Shockwaves continue to roll through the Capitol Police as Assistant U.S. Capitol Police Chief Chad Thomas resigned Monday, The Hill reported.

“For your awareness, USCP Assistant Chief Chad Thomas is no longer serving as Commander of Uniformed Operations and will be separating from the department,” the U.S. Capitol Police said in a notification to lawmakers obtained by The Hill.

Thomas is the latest to go in the wake of the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol where hundreds of former President Donald Trump supporters stormed the governmental building as Congress officially tabulated Electoral College results and declared President Joe Biden the winner.

The chief at the time of the riot, Steven Sund, gave notice he was leaving the department the day following the incident, the Hill reported at the time.

Thomas, who joined the agency in 1996, was the assistant chief of uniformed operations since 2019

A report on the riot is expected this week from the Senate, where lawmakers are reviewing the roles of the various agencies assigned to protect the building.

The capital police department continues to outright lie about the deaths, injuries and events form January 6th.

Those are reflected in this article, even in NewsMax. I edited those portions. I do not like outright lies.

It is important that 2 top officers and 70 capital policemen have left the force. And that the Senate is about to receive another report to discuss.

This is a huge cover-up. America is the capital of cover-ups these days.
1. Hunter
2. Stolen election
3. COVID origin
4. COVID policies
5. Ashlee’s murder
6. Jan. 6

This ‘job’ was a highly paid deal and up until the 6th...probably one of the lesser stressed law enforcement jobs around.

With the blame game underway, I would imagine that most all are thinking about leaving DC in general (with resumes being mailed out).

I suspect by 2024...what will exist in DC and the Capital Police force...will be something like the Green Zone security apparatus from Iraq. That thought might worry some folks.

Resignations in government mean corruption and illicit activities. Time to jump ship.

They believe they are getting the hell out of Dodge ahead of the posse. Or another one is, “Rats leaving a sinking ship.”

The only rioters I saw {I watched some of it that was televised, were members of ANTIFA. At the time they were walking and moving around. They were carrying American Flags and wearing red caps, but one could tell from watching their movements and observing their posture along with watching them in action from the past, they were not Trump supporters. Their deportment at that time compared favorably to ANTIFA behavior in the past.

The report is that 70 have resigned (soon after Jan 6). I think that is a bit abnormal for the job. Not sure how many are on the Captital Police Force.

Wiki says the DC Capital Police force is 2,000+

So roughly 3% resignation.

People are starting to ask questions about those who are being detained and their treatment.

Hhahahh...What a head fake. I’ll bet that just about all have been with Capital Police long enough to have their pensions vested. They will “retire” and move sideways to another make-work Federale job. Maybe the private sector too.
