gonell: i was stationed by the supreme side court area, at the staging ground. in the moment that we heard the first call of the officer in distress, we had an officer injured, and then my squad, almost everybody who is in the area, we responded immediately to the west side. we were there to confront the crowd. by the time we got there, there were a lot of officers that were already fighting for their lives because they were overwhelmed and physically being attacked from multiple sides. so the magnitude of what we encountered was something like i never experienced myself, not even when i was overseas in combat. >> one thing i have been struck by looking at so much video that day is how the capitol police were not the aggressors at the beginning, it was the protesters pushing over the barriers. i did not see officers reach for their weapons or pull their weapons. at one point in time some of those coming at you told you they were armed, they had guns. looking back at that a year later, how much of the first wave of that conflict was animated and was set by what y

gonell: si.l paÍs, la democracia enfrentÓ una de las pruebas mÁs difÍciles. esa misma noche, congresistas y senadores republicanos condenaron el hecho. [habla en inglÉs] calderon: el ex vicepresidente mike pence, quien presidÍa la sesiÓn en el congreso, tambiÉn fue enfÁtico. [habla en inglÉs] calderon: el sargento gonell asegura que el ex vicepresidente mike pence minimizÓ los hechos al referirse meses despuÉs al ataque simplemente como un trÁgico dÍa en enero. [habla en inglÉs] gonell: principalmente a Él lo estaban buscando. gritaban que lo iban a ahorcar. cuando lo querÍan ahorcar delante de su hija, delante de su esposa. y nosotros, la policÍa, le dimos suficiente tiempo para que se escapara. y hoy en dÍa nos dice “no fue tan grave. no fue lo que pasÓ.” calderon: ¿cÓmo le explica a su hijo? ¿cÓmo se lo explica a un niÑo de 10 aÑos? gonell: hace como un mes me decidÍ de hablarle y explicarle un poco y la manera que se lo dije fue “cuando tÚ seas grande vas a escuchar ciertas cosas. quizÁs me v

gonell: sgt. gonell: before that, i don't think she understood the implication that me coming back to work also insured her that i was providing safety not only for the country for her and my son and their future by continuing to keep the system that we have. january 6 was still an attempted coup and god knows what would have happened if we didn't have the systems we had in place and her future the way i thought about it. mr. harvin: you are now back, not every day. you will be again shoulder to shoulder with officers. each affected individually on their own way. can you talk about the shared experience between your colleagues and the impact that it has had on you all? is there something we should take away from this, where you are one year later? >> it is hard to put into words, because you have a lot of different angles. mental, physical, and the work environment where you come to work and you see the same people that i risk life to give them the chance to go to a secure area and not be harmed.

let me just play what officer gonell said. >> hold people who are responsible accountable, includingfficials because if they don't do that, this might be a recurring issue every four years. >> thus far, michael, right, it's -- it's the people who were actually there rioting, the insurrectionists being charged and 300 of them, they can't even find. but -- but none of the politicians who said the words and the lie that caused all those individuals to be there. do you have any hope that the right people will be held accountable? >> um, yeah, i mean, my experience as a law enforcement officer and as american, i think that, um, unfortunately, many of these politicians are going to get away by hiding behind, you know, political speak and, um, the idea that, you know, that their words were -- were not intentional. so, no, i don't believe that there is going to be accountability for those individuals who were involved in the planning and preparation for that day. and also, those whose inciteful rhetoric resulted in the insurrection at the capitol. >> so, i know that you -- you have talked ab

republican party in my lifetime, but -- and i felt this way watching officers dunn and fanone and gonellent about attacks against sort of partisans who are in politics and attacks against people who are sort of deep inside our state health agencies trying to get out the guidance and the evolving science during a pandemic. how do you try to re-erect guardrails that have just been demolished by this republican party? >> yeah, i don't know. i mean, it's hard to know how you put that genie back in the bottle. i think that clint is right in saying that the potential and the opportunity for actual violence, for actual harm is right there. and clearly, we saw that on january 6th. but in the case of dr. fauci, he's been a career public servant. he's in his 80s. he has done nothing but serve and protect the public health of americans and people around the world. and telling the truth about this pandemic and what we need to do, and so it really is so disheartening, and you could actually hear the emotion in dr. fauci's voice when he talked about the threats to not just himself but to his family an
