Fanone, Dunn are fighting back politically after being attacked as police officers on Jan. 6 – By Emily Ngo & Nicholas Wu (Politico) / Jan 5, 2024
Former police officers make foray into political arena, though with different approaches.
Policing was what Harry Dunn and Michael Fanone knew. Politics is what they’ve come to learn.
The former law enforcement officers brutalized at the hands of the mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol have for three years had front-row seats to how Washington responds, shifts and spins with historic events.
Both have chosen to amend their personal missions, turning their Jan. 6 trauma into political action.
“It’s important that every institution in this country, every American, take the responsibility of upholding democracy seriously,” Fanone said in an interview. “And everyone needs to be doing everything that they can to ensure that a) Donald Trump does not succeed and b) the MAGA movement is extinguished.”
