Editorial: The Capitol Police have a dire warning for America (via latimesopinion)
One by one, the police officers described to a House select committee on Tuesday the horror they felt as rioters nearly overran our national legislature on Jan. 6, putting the people’s representatives within a few feet of a violent mob.
Officer Daniel Hodges, who was crushed in a doorway by insurrectionists wielding a clear plastic shield, can’t forget the zealotry of rioters who called themselves Christian, with some sporting flags that said: “Jesus is my savior. Trump is my president.”Officer Harry Dunn, who is Black, recalled the racial slurs hurled at him from rioters denouncing Black Lives Matter. “When my blood is red, I’m an American citizen,” Dunn testified. “I’m not a police officer. I’m a peace officer.
A week after the riot, the House impeached Trump for inciting an insurrection, though he was acquitted thanks to Senate Republicans too cowardly to separate their once-great party from the parasitic demagogue who now controls it.
