Racial discrimination Since 2001, more than 250 Black officers have sued the Capitol Police over allegations of racism. After the 2021 storming of the Capitol by a pro-Trump mob, several Capitol police were suspended for possible complicity with the insurrectionists. Even though Washington, D.C. is 46% Black, only 29% of the Capitol Police is. This is in contrast to the Metropolitan Police Department (for D.C.), which is 52% Black.

Two other officers were also suspended in January 2021. Six Capitol Police officers were suspended and 29 more were being investigated in February 2021.
