Capitol Police officer says it ‘physically hurts’ to talk about Jan. 6

U.S. Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards said in a new op-ed that it “physically hurts” to talk about the Capitol riot, adding that the House Jan. 6 select committee issuing its report this week represents “nothing final.”

Edwards, who was injured in the attack last year and testified publicly this summer before the House panel, said in The New York Times that it could take years for her and other officers to find peace after being traumatized during the rioting.

“Many Americans think that the saga of the Capitol riot will soon be at its end,” Edwards said in the op-ed.

“For two years, this country has endured an impeachment, lawsuits, criminal investigations, congressional hearings, televised theater,” she continued. “And this week, Congress will release its final report. But there is nothing final about this moment. A funeral doesn’t put an end to your grief. The trauma cannot be bookended by paperwork. These scars cannot be masked with fine print, debated in committee.”

More GARBAGE from The Hill.

“it could take years for her and other officers to find peace after being traumatized during the rioting. “

No, you weren’t traumatized. Ashli Babbitt was traumatized to DEATH!
