The Daily Ardmoreite
Where you stand depends on where you sit is a common idea in government and politics. Sometimes called Miles’ law, it means that an individual’s personal perspective will have a significant impact on how they view issues.
That idea received new validation during the recent select committee investigation into the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
On the first day of the January 6 investigation, police officers who safeguarded the building gave hours of testimony about the harrowing ordeal they faced battling people they described as terrorists, insurrectionists, cultists, white nationalists and racists.
