Protesters gather at Rocky Mount Police Department after two officers placed on leave for being at Capitol riot

The Rocky Mount Police Department on Sunday said it notified federal authorities that two of its off-duty officers were present during Wednesday’s riot at the U.S. Capitol.

As news of the officers’ involvement spread, about a dozen members of Black Lives Matter of Franklin County gathered Sunday outside the department’s building on North Main Street.

“We came out to let them know enough is enough, and they have to all be held accountable for the two officers’ actions this past Wednesday,” said Bridgette Craighead, chapter president. “Nobody has ever challenged them before. We want to know what’s going on in our courthouse and the police departments—behind closed doors — I want to know all of that. We want to know all of that.”

The police department said the officers have been placed on administrative leave pending reviews.

4. I wondered when I saw the headline who was protesting what.

It became clear as I read the story.

I think every government service or agency who has staff that participated in the coup attempt needs to feel public pressure to vet employees better.

3. Cops are part of killing cops?

We are deep in trump land now. Good time for Police to sweep out the trash. We know who they are now.
