Capitol Police Officer Recalls Rioters Racially Abusing Black Officers & Hurling N-Word

Shocking testimony from Capitol police officers serving the Capitol building during the January 6 riots has aired, revealing racist abuse, and sadistic threats all in the name of Donald Trump.

Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn revealed that the Trump fanatics who stormed the Capitol yelled “F*cking N***er” and questioned his voting rights to Joe Biden.

The uncensored broadcast followed hearings before the House Select Committee, where Officer Dunn described what he experienced during that day, and what fellow black officers had to deal with.

“More and more insurrectionists were pouring into the area by the Speaker’s Lobby near the rotunda. And some wearing MAGA hats and shirts that said Trump 2020. I told them to just leave the Capitol, and in response they yelled “No man, this is our house. President Trump invited us here. We are here to stop the steal. Joe Biden is not the president. Nobody voted for Joe Biden!”

“I’m a law enforcement officer, and I do my best to keep politics out of my job, but in this circumstance I responded “Well I voted for Joe Biden. Does my vote not count? Am I nobody?”

“That prompted a torrent of racial epithets. One woman in a pink MAGA shirt yelled “You hear that guys? This n***er voted for Joe Biden!”

“Then the crowd, perhaps around 20 people, joined in the screaming “Boo! Fucking n***er!” No one had ever ever called me a n***er while wearing the uniform of capital police officer.”

Dunn also shared what other officers told him about that horrific day,

“In the days following the attempted insurrection, other Black officers shared with me their own stories of racial abuse on January 6th. One officer told me he had never in his entire 40 years of life been called a n***er to his face. And that streak ended on January 6th,” he continued.

“Yet another Black officer later told me he had been confronted by insurrectionists in the Capitol who told him “Put your gun down and we’ll show you what kind of n***er you really are.”

Per reports, Officer Harry Dunn has suffered PTSD and other issues stemming from the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
