“Police officers are upholding a system and the criticisms are of the system and not individual police officers.” A cop on theGrio Daily with Michael Harriot? Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn protected the U.S. Capitol and democracy on January 6th, 2021; now, he's on a quest for truth. Officer Dunn shares his recollection of the violence that unfolded during the riot, how it changed him, and the journey he's now on to help others with his new book, “Standing My Ground: A Capitol Police Officer's Fight for Accountability and Good Trouble After January 6th.” The experience changed his feelings about his job, but not his dedication to standing on the front lines.
