Five years after the Capitol attack, most of the officers injured that day have never widely shared their experience. I had to call my mom and just let her know, like, “I don’t know how this is gonna play out. I have co-workers that were there with me that day and helped to secure the Capitol that still love Donald Trump. I don’t always understand how you can call yourself my friend and still love this guy who you don’t know. I don’t know how anybody can say that they’re pro-law enforcement and pro-justice if you don’t let the justice system do its job.
