"What were you fighting for?" Officer Hodges: "Democracy and the future of this country"

This is one of the most emotional hearings I've ever watched. I was teary -eyed through Officer Fanone's , Gonell's, and Hodge's testimonies and lost it when Officer Harry Dunn testified Trump supporters called him a fucking n-word. (because Blue Lives Matter! unless they're Black)

This hearing is really laying out the despicability of Trump supporters .


Bravo to all these heroes!

Attacked over and over again by our fellow countrymen.

Domestic Terrorists, every single one of them. None were swept up, they came with a goal and men like these stop them from achieving that goal.
