NPR, July 27, 2021.

As pro-Trump insurrectionists poured into the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, a Black Capitol Police officer passionately testified Tuesday that he faced racist epithets, the likes of which he had never heard while serving in uniform. "You hear that, guys, this n***** voted for Joe Biden!" a woman in a pink MAGA shirt yelled toward Capitol Police Pfc. Harry Dunn, he recounted, after Dunn said he voted for President Biden.

"Boo! F****** n*****!" the crowd of about 20 yelled back, Dunn recalled.

Dunn said his story wasn't unique. He heard from another Black officer that insurrectionists yelled at that officer: "Put your gun down, and we'll show you what kind of n***** you really are!" (Read Dunn's full testimony here. Note that it contains profanity). Dunn said he tries to keep politics out of the job, but in this instance one of the rioters, whom Dunn told to leave the Capitol, said then-President Donald Trump invited them to the Capitol — and that no one voted for Biden.

"Well, I voted for Joe Biden," Dunn told the crowd in front of him. "Does my vote not count? Am I nobody?"

Later that afternoon, after the rioters had cleared, Dunn said he became emotional. Sitting on a bench with a fellow Black officer, he yelled, "'How the [expletive] can something like this happen?! Is this America?' I began sobbing, and officers came over to console me."...

1. "If a hit man is hired and he kills somebody, the hit man goes to jail"

“But not only does the hit man go to jail, but the person who hired them does. There was an attack carried out on Jan. 6, and a hit man sent them. I want you to get to the bottom of that."

2. Those people had mental issues long before, they showed up...

To call that brave officer the “N word” was inappropriate.
But I will also say, that giving someone else, power over you, to in turn, trigger you into feeling sad or angry, is really up to you. The “N word” is just a word after all.

For a supposedly sane person, to take time off work or leave their friends and family in the middle of the week, to not go on an enjoyable vacation, but to take to heart and negativily act upon, an election that was lost, by rioting at the capital, says that maybe your priorities in your life, really aren’t in order.
