Whereas, on January 6, 2021, hundreds of protestors sieged the United States Capitol while Congress was debating the certification of electoral votes; Whereas United States Capitol Police officers and other law enforcement officers were injured, gassed from their own tear gas, and afraid for their lives as they attempted to hold the line; Whereas Members and staff were protected by United States Capitol Police officers and other law enforcement officers barricading them while surrounded by demonstrators until the hallway was clear for them to get out safely; and Whereas the violence and lawlessness we saw on January 6, 2021, were unacceptable, and as a Nation, we must do better: Now, therefore, be it

That the House of Representatives— (1) thanks United States Capitol Police officers and other law enforcement officers for showing professionalism and for their service in keeping Members and staff safe during the events of January 6, 2021; (2) condemns the actions of those who broke through the security of the United States Capitol; and (3) condemns violence and rioting of any kind, by any group or organization.
