chris brice very much. that s all in on this tuesday night. alex wagner starts tonight. good evening. alex wagner starts as a fellow browi feel the same way. unfortunately, so much death and destruction becomes abstract and when there is some sort of foothold you have into your own reality i think it makes at once both and easier to be involved in the story. i m with you on that front. thank. you have a good night. thanks to you at home for joining me tonight. approximately 140 police officers were injured on january 6th when a violent mob stormed the capitol. one of those officers was gems glancing jing, a 17 year veteran of the capitol police. this is how mr. blossoming described that data pbs news hour. you just hear just noise and people running at me as far as i can see. from the crypt to the north side center side of the capital just running after us. as bad as it looks on filled, believe me it was much worse. they can stitch to mega together as much footage as

Our invocation will be given by dr. George w. C. Lions. He was pastor here in petersburg. Pray with me in your own tradition as i pray loud in mine.

We acknowledge your reconciling presence always at work. Even through battles. Which has brought women and men together from all walks of life from every station and culture. 150 years later in harmony as community. Out of this place of sorrow, make this day a celebration. A celebration of the community of humanity. Our plea remains and all feelings of sexual strife be entirely forgotten and blotted out. In the name of the one who is our ever lasting fortress and peace, amen. Were very fortunate this morning. Weve worked very hard not only is National Park service unit but weve also worked with the u. S. Postal service this morning to make this event
