The racist slurs hurled at Harry Dunn, a Capitol Police officer, during the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol were cited as evidence this month in the Senate’s impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump. Until this week, Officer Dunn had remained anonymous.

Now, Officer Dunn, 37 — who is Black and is a 13-year veteran of the force, and who grew up in nearby Prince George’s County, Maryland — is ready to speak publicly about the violence and racism he experienced at the hands of a pro-Trump mob during that grim day in American history.

“A lot of us Black officers fought a different battle than everybody else fought,” Officer Dunn said in an interview with The Times.

“It took a horrific toll on us,” he continued. “Mental health has always been a stigma. Nobody wants to talk about it.”

Standing 6-foot-7 with a muscular frame, Officer Dunn is an imposing figure, but he says the bigotry and trauma he experienced that day were enough to intimidate anyone. Now that he is talking about his experience, he says other Black officers have told him that they, too, experienced racist slurs from the mob.

“So many people, for whatever reason, aren’t talking,” Officer Dunn said. “I just want to give a voice for us.”
