A Word: Black Cop, White Mob
The violent January 6th insurrection was a historic threat to American democracy. It led to five deaths, and many more injuries. Several Capitol police were hurt, but still managed to keep congressmembers and staff safe. Veteran officer Harry Dunn was awarded a Presidential Citizens Medal for his service that day, and is now sharing his experience in his new book Standing My Ground: A Capitol Police Officer\u2019s Fight for Accountability and Good Trouble After January 6th. In today\u2019s episode of A Word, Dunn speaks with host Jason Johnson about fighting the insurrectionists, testifying in congressional hearings, and calling for accountability for the attackers.\n\nGuest: Harry Dunn, Capitol Police Officer\n\nPodcast production by Kristie Taiwo-Makanjuola\n\nYou can skip all the ads in A Word by joining Slate Plus.
