Two Capitol police officers suspended over behavior during riot

Senator says one officer took selfie with rioter and another wore Maga hat, as concerns grow over inauguration security

Two Capitol police officers have been suspended as a result of their actions during the storming of the US Capitol, as pressure mounts on law enforcement to hold rioters accountable and to secure Washington DC from further violence ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration next week.

Tim Ryan, a Democratic senator of Ohio, told reporters on Monday that one of the officers took a selfie with someone and the other put on a Make America Great Again" hat. He says of the latter that the interim chief determined that to be qualifying for immediate suspension".
