This is how I’m going to die, defending this entrance,” Capitol Police Officer Aquilino Gonell recalled thinking, testifying at the emotional opening hearing of the congressional panel investigating the violent Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection.
Officer Gonell told House investigators he could feel himself losing oxygen as he was crushed by rioters – supporters of then-President Donald Trump – as he tried to hold them back and protect the Capitol and lawmakers.

Where is all the video. I'd like to SEE what he did rather than hear practiced/rehearsed stories 6 months after the fact. I know for a fact that 6 months after a traumatic experience my memories are very colored by months of pondering, what-ifs, how could I..., and all the people around me talking about it.

1) Ashli Babbitt, 35, an Air Force veteran from Southern California, was shot and killed by a Capitol Police officer as she clambered through a broken window leading to the Speaker’s Lobby inside the Capitol.
2) Kevin D. Greeson, 55, of Athens, Ala., was standing in a throng of fellow Trump loyalists on the west side of the Capitol when he suffered a heart attack and fell to the sidewalk. He was talking on the phone with his wife at the time.
3) Ms. Boyland appears to have been killed in a crush of fellow rioters during their attempt to fight through a police line, according to videos reviewed by The Times.
4) Mr. Philips died of a stroke in Washington, those who accompanied him to the Capitol told the newspaper. The exact circumstances of his death were still unclear, and his family could not be reached for comment.
No police died.
Yes - lots of cell phone video. Zero, zilch, nada for OFFICIAL video from the dozens (scores? hundreds?) of security cameras all over the building, both inside and out.

My head is certainly not buried nor is it up any one party's trotted out lines or any MSM's narrative.

Why Is the Government Hiding January 6 Video Footage?
Joe Biden calls it the worst attack since the Civil War. Attorney General Merrick Garland compares it to the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. The FBI is breaking down the doors of Iraq War veterans and…

Your going to laugh when you hear what he did. He stood before the angry mob and openly declared: "I voted for Joe Biden, doesn't my vote count?" That was his attempt at crowd control in front of an angry mob that voted for the other guy. I am absolutely serious. Primary reason he was focused on by the angry mob. The whole Congressional panel heard that and not a single one asked about his Civil Disturbance training. He then testified he was running all over Capitol Hill, to this destination, then that destination, then to another destination. Nobody asked him what his assigned post was and why he did not stay in one place. Unusual during a Civil DIsturbance not to have an assigned defensive position but instead to run all over the place. Congress is not taking their job seriously with these hearings. They are nothing more than political opportunism at it's worst.

I listened to the guy's testimony that is pictured. I am a former NG with Civil Disturbance training. This guy stood up in front of the crowd and declared "I voted for Joe Biden, doesn't my vote count?" ....is that effective crowd control when your faced with a mob of angry protestors that voted for the other guy? What was his civil disturbance training and what the hell motivated him to do that? His "eye witness" testimony was led by the Congress people investigating and not a single one asked about his training, not a single question about his assigned post (he was running all over the campus like a chicken with his head cut off........is that a normal and orderly response to a civil disturbance or a paniced response?). Congress is not asking any probing questions here but is just presenting or producing an emotional show to gain political points. These hearings are accomplishing nothing and this will probably happen again because of it.
