I'm assuming the Capitol PD has their own version of "MoH"?
EDIT: OP's headline purposfully misworded to engage in distribution of rage porn. "Medals struck pursuant to this Act are national medals for the purposes of chapter 51 of title 31, United States Code." "(b) Design And Striking.—For the purposes of the award referred to in subsection (a), the Secretary of the Treasury (hereafter in this Act referred to as the “Secretary”) shall strike gold medals with suitable emblems, devices, and inscriptions, to be determined by the Secretary (of the Treasury)." |

That shits on every veteran that has legitimately earned a MOH
|
|
To be clear, this is the Congressional Gold Medal per other articles, not THE MoH (which they wouldn't be eligible for anyway.)
Not that it still not |
|
wow. thats fucking horrible.
Way to water down the meaning of Americas most honored award. |
|
Insurrection.
Jesus, shows you how much faith they have in the Capitol police and the people, they think a couple dozen unarmed folks can take over the federal government. I have never been more embarrassed by my country. |

Read the article, googled it, and I still can't tell if this is a medal of honor or THE medal of honor...
|
|
It's also a slap in the face to all of the LEO's who faced real violence and malice while protecting the Federal Courthouse and other buildings in Portland and other cities last year.

Is it a different one or are the Generals/Admirals that go to Capitol Hill going to salute the cops at the door?
|

But the 100,000 real police officers who had molotov cocktails, bottles, and bricks thrown at them all summer are scum bags because they are racist?

Did any of the feds who got cans of creamed corn bounced off their heads by Antifa get a medal?
|
|
Sure why not. Police chiefs are 6 star generals. Might as well give the rank and file MoHs and silver stars and all kinds of ribbons and flair.

While introducing the legislation, Klobuchar said children of the future will be able to walk by and see the medals in the Smithsonian, and their parents will tell them: "This happened, this attack happened." |

So all the capital police are getting participation medals? That's so... unsurprising.

With street police dying all over the country, NFG by the congress, the real message here is "our lives are more important than yours, and always will be."
Actually that's not true, no politicians life was endangered, and I'm sure they're well aware of that fact...this is more theater. Shameful, gutter level tripe from people with no honor or principle. |

The medals weren't awarded for bravery on 1/6. They were awarded for their service to The Narrative in Nancy's kangaroo court.
|
|
Putting a list of their names out in public would be a mistake.
|
|
Those poor cops were so traumatized that their arkancide rate has gone up almost 10x's above the national average these last 7 months.
|
|
Quoted: Like they won't draw parallels between the two when awarding them View Quote If not intentionally and willfully confusing and equating the awards. Almost impossible to define the valor/service divide and award criteria for the Bronze Star to non-mil members here, and most of them have some interest or reading background on it. |
|
If they wait a month or two they won't need that many if the rate of them killing themselves continue
|

An effort to reduce suicides. "Hey look, your actions were justified and courageous, have a medal!"
