The marker was installed on the Senate side of the Capitol and is expected to stay there until both chambers can agree on a more permanent place for it.
Just before dawn Saturday, a plaque honoring U.S. Capitol Police along with other law enforcement agencies who protected the Capitol on Jan. 6 was installed.
It comes more than five years after insurrectionists stormed the building. The Senate voted to install the plaque after the House GOP refused to display it.
“I think that speaks volumes about, they’re doing this because they were forced to do it, and they did it in a manner that really added insult to the injury, to the injury that they had already subjected so many law enforcement officers to,” said former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone.
Fanone was one of the officers attacked by the rioters five years ago. He later suffered a heart attack and resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department.
Fanone said many officers feel betrayed by the institutions they fought to protect.
“They installed it at four in the morning, in a part of the Senate that is not accessible to the public,” he said. “The whole purpose of the plaque is to remind the public when they come visit the Capitol of the selflessness, courage of the Metropolitan Police Department and the U.S. Capitol Police.”

When Trump was sworn in for his second term last year, he pardoned roughly 1,500 criminal defendants who were charged for their actions at the capitol on Jan. 6.
The new marker comes two months after the Senate unanimously agreed to a resolution directing the architect of the Capitol to install the plaque honoring the officers who defended the Capitol on Jan. 6.
The resolution was introduced earlier this year after Congress had stalled on plans outlined in a 2022 law to install a similar plaque by March 2023.
The marker was installed on the Senate side of the Capitol and is expected to stay there until both chambers can agree on a more permanent place for it.
Former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, who filed a joint lawsuit seeking the installation of the plaque, took to social media, writing" "The location of the plaque that was just hung is in a place that it will not be visible to the public. While I am thankful for this first step, our lawsuit continues until the plaque is hung in accordance with the law.”
The plaque reads, “On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

Bunch of p*ssies. They never would have made it as ICE or Border Patrol agents.
The men’s room at the nearest Greyhound station would be appropriate...
Maybe they will vote to place it in a landfill.
No one was charged with insurrection. I wonder if people could have a lawsuit against NBC for calling them insurrectionists.
Ahh yes....All these “insurrectionists stormed” the building through doors being held open for them by the police themselves...
Uh huh… where’s the plaque for all the dead and injured police for all of summer of love 2020 where the REAL insurrectionists were
None of those stinking corrupt politicians or Capitol keystone cops were in danger that day. This silly plaque is a memorialized lie.
Melt it down or throw it out.
Perpetuating the lie.
What will they want next, a monument to “all the police officers who died on Jan. 6”?
I want a plaque in the Congressional Building for all the people killed by illegal aliens that the weasels in Congress have allowed into this country.
Let’s get a plaque for all the patriots who protested a stolen election on Jan. 6. Can’t forget those patriots who were denied their rights and railroaded to tho prison by a corrupt regime.
the big lie repeated daily since jan 6th, 2021
lest anyone take a closer look at Nov 3rd...
