U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards said in a new op-ed that it “physically hurts” to talk about the Capitol riot, adding that the House Jan. 6 select committee issuing its report this week represents “nothing final.”

Edwards, who was injured in the attack last year and testified publicly this summer before the House panel, said in The New York Times that it could take years for her and other officers to find peace after being traumatized during the rioting.

“Many Americans think that the saga of the Capitol riot will soon be at its end,” Edwards said in the op-ed.

“For two years, this country has endured an impeachment, lawsuits, criminal investigations, congressional hearings, televised theater,” she continued. “And this week, Congress will release its final report. But there is nothing final about this moment. A funeral doesn’t put an end to your grief. The trauma cannot be bookended by paperwork. These scars cannot be masked with fine print, debated in committee.”

“ physically hurts” to talk about the Capitol riot,”

So how about the hundreds of attacks on law enforcement by BLM rioters?

“ physically hurts” to talk about the Capitol riot,”

How about the Dem rioters who attacked the Wisconsin state Capitol ?

...it “physically hurts” to talk about the Capitol riot...

I'd imagine that it physically hurts a lot more to suffer a fatal bullet wound to the neck.

what hurts is the narrative is falling apart and this is the real reason for the rally on Jan 6th

THIS is a professional peace officer?

Interview some police in Seattle, Portland, Minneapolis, Detroit, Chicago or Louisville KY. Information for the ignorant, there is a thing called “The John Brown Gun Club” where black and antifa are training as a military force. they spent a few years on the streets honing their tactical skills, using real time communication and drones. Get back to me when the PTB get a handle on a REAL revolutionary movement.

Classic example of using weaponized victimhood to curry favor. This is what leftists do.

Thanks. We had great relations with law enforcement, as you know. No favors were given us but they knew which way to face when threats arose (backs to us, facing the violent Left).

I don't doubt the violence was instigated by provocateurs. But I know we have hot heads on our side. I would post advisories to them not to attend certain actions that were likely to be very contentious to avoid the chance of confrontations spinning out of control.

Some hot heads attended J6 and got out of control but the spark was the provocateurs at the snow fence who attacked the female officer.

Tell her to complain to Pelosi then,she was responsible for not providing security at the Capitol that was requested by President Trump 4 days before the mess

What an asshat. Even the guards I worked with who were hostages at Attica during the riot in 1971 talked about that time without choking up, or a tear in their eye. What a pussy.

"...it could take years for her and other officers to find peace after being traumatized during the rioting."

I fought in combat in Vietnam where I saw U.S. Army personnal badly wounded and injured by incoming mortar fire. I was wounded there and spilled my blood, BUT, I don’t spend the day “being physically hurt talking about my experiences there, even though I deal daily with my injuries there. So, get a grip cop.
