  • Pardons would send a message that police don't matter, and risk politicizing law enforcement of violent protests, Manger says on eve of the Jan. 6 anniversary.

The U.S. Capitol Police Chief, Thomas Manger, has publicly opposed the idea of pardoning individuals convicted of assaulting police officers during the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. In a letter to the editor published in The Washington Post, Manger criticized former President Donald Trump's suggestion of pardons, arguing that such actions would undermine the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers. He highlighted the severe physical and emotional toll on officers, including injuries and trauma, and stressed that pardoning the offenders would send a message that attacks on police are acceptable, potentially encouraging further violence against law enforcement. Manger's stance reflects a broader concern within the law enforcement community about the implications of such pardons on officer safety and morale.
