Striking testimony
My heart went out to the Capitol Police officers who testified (under oath, I might add) about the attempted coup on Jan. 6 at the Capitol. Everything they said verified the videos weâve seen of the violence and hatred unleashed against them by Trump supporters (âPolice tell Jan. 6 stories,â July 29).
And the aftermath â most striking was the testimony of Officer Michael Fanone of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department: âWhat makes the struggle harder and more painful, is to know so many of . the people I put my life at risk to defend are downplaying or outright denying what happened. I went to hell and back to protect them . but too many are now telling me that hell doesnât exist or that hell actually wasnât that bad.
