The safe option isn’t always the right one. Capitol Police Officers such as Harry Dunn have found themselves in the crosshairs of radical, vindictive fanatics because they gave a truthful account their experiences on Jan. 6. I know a bit about this experience.
By once more proving that Here, Right Matters, Officer Dunn has been subjected to an all too familiar smear campaign that privileges personal aggrandizement and gross negligence above the need for justice and accountability in our democracy.
I have tried my best to offer words of support to anyone facing this dilemma. Your close circle is far more important than any background noise, no matter how heinous. "Focus on the good; don't let the bad get you down, and you'll be fine."usatoday.com/story/news/pol…
Speaking from my own experience, Officer Dunn will face detractors both from the general public and within the ranks of his own profession. He will also continue to face personal trauma stemming from the insurrection. His battle is not over.
We can neither blatantly disregard his words, nor the words of his fellow officers. They have given their all and then some in upholding their oaths and fulfilling their duties, both on Jan. 6 and during their testimony.
The least the US can do to honor Officer Harry Dunn, Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, Officer Michael Fanone, Officer Daniel Hodges, and Officer Brian Sicknick is pursue this investigation and hold the insurrectionists, collaborators, and provocateurs to account.
