The head of the union representing Capitol Police officers said that “many” of them are considering retiring or quitting following the Jan. 6 breach of the Capitol.

“Many officers that are retirement eligible are seriously looking at turning in their retirement papers. Since January 6th, several Officers have retired as a result,” Gus Papathanasiou, chairman of the United States Capitol Police Labor Committee, said in a statement last week.
