Just over two years ago, on Jan. 6, 2021, thousands of Donald Trump's followers attacked the U.S. Capitol as part of his coup attempt aimed. not just at nullifying Joe Biden's victory in the 2020 election but ending multiracial democracy in America.
Vastly outnumbered, lacking reinforcements, failed by their leaders and with limited resources overall, the Capitol Police and other law enforcement officers bravely fought back against Trump's mob. Beyond the physical stress and violence, Black and brown officers were also assaulted by Trump's followers with racial slurs and symbols and acts of white supremacist hatred.
