Is there any information or update on the officer inside the Capitol who was clearly in great pain

and distress? Looking at one of the videos that Chris Hayes showed last night, it looked like he was being crushed between two doors, after head injuries?

Yes, he was howling in pain as he was being crushed. I'd also like to know if he's OK. SaveOurDemocracy Jan 2021 #2

And he thanked people for their concern and support.


I can't find the post right now, but if you Google it, you should find something.

Hey r/politics community,

The mod team received a message from the police officer shown in this post. We have verified his identity using the same standards we use for AMA proof.

"I'm ok and greatly appreciate everyone's well-wishing. It's also important everyone knows that it was both my and my colleagues' privilege to defend the Capitol against insurrection, and we'll do it as many times as necessary. I can do this all day."
