Officer Harry Dunn talking about the scant intel he and other officers received in advance of the January 6th rally at the ellipse. 
Officer Dunn began his testimony by asking for a moment of silence for Officer Brian Sicknick and other officers who died on or after the January 6th attack.
Officer Dunn described men in tactical gear waving Trump flags, and wearing MAGA hats telling him they were invited by Donald Trump. He described a woman yelling “you hear that guys? This f—ng ni—er voted for Joe Biden!” Which was followed by a stream of n-bombs from the MAGA.
Officer Dunn says he had never been called a ni—er while in uniform. He describes fellow Black officers saying they had never been called ni—ers to their face before 1/6/21. One was told by the insurrectionists “put your gun down and we’ll show you what kind of ni—er you are.”
