share their harrowing January 6 stories for the first time!!
Some of the Capitol Police Officers are finally speaking out about what happened to them On Jan 6th, during the Insurrection encouraged by the rump.!!!
rump should be held accountable and put in jail !!!!
US Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell was beaten with a flagpole. His hand was sliced open. He was hit with so much chemical spray that the liquid soaked through to his skin. During intense hand-to-hand combat with rioters on the west front of the US Capitol on January 6, there were moments where Gonell thought he might die.
"They called us traitors. They beat us. They dragged us," Gonell said, in his first interview about the violence he experienced and witnessed on January 6. "And I could hear them, 'We're going to shoot you. We're going to kill you. You're choosing your paycheck over the country. You're a disgrace. You're a traitor.
'Several hundred feet away that same day, US Capitol Police Officer Byron Evans was inside the locked Senate chamber with 100 senators and Vice President Mike Pence, hand on his weapon and mentally preparing for a life-or-death situation to come through the doors.

I can’t imagine the fear Sgt Gonell went through on that day. He was doing his job and he could have lost his life. I hope justice is served.
