Off-duty police were part of the Capitol mob – The Washington Post

at least 13 officers are under investigation for possible participation in the rioting, as well more than a dozen Capitol Police officers who may have assisted the mob that seized the Capitol.

The officers — and at least one police chief — came from tiny departments with less than a handful of officers to large agencies with thousands on their force.

union leaders said they are shocked by how some of their members appeared to cross the line at the Capitol. They also said officers who breached the Capitol should not expect their unions’ support in their legal battles.

“We took an oath to protect the constitution and the rule of law,” said Patrick Yoes, national president of the Fraternal Order of Police. “When people decide they are going to violate that — they are alone.”

Baeza, 2017

La capitolul orașe cu decor de film, vă recomand andaluzul Baeza, care s-a remarcat prin ambițiile sale încă de pe vremea când era capitala unei mici regiuni stăpânite de mauri. Acum este o localitate trufașă din Patrimoniul UNESCO, remarcabilă prin fidelitatea desăvârșită a renovărilor.

Perioada sa de maximă strălucire a fost în secolele 16-17, la patru sute de ani după recucerirea spaniolă, când orașul devine un punct de atracție cultural pentru oamenii luminați ai acelor timpuri.

Considerat o bijuterie a Renașterii, m-a fermecat nuanța galben-aurie a pietrei, stralucitoare in lumina soarelui. Era ca și cum vacanța îți urează bun-venit !
