my office. they were brave and good people who lost their lives defending the capitol of the united states. in my state of maryland and in the fifth district, i work closely with police chiefs, sheriffs, and departments to ensure their needs are being met. and together, we work to make certain that those who have fallen in the line of duty receive the benefits, help, compassion, and appreciation they deserve. every year, until it became virtual -- and now i do it virtually -- i have gone down to the law enforcement officers memorial. 22,611 americans, law enforcement officers have lost their lives keeping the peace. last year, mr. speaker, america lost 295 police officers in the line of duty. it's a dangerous duty, but it is a critical duty. here in the capitol, we remember those who have given their lives to protect this institution. i mentioned officer chestnut and detective gibson. howard, william evans, and, of course, officer sicknick. the actions just laid out are ones that congress, house

let all the offices please know -- officers please know you are making a difference.'re helping people. we the american people appreciate your tireless work. you don't hear it in times of struggle, you don't hear in the times of someone may be protesting, yelling in your face. know that you are loved, respected and appreciated. moment ago i spent the morning with members of the united states capitol police. something i've done quite regularly but in the last you're not as much. i have the privilege of working with these men and women everyday and i can tell you they worked tirelessly to keep us safe every single day. there's members who personally have experienced having a life saved. capitol police officers have given the ultimate sacrifice. many of the members here were laying wreaths to those who are back home, gave the ultimate sacrifice for people they don't even know. but because they wanted to make a difference. we all want to show our gratitude for those who protect our communities each and every day. not just during the national police week, especially think

of the radio transmission, it was a report from the officer, and i would like to quote this officer directly. "1000 hours on january 6, 2021, i swapped my starting time with another officer who starting time was 0800 hours. as i was crossing the street at traffic sis, a radio broadcast was sent out to all outside units. "attention, all units on the field. we are not looking for -- in the crowd, were only looking for anti-pro-trump who wants to start a fight." at that point i started thinking, entire crowd was a threat based on the intelligence. however, i convinced myself that perhaps the mission had changed. the cdo that was scheduled at 1000 hours was supposed to be part of our rotation. however, they were sent to garages around the house. at that point i was convinced the mission was changed and it was not a high-level threat because of the radio call in the decision to patrol the lodges. i was at the east front with officers, a small group, approach one officer and asked them if he wants to talk, because what is happening at the lower west frontiers will happen at the east front

"attention, all units on the field. we are not looking for any pro-trump in the crowd, were -- we are only looking for anti-pro-trump who wants to start a fight." at that point i started thinking about my initial intelligence. the entire crowd was a threat based on the intelligence. the pro-trump's a threat because they are to -- there to stop account. however, i convinced myself that perhaps the mission had changed. the cdo that was scheduled at 1000 hours was supposed to be part of our rotation. however, they were sent to garages around the house division. at that point i was convinced the mission had changed and the threat was not

s office.t office already has an active criminal investigation of trump under way. but now they've been referred something else, they've been given some other piece of it that came out of the civil investigation into trump's business. two prosecutors from the attorney general's office are reportedly moving over to that d.a.'s office instead to help them with that criminal prosecution of whatever it is the ag found. "the washington post" for their part added that the trump organization was given a heads up about this "criminal" term in a written notice late last month, which makes it all the more interesting that the former president himself put out a long, rather unhinged statement reacting with outrage to this news about the criminal investigation. apparently his business was told about it a while ago. according to the "post," the notice suggested that, quote, criminality could apply to action by current and former company executives and employees. of course news of an escalating criminal prob

it's no wonder why many law enforcement officers across the nation -- offices across the nation have low morale and we're seeing the real-world consequences, a decrease in applications to go to academies, early exits and more retirements. it's gotten to danger why you levels in several cities across the country. the commonnization of law enforcement will have lasting consequences and ultimately make all of us less safe. this is why congress must do everything we can to support law enforcement and to stop efforts to demean and demonize them. the best way to do that is recognize that law enforcement, for -- excuse me, recognize law enforcement for their remarkable service and the dangers they face to protect us. that's why i recently reintroduced the protect and serve act. this legislation would make it a federal crime to intentionally assault a law enforcement officer. it ensures prosecutors have every tool available to punish those who attack and target them. in 2018, the protect and serve act passed the house by a vote of 382-35, and it had the support of every current member of the

this is a small private office set up for him and it was meant to model a private office, through thati will show you in a moment, our replica of the johnson oval office but this was a small study he used on occasion that includes a very long couch, very long because johnson often naps, it ended up being a horizontal working area but is long to accommodate his 6-foot three inch range. recently we had the civil rights summit here at the summit library, president carter took a nap on this as well so at least two former presidents have slept on the couch. this is a small desk that president johnson used in the private office, he spent a great deal of time there when he worked as president so a lot of the work of his presidency was done on this desk. president johnson was a major consumer, he monitored it very carefully. those three television sets were set up he could see simultaneously all three major news broadcasts simultaneously. there's a patrol there that allows him to isolate sound on two of the set so he could hear the sound on one of them. this is a time where there were only thr

meet officers of them. if they acted like military, he kept their eye on them, he could find ways to sabotage the american republic but at the same time, this will make him roll over in his gray but there was a real egalitarian street there. did ask answer questions? he said it's great. he liked to sort of ambush cages. in the summertime the guys blend in with the trees and he said get one coat a year and by the time when fall and winter comes in the green is kind of brownish. he did that deliberately. sorry for going on a tangent. thank you. up next on american history tv. a historical museum curator michael grower, describe celebration baseman in u.s. cattle industry. he argues that most major branches were british owned in the 18 eighties. the kansas city public library hosted this event. it's about one hour and ten minutes. >> good evening once again, ladies and gentlemen

she had three other officers there -- he had three other officers there. trial is not expected to kick off until march of 2022. what do justice and accountability look like in their trial? a.g. ellison: because their cases are pending, i am a little nervous about speaking about them because i do not want the jury pool to be tainted. i do not want anybody listening to this broadcast say i saw -- kurt ellison state they were this or that and it must be true. we will hold them accountable for what we believe they are guilty of. i will remind everybody they have a right to be presumed innocent and a right to make me prove them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. beyond that i cannot say much, but i will say the federal charges -- they have been indicted for meaning the federal government leaves they are responsible for violating the human rights of george floyd. they will be accountable and that parallel proceeding as well but they are presumed innocent in both state and federal courts but we intend to prosecute vigorously. >> in the derek chauvin trial there wa

officer, and scared. >>,. >> it says the officer, i'm scared, i'm your brother. i'm scared. we also have another portion of the body cam video after the troopers had pushed greene out of the car. and you'll see mr. greene on the ground here appearing motionless while an officer teases him again. the officer then handcuffed him. mr. greene is clearly bloodied at this point. the officers, part of the reason we can confirm that, is that the officers commenting about the amount of his blood that they've got on them. and the fact that they are wiping it off themselves. >> officer then -- >> get on the ground by! >> taser, taser, taser! [inaudible] >> put your hands behind your back. >> get up here. get your arm! >> but all over. this guy doesn't have aids! >> the ap tonight has posted one of the portion of the video. this portion doesn't have sound. we believe the trooper turned off the microphone on his body. can you can see their ronald greene handcuffed on the ground. the ap reports that later, after several minutes scratch on which ronald greene is not seen on camera, he appe

peace officers in our community.y don't we change the chicago police department so that we see more brown and black faces in the chicago police department at all levels? there's no reason why the city of chicago, one third of the population is white, over half the chicago police officers are white. there disproportionately represented. it is the jobs they, continue to exist and this code of silence which was also demonstrated in the laquan mcdonald order, what we say -- other police officers were indicted for issuing false reports about the murder of laquan mcdonald. amy: the video was held until after rahm emanuel, the former chief of staff president obama and the mayor of chicago, democratic mayor, was reelected. during his speech to congress last week of the joint session of congress, president biden called on lawmakers to pass the george floyd justice in policing act, which would ban please chokeholds and eliminate qualified immunity for officers. it also seeks to ban racial and religious profiling, certain no kn

the dhs also has a dedicated office of civil rights and civil liberties and a privacy office. their role was eliminated. congress should consider ensuring the oversight functions cannot be so easily sidelined in the future. regular audits can help. lastly, we need to pay attention to the enormous amount of information americans contained in dhs databases. former dhs officials have said that this level of information -- raises privacy and due process concerns. this would be an appropriate topic of inquiry for the oversight board in my opinion. thank you for the opportunity. . i look forward to answering any questions you may have. >> thank you for your opening statement. general, in last year's homeland threat assessment, dhs stated that domestic violent extremism, specifically white supremist extremist are the most lethal homeland security threat. that's a finding that both myself and ranking member portman have been saying for some time now. and it's clear that this threat is real and it's clear that we need to combat it. so my question to you is beyond establishing the domes

if a member of this department sees an officer committing violation or even breaking the law that officer a duty to report it. and if they don't report it, the penalties, the repercussions for them are almost as significant as the individual that's committing the violation or the infraction. it is however a long journey easily derailed. and the death of george floyd has damaged attempts for police forces everywhere to repair it links with the people they serve. i think it set law enforcement back across this country. sometimes things are bad on video. this one was bad. and for all the progress that we had made since ferguson, it wiped it out like that. he was the first person i worked with that was shot and killed. he came back to his neighbourhood to make a difference and was murdered. there is a frustration. the public confidence in the police can be smashed in an instant despite some officers making the ultimate sacrifice. and the most recent death? this man. what happened ? he was responding to a call last year and was ambushed and killed. but studies show far more civilians are kille

i am also concerned the ig found aoc's office of chief security officer has been in customer supporte and u.s. cp instead of contributing role involved with communication coordination and cooperation to secure the catholic campus. paper experts in civil engineering readiness, antiterrorism, protection, critical infrastructure, homeland security and law enforcement but they are not even involved in the security major events of the u.s. capitol. the intelligence provided to you but dismissed by u.s. cp. it appears chief security officer within aoc provided intel to the u.s. capitol police social media chatter with violence and weapons to the capitol is possible. these red flags were dismissed by capitol police. i can onlyth help but wonder if the aoc's role on the board was respected and aoc's security officer was repeatedly brought in and consulted before these major events and their concerns, i'm wondering if they would have been more serious in security posture to be different. our job needs to move forward. i believe from these reports and previous hearings is a immediate need to r
