I think this bill to raise the retirement age for Capitol Police is a bad idea. It will make it harder for older officers to keep up with the physical demands of the job. It's not fair to ask them to work longer when they already put their lives on the line every day.

I can't believe they want to make the Capitol Police work longer before they can retire. It's not fair to them. I don't like this bill at all. It's not right. #disagree #CapitolPolice #retirementage
