Capitol cop Michael Fanone slams table at Jan 6 hearing as tearful colleagues condemn 'terrorist' rioters who wanted to 'execute them' during 'medieval battle'
daily mail ^

U.S. Capitol cops and DC Metropolitan Police officers called rioters 'terrorists', attacked Republicans who have downplayed January 6 and recalled the 'medieval battle' they faced during the first hearing of the select committee on Tuesday.

Officers Harry Dunn, Aquilino Gonell, Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges gave harrowing testimony to the panel of seven Democrats and two Republicans - Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger - describing how they feared the rioters would kill them and criticized the treatment of their colleagues.

They also told the panel how they were confronted by people waving MAGA flags, Trump supporters saying President Biden didn't win the election, and others racially abusing them.

Dunn said he was called the n-word more than a dozen times and one rioter said: 'This n***er voted for Biden.'

Officer Hodges said: 'To my perpetual confusion, I saw the thin blue line flag, the symbol of support for law enforcement, more than once being carried by the terrorists as they ignored our demands and continued to assault us.'

In his testimony, Gonell recounted how the 'rioters call me traitor

'The rioters were vicious and relentless. We found ourselves in a violent battle,' he said of that day.

He described his experience 'like something from a medieval battle. We fought hand to hand, inch by inch, to prevent an invasion of the Capitol by the mob intend on subverting our democracy

A nation torn to shreds by a bunch of self-serving idiots.

No wonder this nation is on the precipice.

Get a clue, Officer. Who benefited most by all these crises?

Who orchestrated the ‘open doors’ set-up plan?

"We fought hand to hand, inch by inch, to prevent an invasion of the Capitol by the mob intend on subverting our democracy."

That just reeks of being scripted. It sounds like something like an aide to Pelosi or Schiff would have written.

“Really? Where’s the footage of this. There were cameras everywhere.”

We still don’t have any footage, of who opened the doors to the Capitol Building.

We see footage of cops removing barricades outside the Capitol.

We have footage of protesters at the bottom of the steps, with 4-5 cops guarding the door.

Next scene protesters are entering the building.

Did they break the door down? Or Did Pelosi unlock it for them?

When the shit hits the fan most of the blue will work diligently for whomever pays them. When you are in the bottom and fighting the police will most likely arrest you and not the paymasters.

" . . . showing Trump’s supporters over running the building and attacking police officers. Filled with shouting obscenities, the video showed the rioters throwing objects and gas canisters at police officers, screaming and shouting as they broke the Capitol’s windows to breach the building...”

They could show similar footage of BLM rioters doing pretty much the same thing, not just once, but over and over in numerous cities. But THEN, the Dems and the media always portrayed the cops as the bad guys. This is the ONLY riot in which the left has tried to make the cops the heroes.

I must ask. If this was an attempt to overthrow the U.S. government by violent Right Wing extremists (who as we know never let their assault weapons out of reach)who ran roughshod over the hallowed halls of the Capitol battling our brave boys in blue, where are the dead?

Really, where are the bodies? The films of EMT staging a response to a mass casualty event? Maybe a still photo of medical supplies on the ready? Anything???

They were engaged in a fierce battle for name calling? Oh my, the horrors!

Funny how cops stand there and take verbal abuse all day long when blm is screaming and spitting In their faces, nose to nose, even allowing blm to push and shove, but when. It comes to antifa posing as Trump supporters doing the name callinat an event inspired and coordinated by the fbi and liberals before it even took place, the cops there fall all to peices and claim It was a ‘battle of epic proportions’ and cry about fearing for their lives all because some peol,people, said mean things about them

/\

Cuz, it deserves repeating.

Those were exactly Pelosi’s very words.....”subverting our Democracy”....and we’ll hear that drumbeat throughout this hearing and news will certainly carry that tune. It’s propaganda rather than seeking truth. And it’s purpose is to deceive and create doubt.

These guys are basically mall cops who also man security checkpoints. When they had to be real cops they panicked and didn't know what to do. And their "leadership" ran for cover.

So, they're blaming Trump and MAGA people. Does this putz know Pelosi will probably not be his boss come January 2023?

Oh, it’s way more than that.

They need a genuine violent reaction,

Cuz the whole world sees and knows there was no one armed, except those in authority

And thus

There was no insurrection.

And with what were the “rioters who wanted to ‘execute them’ during ‘medieval battle’ “ going to use for weapons???

The purpose the “hearings”??

The purpose of the “hearings” is the massive Dim chosen and engineered exaggerated hyperbole to fit a false narrative that manufactures an “insurrection” out of a protest with small riot.
