The U.S. Capitol Police union is urging Congress to ramp up security after Friday's knife attack.

"This attack, combined with the violent events of the January 6th insurrection, have left our officers reeling," Union Chairman Gus Papathanasiou said.

Black bunting is displayed at the entrance to the U.S. Capitol Police headquarters, following the death of U.S. Capitol Police Officer William Evans, who was killed on April 2, 2021 in a violent incident at a security checkpoint on the U.S. Capitol grounds, in Washington, U.S., April 4, 2021. Evans was an 18-year veteran of the force and a member of the U.S. Capitol Police first responders unit.

He explained that the union has already met with General Honore, who conducted the review of Capitol security after the Jan. 6 insurrection.

US Capitol Police says threats against members of Congress up 107% compared to 2020US Capitol Police said Friday that there has been a 107% increase in threats against members of Congress this year compared to 2020 and the department is 'confident' the number of cases will continue to increase. Barbaric GOP, going against the representatives of our country Keep the fences up and very secured because these trump fools are dangerous. Where’s the Commission for January 6? Who attacked the Capital? GOP invited but if dragging it go without them! We want investigation & accountability of everyone involved now!! Not good, but maybe if they weren’t working so hard to divide us and were going after China and Russia appropriately they would get some praise. Less BLM more patriotism.
