“No one had ever, ever called me a n----- while wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police officer,” Officer Harry Dunn said during the first hearing of the House Jan. 6 committee
U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Harry Dunn testifies before the House select committee hearing on the Jan. 6 attack on Capitol Hill. | Chip Somodevilla/AP PhotoU.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn testified Tuesday that he and other Black officers faced racial slurs during the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
“You hear that guys? This n----- voted for Joe Biden” Dunn recalled the woman saying, using the full word himself to emphasize the point. “One officer told me he had never in his entire 40 years life being called a n----- to his face and that streak ended on January 6. Yet another Black officer later told me he had been confronted by insurrectionists in the Capitol who told him, ‘Put your gun down, and we'll show you what kind of n----- you really are.’”
