Summary
Police officers who defended the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 riot condemned Donald Trump’s mass pardon of those involved, calling it a “miserable miscarriage of justice.”
Trump granted clemency to over 1,500 individuals, including those who assaulted law enforcement.
Former officers Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell criticized the pardons, highlighting lasting physical and emotional scars from the attack.
Both officers, now advocates against political violence, emphasized the erasure of accountability and warned of the dangers of Trump’s actions normalizing future violence.
