Nearly 8 months after the attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, DC, it’s important to remember what police officers endured while defending our democracy.
One of them was attacked with a flagpole and sprayed with a chemical.
Another heard someone say, “Kill him with his own gun,” before he was dragged into the crowd, beaten unconscious and repeatedly shocked with his own Taser.
A third was verbally pelted with racial slurs over and over before he was assaulted.
A fourth was crushed in a door, bashed in the head, and nearly lost an eye.
