I defended the Capitol from Trump’s mob. I know he’s an insurrectionist.

When I received my acceptance letter almost a decade ago to the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington D.C., my imagination raced with the intense, life-or-death scenarios I would be confronted with on a regular basis in order to protect and serve the citizens of our nation’s capital.

But even while contemplating such scenarios, I never imagined what I experienced on Jan. 6, 2021, or that I would be one of a few dozen officers standing in between former President Donald Trump’s fascist dreams and American democracy. The attack on the Capitol, perpetuated by a mob commanded by Trump, was and still is an existential threat to both my city and the country at large.

The world looked on in horror as thousands of Trump’s most loyal followers overran police barricades, stripped law enforcement officers of our equipment and savagely beat us. They looked us in the eyes and called us — the ones protecting the Capitol — traitors.

You need to get out more Daniel. Your ego makes you sound like an jerk off.

[lp boonie]

Sounds like a narcissistic pussy.

[SgtHooper]

Another low-brow rimnod!

[William of Barsoom]

...among the most over-blown melodrama I’ve ever seen.

He was pre-disposed to High Drama...

[Telepathic Intruder]

And yet all the videos shows peaceful assembling. If they had anything else they would show it.

[NWFree]

And Russia was behind all of it right? And Trump colluded with fake Russians to pee on their beds

[Magnum44]

Needs a barf alert...

[Scott from the Left Coast]

Oooh…I bet he gets his gold SS pin.

[eyeamok]

Sounds like he wrote this while sitting on his mommies lap crying about how nobody likes him...

[Pox]

A typical commie cockroach hyperbolist. Trotting out these losers to make their canned comments is only useful for getting the dem party faithful to rally around their core.

I don't understand why their side believes they can convince anyone to not vote for President Trump with their hyperventilating, but I suppose there are a few Karen's out there who may actually be stupid enough to believe this nonsense.

[lastchance]

Edwin Booth is crying in heaven that such dramatic expression was never his.

[IYAS9YAS]

You stood up to hundreds of thousands of tourists? Good for you. Bless your heart.

[Deo volente]

This is from the Bee, right?

But seriously, that was the worst insurrection ever. The mob left their guns at home. The cop who killed the unarmed Ashley Babbitt brought his however.

[Eternally-Optimistic]

how much did you get paid to write this????

[Chgogal]

Another Obama/Biden StormTrooper speaks. Jawohl, Mein Fuhrer!

[moonhawk]

How did you feel when the lefties tried to burn the town down because they didn;t like the outcome of the previous election?

Did THAT feel like an inurrection?

Well...? did it...? Huh...?

[Skywise]

So what were you doing all summer of love 2020 when senators and representatives were _actually_ attacked and churches at the capital were being burned… Daniel?

That sounds an awful lot more like an insurrection than what happened in Jan 6th

[bray]

Too bad Pelosi didn’t allow for the 10,000 National Guard like Trump requested.

[AppyPappy]

Was he one of the guides leading the tour that day?

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

And the cops that beat the unarmed Rosanne Boyland to death as she lay on the group brought their clubs.

They seemed to have a special hard on for killing women at the "capo police"
