On CNN, DC Police Officer Mike Fanone said it’s a miracle that there wasn’t a higher body count on Jan. 6, and that he’d only seen combat that brutal on a mass scale in the movies.

Fanone said he’d like prosecutors to release his body worn camera footage from Jan. 6, saying it would show how violent and brutal rioters were that day.
Fanone’s parting message: January 6 was real, officers nearly lost their lives and are still dealing with emotional trauma and physical injuries.

Fanone said it was “very difficult” to see politicians “whitewash” what happened on Jan. 6, and said he himself was “susceptible” to the Trump administration’s law-and-order rhetoric.
“I want people to understand the significance of January 6, I want people to understand that... thousands of rioters came to the Capitol hellbent on violence and destruction and murder, and that 850 MPD officers responded there and really saved the day.”
