4 years ago today, I was walking into the Capitol for my shift as a Capitol police officer.
I wouldn't know it yet, but my life was about to change forever.
I'd be attacked. Beaten with clubs, baseball bats. Sprayed with WD-40, pepper spray, bear spray. Called slurs that I'd never been called in my life.
An angry mob, emboldened by Donald Trump and MAGA-extremists pushing the Big Lie, would storm the Capitol. Never caring about the lives of me and my fellow officers. They destroyed a sacred place, an institution dedicated to upholding the rule of law. And they attempted to destroy democracy.
My life changed on January 6. It's the reason I've spent the last 4 years fighting.

It's not dramatic to say that our democracy is on thin ice – but I can't save it alone.
