Police officer’s book about horror of Jan. 6 shows seriousness of that day

Editor:

I recently completed twenty-year District of Columbia metropolitan police officer Michael Fanone’s book. “Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop’s Battle for America’s Soul.”

As someone who thinks truth matters, I strongly suspect that anyone who believes the January 6, 2021 attempted storming of the House of Representatives chamber by a violent mob was a lovefest isn’t fully aware of what happened that day.

Joe Biden’s predecessor continues to maintain that Fanone and dozens of others who suffered serious consequences while attempting to keep the certification of Biden as our 46th President orderly and peaceful are at the very least greatly exaggerating. (Fanone was pulled into the mob, viciously beaten and tased until he had a heart attack.)

Those still unable to accept the 2020 election results and the facts about number 45 and January 6th, 2021after reading streetwise cop Fanone’s book may need to take a closer look at this nation, our recent history, the Constitution, and the intent of—and risks taken by—patriots such as the Founding Fathers.

Sincerely,

Gary Kent
