Public goodwill and perception. It's purely a game of theater, to pretend care about the cops, to try and get the public further turned against conservatives.
In order to try and nail someone to the wall in the eyes of the public, you can use martyrs and heroes. So the dems, lacking any actual heroes in this, are propping up the cops because they are supposed to act to protect capital hill (even though most offered nothing more than limp wristed 'nooooo, please don't' to the magas). They even acted like the one cop who died after the riot had heroically died fighting for the building, when he actually just died of perfectly natural causes at home.
That's to say nothing of the massive budget increase for capital police, or having the body of the one killed in service when someone rammed the barricade lie in the rotunda. It's all a show for the public.
