Washington: Members of the US Capitol police to hold a vote of no confidence in the force's leadership this week over its failure to adequately prepare officers for the January 6 insurrection by former US President Donald Trump's supporters.
According to the report, the Capitol Police union's executive board called this week for the no-confidence vote against members of senior leadership.

In a statement, Gus Papathanasiou, the Capitol Police union chairman said,  "The enormity of the multiple leadership failures both in leading up to the insurrection and in the Department's response to it, have convinced us there is no other choice. The leadership has failed us, and we have paid a terrible price." According to the report, more than  140 police officers between the Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police forces were injured. Some officers sustained brain injuries, one is expected to lose an eye and another officer was stabbed with a metal fence stake.

Earlier, in January a group of Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol to protest legislators confirming electoral slates from battleground US states they thought were invalid. Five people died in the riot.
