re: One Capitol officer was 'more afraid' during Jan 6th than during his Iraq deployment...

Another police officer, Michael Fanone, said he had been grabbed, beaten, electrocuted with a taser, all while being called a traitor. He said: "I was at risk of being stripped of - and killed with - my own firearm." Speaking about how he and his colleagues had been treated since then, he said: "What makes the struggle harder and more painful is to know so many of my fellow citizens, including so many people I put my life at risk to defend, are downplaying or outright denying what happened. "I feel like I went to hell and back to protect them and the people in this room, but too many are telling me that hell doesn't exist or that hell actually wasn't that bad. "The indifference shown to my colleagues is disgraceful."
