevada Legislature to officially condemn the attack, denounce potential pardons, and directs the Chief Clerk of the Assembly to transmit the resolution to key federal government officials, including the President, Senate President Pro Tempore, House Speaker, and Nevada's Congressional Delegation.
