The text Officer Dunn got is horrifying. Basically a screen shot of battle plan, instructions for hiding weapons (including guns and bear spray, etc), and "Trump has given marching orders"

After that text, found out about the bomb at RNC. Growing crowd at capitol made him nervous. Reports of folks coming from Trump Rally.
Then, the calls for help began.

Officer Dunn took up a position to try to keep rioters away from officers getting aid for injuries. Faced off with rioters who screamed "we are doing this for you" and someone flashed a badge at him.

This is very emotional and raw. All the testimony has been. Gaetz and his ilk holding their bullshit press conference at DOJ to distract from this is abhorrent.

This is brutal. I’m glad their stories are being told but I’m so upset knowing that people just don’t care.

Officer Fanone responds to Chair Thompson's question of why he, as a plainclothes narcotics officer, decided to respond to the Capitol on 1/6. He says the calls for backup he was hearing were extraordinary and he could tell his ow officers were truly scared.

Officer Hodges speaks of a colleague who had lacerations and fractures to his finger, put some tape and A NAPKIN ON IT, and continued to serve for several hours before being med evacced and ultimately having part of his finger amputated.
Another colleague defending the tunnel was struck with a cattle prod.
One officer was being pulled, helpless, into the crowd, and a colleague charged, alone, into the mob to pull him out, sustaining multiple injuries in the process but probably saving a life.

It's noteworthy that every witness uses the word "terrorist" when referring to the insurrectionists

Liz immediately asks officer Gonell how he feels when Trump says the terrorists were full of love hugging and kissing officers.
Gonell says "I'm still recovering from those hugs and kisses"
