'Kill him with his own gun' rioters chanted as a DC police officer fought for his lif

Officer Mike Fanone describes for the first time publicly how he self-deployed to the Capitol on Jan. 6 to defend democracy. WASHINGTON — DC Police officer Mike Fanone remembers wondering if his four daughters would be OK without him as he was beaten, tased and suffered a heart attack.


It all happened as he and his fellow police officers and commanders were fighting a pitched battle with rioters in a narrow hallway at the Capitol on Jan. 6.


The Metropolitan Police Department almost never lets its line officers speak publicly to the media, but the new acting chief made an exception to offer a window into the minds of heroes who fought thousands of attackers in defense of democracy.

Fanone’s been working plainclothes for a decade and could have spent the riot waiting at his desk. But he and his police/duck hunting partner Jimmy Albright self-deployed to the Capitol.

"I said, ‘We’re going to go. Suit up,’ he told Albright as soon as he got to the office on that horrible day.

The 40-year-old hadn't taken his uniform or riot gear out of the plastic bags that were issued to him a decade ago. After he put the equipment on, a friend had to tell him to pull off the price tags.

You're posting this in a forum filled with people who think the rioters were fighting for a just cause, but just got a little out of hand and that the attack last week was no big deal. These people are morally reprehensible, and I've concluded that it really is not worth "debating" this stuff with them.

pitched battle……..what a joke. Drama serves you poorly.
How many cops have been fighting for their lives trying to stop the rioters and rapist in Portland, Seattle, et al...……
Some were beaten near to death, some were set on fire, some were fired on.
Where's your self-righteous attitude for them?
Oh, those weren't war zones, so they don't count...…………..

No, that sort of violence is condemnable and quite a few of us have said so. Will you say the same for the violence of the left since last May?

I wouldn't be surprised if they were antifa/blm radicals who infiltrated and agitated the crowd. Like John Sullivan. That is how false flag operations work.

And then there are the fabulists posting this sort of bullshlt. It is not possible to have a reasoned discussion of this topic in a forum filled with people who refuse to acknowledge reality. Any discussion of what happened last week has to start with an acknowledgment that (1) the narrative that drove the riot, that Trump was cheated out of an election win, is complete and utter fiction, and (2) the people who violently attacked Congress were Trump supporters who were provoked to do so by Trump and his team.

Trump told them to protest peacefully. Things, in instances, got out of hand.

If true that is absolutely wrong and should lead to arrest and prosecution, regardless of the political idealogies of those who did tjis to him. Sadly, not a common statement this past year!
