The "party of law and order" continues to find ways to demean our most important police officers. :rolleyes:


U.S. Mint takes Jan. 6 coin honoring officers who protected the Capitol off its website

The coins are duplicates of Congressional Gold Medals issued to law enforcement officers who protected the Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021 riot.

fucking sick... people should read the entire article

Agreed. Here's some of it:

NBC News reached out to the U.S. Mint on Thursday asking about the removal of the replica medals and did not receive a response.

Former Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, who was injured by the mob on Jan. 6, told NBC News that he tried to purchase a number of the replica medals this week, planning to hand them out as gifts, and was surprised to see they were no longer available.

Gonell said the erasure of the medals fits in a broader pattern, pointing to the failure of Congress to place a memorial for law enforcement officers who defended the Capitol up in the building before Trump's second inauguration last month.

Justice Department webpages that listed the cases and featured summaries of the work of the federal prosecutors who brought Jan. 6 cases were also removed from the web after Trump took office.

"Not only do Republican members of Congress refuse to put up the plaque, but they are even erasing and removing the ability to purchase the coin for the Congressional Gold Medal," Gonell said.
