On Jan. 6, 2021, I was one of the police officers sworn to defend the U.S. Capitol when a mob, incited by a sitting president, attacked democracy itself.

I was in the chamber of the House of Representatives when it was attacked on Jan. 6, 2021, by people who so fervently believed the lie that the election had been stolen that they were willing to break windows, attack law enforcement and demand the hanging of their own vice president. Years later, the images of that brutality – shattered glass and bloodstained floors, young policemen trapped and beaten by a frenzied lynch mob – remain vivid in my mind.
