Sharing a private moment

Tim thinks the woman on the right is Yogananda Pittman, the newly installed acting chief of the US Capitol Police, because he had noticed at the time that she had more brass on her epaulettes than any other of the assembled officers.

We went down to the Capitol today because I wanted a picture of it through the huge fence that's been erected all around it. I did get a few of those on drive-by, but then we decided to park the car and see what was going on there because the road in front of it was literally packed with police officers and vehicles. It turned out that the Capitol Police were there in force to attend the funeral procession of USCP Officer Brian Sicknick, who died of injuries sustained during the seditious attack on the US Capitol on January 6 after he was reportedly hit in the head with a fire extinguisher. His death was a tragedy, and I'm glad we were there to pay our respects as his hearse passed by.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly
unsharp.

She has nicely painted nails too. Our law officers need respect and support!

Lovely to see the camaraderie. And to see such a hairdo on a police officer!
