On January 6th, I was punched in the face knocked on my back, pepper sprayed, and nearly stabbed with a sharpened flag pole as I defended the Capitol from trump’s mob. When I hear “we’re not going back” I think, “we CANNOT go back”

- Three years later, and I am still waiting for justice for what my fellow officers and I endured protecting the Capitol and our democracy on January 6th 2021
- I want Justice for what my fellow officers and I endured while defending democracy on January 6th. One step closer
- As one of the officers assaulted that day, I know that none of these violent offenders should be pardoned ever.Amid the talk of pardons for Jan 6 defendants... including those who assaulted police... It's worth noting: It wasn't just a few people who laid hands on officers As of tonight, more than *530* defendants have been charged with assaulting/resisting police amid the riotous mob
- Replying to @KatiePhangIt's scary how little he cares about ANYONE other than himself.
- Brian lived and died a hero, serving his country and Congress. We must honor his ultimate sacrifice
- Inauguration Day 2021 I stood on the West front, where two weeks prior I was violently assaulted on January 6th as I defended the Capitol. It was my honor to serve, and privilege to protect our democracy
- As one of the hundreds of police officers assaulted on January 6th, I am thankful for VP Harris and will be casting my vote for her. She is the ONLY choice for the most fundamental and important American idea: our own democracy
- I am overwhelmed to see how quick all you online sleuths work. To see new pics of me on Jan 6th that I've never seen before... is just a lot. Thank you to everyone working to ID the J6 criminals and bring justice to me and the Capitol Police
- Today I got my Congressional gold medal and program. Thank you to the @CapitolPolice ! It means so much- I am proud to have protected the Capitol for many years, and that day in particular.
- It’s exhausting having to defend myself and the USCP about January 6th. I wish Tucker and Elon would talk to me or any Capitol police officers before spewing garbage/ cherry picked footage, ignoring all the obvious and unprecedented violence
