Black Capitol police officers say they were attacked by “racist terrorists” during the riots, some of whom repeatedly called them the word N, according to a report.
Two officers described being subjected to racial abuse (including insults) during Wednesday’s chaos that left five people dead, including one of their colleagues, BuzzFeed reported.
“They called me [an N-word] Today 15 times, “recalled one of the agents, who is a veteran of the force, who called once the pro-Trump crowd dispersed,” the media reported.
Another officer, who is a new recruit, described being forced to engage in melee combat with riot police, some of whom threw Blue Lives Matter flags at them.
“We told them to back up, to leave and to stop, and they tell us that they are on our side and that they are doing it for us and they say it while I’m getting punched in the face by one of them.” , he told the dam.
“These protesters were bursting pepper in our faces, I will not even call them protesters of those national terrorists,” the official said.
According to reports, the oldest police said the sophistication of the crowd of Trump supporters has been downplayed.
“That was a well-trained group of militia terrorists who attacked us,” he said at the exit.
He said they had radios, two-way communicators and headphones, as well as homemade explosives and pipe bombs.
“These boys had military training. Many of them were ex-servicemen, “the officer told BuzzFeed.
Once they finally contained the violence, the veteran police officer said a wave of emotion gripped him.
“I sat down with one of my friends, another black guy, and tears started flowing down my face,” he told BuzzFeed.
“I said, ‘What’s the matter, man?’ Is this America? What just happened fk? I am very fed up and tired of this fact ”.
In the middle of the roundabout, he started yelling at anyone in particular shouting, “They’re racist ass terrorists.”
“I cried for about 15 minutes and let it go,” he told reporters.
