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.”

The truth will set you free, cupcake.
I’d like to hear from police who were REALLY injured during the rioting, burning and looting in Portland, Seattle and other lefty cities during the summer of 2020.
How many lefties were indicted and jailed for attacking police with molotov cocktails?
Last year?
2 years ago, thanks very much.
Let’s not detract from the fact this is the only thing commie Dems can pin their hopes of vilifying Repubs on.
“...U.S. Capitol Officer Caroline Edwards, who sustained a traumatic brain injury...”
She had to really think....That’s what did it...
Nancy Pelosi hung the Capitol Police out on January 6th President Trump offered major reinforcements they were refused.
Drama Prince.
Caroline Edwards giving evidence to the position that police officer is a too dangerous job for a fragile woman.
“Poor Honey Child. Can you point on this doll the actual place you physically hurt?”
Then get out of the job. What pathetic people.
Sounds like a Capitol pussy to me.
Oops, I see it’s a female snowflake .. still, opinion stands.
Are they among the Capital Police who opened doors and welcomed in the crowds on January 6th??
What happened to Capitol Police on J6 was a shock to the officers because in decades of dealing with conservatives there had never been violence against them.
The FReepers were active in D.C. for over a decade from the late 1990s though the 2000s--no violence. The Tea Party took up the mantle in the Obama years--no violence. Since the 1970s the March for Life took place every year across from the Capitol--no violence, no attacks on police. All the violence and attacks on police in those decades and before came from the Left.
The rise during the Trump years of Antifa and the responding far-right Proud Boys brought violence and criminal activity by the right in D.C. for the first time--but not attacks on police.
Regardless of whether provocateurs instigated the J6 riot (I do), the perception by the officers of law-and-order conservatives attacking and beating them within an inch of their lives was traumatic.
It used to be that a few officers hanging out behind flimsy snow fencing was all that was needed for security when conservatives marched on Capitol Hill. Just the month before thousands of Trump supporters rallied and marched in D.C. and walked to the Capitol and Supreme Court without incident.
Are there Democrat police officers grandstanding and taking political vengeance against Trump and Republicans over J6? Yes. Is this officer one of those? I don't know. But I can say that her trauma is justified.
Crushed to death when police pushed other protestors on top of her.
Also, the 2 other deaths, of "natural causes", at the capitol, were a stroke and a heart attack.
It was reported that these happened when the police shot flashbangs into the crowd, before anyone stormed the capitol.
