He said: "On 6 January, for the first time, I was more afraid to work at the Capitol than during my entire army deployment to Iraq."
quote:

He told the representatives: "In Iraq we expected armed violence, because we were in a war zone. But nothing in my experience in the army or as a law enforcement officer prepared me for what we confronted on 6 January."
quote:

He suffered injuries to hands, left shoulder, left calf and right foot. The foot injury has required surgery and he will need further surgery on his shoulder, and has been on medical and administrative leave for six months.

"For most people, 6 January happened for a few hours that day, but for those of us who were in the thick of it, it has not ended.

"That day continues to be a constant trauma for us literally every day, whether because of our physical or emotional injuries, or both."

I caught some of the highlights.

Shameful pandering from those weak officers.

They should turn in their badges and resign.

It was worse than the holocaust, 9/11, the black plague, and smallpox to the native Americans combined!

I would be scared too if it were my job to defend people who had stolen an election.

If I were a congressman... I'd be more worried that is what's protecting me, than scared of protesters.

This is embarrassing. We’re the laughing stock of the world right now.

Damn... with people like this guarding them, I'd be scared shitless if I was a Congressman. When the time comes for bloodshed, it won't even be a challenge.

Who are these bitch arse cops they found to say this crap? How does anyone believe that

These guys siding with the group of people that cheered on the summer of riots that actually hurt hundreds of cops is amazing to watch

Total hyperbolic bs in the vain of,” worse than 9-11!”

I bet Jocko Willink will echo this guy's sentiment.
Iraq deployment was nothing compared to this.
The only thing that is probably worse is last summer during...never mind.
