A Capitol Police Officer's Story
Standing My Ground: A Review
Harry Dunn, a Capitol Police officer, shares his harrowing and inspiring story of fighting for accountability and good trouble in the wake of the January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol. In his gripping memoir, "Standing My Ground," Dunn takes readers through the chaos and violence of that fateful day, and the subsequent months of reckoning and reform.
Dunn's account is a powerful testament to the courage and resilience of the Capitol Police officers who defended the Capitol against a violent mob. He vividly recounts the moments of fear and uncertainty, as well as the determination and resolve that kept him and his fellow officers going. Dunn also sheds light on the systemic failures that allowed the attack to happen in the first place, and the urgent need for accountability and reform.
Beyond the gripping narrative, Dunn's memoir is a profound meditation on the meaning of democracy, the rule of law, and the fight for justice. He argues that the January 6th attack was not an isolated incident, but a symptom of the growing embrace of extremism and the erosion of democratic norms in American society. Dunn calls for a renewal of civic engagement and a commitment to protecting the fragile fabric of American democracy.
"Standing My Ground" is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the events of January 6th, the challenges facing law enforcement, and the ongoing fight for accountability and good trouble in America.
