During the Capitol breach, I heard rioters shouting for Trump and witnessed officers in pain. I was being crushed and struggling for oxygen, thinking I might die defending the entrance. Rioters were stripping shields from officers, but I had one and stayed at the front. My family was desperately trying to reach me, and I finally let them know I was alive after giving CPR to a rioter. I arrived home at 4 AM, unable to hug my wife due to the chemicals on my uniform. Despite exhaustion and injuries, I returned to work for 15 consecutive days. Even now, over 6 months later, I'm still recovering, along with other officers.

I was asked about my attire on January 6th. I had to wear disguises to protect myself after being assaulted in November. I witnessed violence against press members and felt compelled to document it. I showed my press card to avoid any trouble. I was not a Trump supporter, but I stood up for the press. I was not present at the Capitol on January 6th, but I saw a fellow journalist being attacked. I was alone and felt intimidated, but I stood my ground. It was a challenging situation, but I remained committed to my work.

I was fired for supporting Trump after defending a man shot at a rally. My boss, a Mexican American, insulted the victim and I stood up for him. He accused me of being what's wrong with the country and kicked me out. Now I'm unsure about my future.

At Pride, someone was being homophobic and laughing at a liberation fight. I confronted him, telling him he shouldn't be there. I mentioned that he's not on the right side, and then they started hating on me. I only said a few words before they attacked him. My name is Sonny. Did you see that? They snuck up on him.

A woman in a pink MAGA shirt shouted that a person had voted for Joe Biden, using a racial slur. The small crowd of about 20 people joined in, yelling derogatory remarks. This was the first time I had ever been called such a derogatory term while wearing my Capitol police officer uniform.

A woman named Elizabeth from Knoxville, Tennessee, was maced while trying to enter the hospital during the storming of the Capitol. When asked why she wanted to go inside, she replied that it was a revolution.

On January 6, 2021, I, Inspector Thomas Lloyd, signaled the less lethal team to engage election theft protesters. The team fired on the crowd without warning, knocking a man's hat off and then shooting another protester in the head. The protesters were not rioting. I continued to watch as another man was shot in the face. Moments later, a single shot hit a fourth, fifth, and sixth protester in the head, with fragments affecting those nearby. Then, Joshua Black became the seventh person shot in the head without warning; the projectile lodged in his cheek, leaving a scar. I observed everything. The weapon being used clearly had a warning sticker stating not to aim at the head due to the risk of blindness and death.

It's crucial for everyone to forget what was said that day. A call was made to march to the Capitol to peacefully express voices, but it escalated into a violent siege. Congresswoman Jamie Herrera Beutler highlighted the severity of the situation, noting that a Capitol police officer was killed by the mob, which also defaced symbols of freedom. The rioters were actively searching for the vice president and the speaker of the house.

I was at the Capitol that morning and then went into a meeting. I was advised to leave and taken to a secure location with my husband. We watched the events unfold in horror.

I was waiting for Trump when I saw a person on a building and told officers. Shots rang out, and I helped someone with a child escape before leaving.

I've been through a roller coaster of emotions since January 6th. Some days are better than others. It's tough to see people downplay what happened that day. I experienced brutal combat and felt like I was going to die. It was overwhelming. 850 MPD officers and others risked their lives to protect the Capitol. The bravery displayed that day was nothing short of miraculous.

I want to remind Americans of the violence unleashed by Donald Trump on January 6, 2021. As a former DC police officer, I responded to distress calls from fellow officers as a mob of Trump supporters violently assaulted law enforcement. I was brutally attacked, pulled from the police line, beaten, and had my badge and radio stripped away. I was also tased by a Trump supporter. These individuals, who admitted their support for Trump, represent the hundreds of officers assaulted that day. The lies about the 2020 election continue to inspire division and violence against fellow Americans and law enforcement. This election is about Trump’s vision for the presidency, serving only himself rather than the people. Thank you.

The speaker learned about the Capitol riot on January 6th and was disgusted and afraid. They were afraid of what the rioters might do and that they would not face consequences. The speaker is proud to have joined the effort to hold them accountable. The Justice Department charged over 1,500 people with crimes and obtained convictions against almost 1,300. The speaker states that they ensured the rioters would face accountability and created a public record of the crimes committed that day.

"That was so crazy about that incident is not even that it happened, but that it happened on the Capitol Steps right in front of a Capitol police officer." "And he wasn't even asked to take a step back." "And it just like I really just can't help but think about all of that footage and evidence that we saw the day of all these Capitol Police officers helping and being sympathetic to the insurrectionists on January 6." "But if you raise questions about that or if you don't feel safe, it's construed as you attacking the entire institution of public safety." "And we saw a lot of that show up not just in our politics now but even the State of the Union because now both parties are in a contest of how much money they can shovel in the system without critically holding any of it accountable."

That incident happened on the Capitol Steps in front of a Capitol police officer. He was engaged in sexually threatening aggressive behavior in front on the Capitol Steps, and he wasn't even asked to step back. This officer was just cool with it. There was footage of Capitol Police officers helping and being sympathetic to the insurrectionists on January 6, and everyone decided it was too politically difficult to deal with, brushing it under the rug. To this day, there has never been an investigation into that. Never. As a result, we have no idea which officers are safe around, and whether those with massive weapons were with that crowd or not. If you raise questions about that, it's construed as attacking the entire institution of public safety. Riddle me that. We saw that in the State of the Union too, with both parties shoveling money in without accountability.

On January 6th, I was in the House chamber when Ashley Babbitt was shot and killed by Lieutenant Byrd. She was seen as a threat, but it's unclear what her intentions were. Byrd yelled for her to stop, but she didn't listen. If this had happened during the 2020 riots, Byrd would have been indicted quickly. The events of January 6th were driven by lies.

On this day, my role was as a capital police officer. I'm Harry Dunn. I swore an oath to protect our constitution, to protect our democracy. It's what allowed me to protect some members Congress who I knew were bigots. I put country above self. The problem is a lot of them didn't. Some who stood behind us when we protected them went back on the floor of congress and stood behind Trump. They voted to acquit him. And worst of all, they denied the violence and trauma that led to the death of some of my fellow officers. I couldn't stand by and watch. I left the force after more than fifteen years of service. So that today, I can announce I'm running for congress. We can't ever let this happen again. We've got a democracy to protect.

A congress member shared an experience of being confronted by people with racist attitudes in public. The individuals did not directly make racist remarks but expressed disapproval of the member's statements or positions. It was implied that the confrontations were racially motivated, as the member believed they would not have occurred if they were not black. Another person agreed, suggesting that the individuals felt emboldened to act in a disrespectful manner because of the member's race.

A woman in a pink MAGA shirt pointed out that a Capitol Police officer had voted for Joe Biden, leading a small crowd to yell racist slurs at him. The officer expressed shock at being called a racial slur while in uniform.

Sergeant Aquilino Ganell, a United States Capitol Police officer, recounts his experience during the January 6th insurrection. He describes being called a traitor, which deeply affected him as someone who serves his country. Ganell fought against the rioters, enduring injuries and fearing for his life. He witnessed the brutality inflicted on his fellow officers and was determined to protect the Capitol. The video highlights the emotional toll on Ganell and Officer Byron Evans, who evacuated senators and watched the riot unfold on TV. Despite the trauma, they returned to work shortly after. Ganell expresses his disappointment in the lack of support from the country he loves and sacrificed for.

I was arrested for a potential hate crime after allegedly assaulting two Donald Trump supporters. I approached one woman to ask why she was voting for Trump because she seemed proud. The woman said she was shocked by my presence and claimed it was because of her skin color. I shoved her, and she told me not to touch her. I then put my hand to her chin. When her friend stepped in, I punched her, connecting with her jaw. The two women are physically okay, but shaken. Police say I showed no remorse. I believe both sides of the political spectrum have valid points and we need to come together. A judge found probable cause for a hate crime offense and two counts of fourth-degree assault and prosecutors have a day to make a charging decision.

During the Capitol incident, a law enforcement officer recounts being attacked and called a traitor. Another person claims that the officer was actually an FBI plant, not in uniform, and carrying a Confederate flag. They believe the narrative is unraveling and demand the release of FBI files to reveal the true culprits.

We were federal prosecutors on the Justice Department's Capitol attack investigation until the Trump administration fired us on January 31st. Why were we fired? Because we did our job. We followed the facts and the law. What we did was justice for 140 police officers wounded on January 6th, 2021. We were hired to prosecute cases from the riot, and none of our defendants were acquitted, which shows the evidence was overwhelming. But last month, the president pardoned even the most violent convicts, calling them "hostages." Letters of termination hit the Justice Department, calling the prosecution itself a grave national injustice. Anyone who has watched videos of January 6th knows that prosecuting the rioters was not the injustice. The injustice has been the Department of Justice turning its back on law enforcement officers, members of Congress, and all the victims affected.

There was a lot of hate and it happened. We let it happen. The cops got involved and one of them stood on a guy. It was a chaotic situation.

Hi, Patrice. It's Doctor Tammy and nurse Melissa. We just stormed the Capitol, and it was wild. When we got in, they started breaking windows before letting us in. We were hit with what felt like pepper spray and possibly tear gas, which was quite an experience. Afterward, we were congested and our eyes were burning, but we felt it was important to be there, especially compared to what our founding fathers faced. God bless America. Joe Biden did not win. He's definitely going to Germany. God bless America.
