As DC Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone lay on the ground at the US Capitol building, stunned and injured, he knew a group of rioters were stripping him of his gear. They grabbed spare ammunition, ripped the police radio off his chest and even stole his badge.
Then, Fanone, who had just been Tasered several times in the back of the neck, heard something chilling that made him go into survival mode.
"Some guys started getting a hold of my gun and they were screaming out, 'Kill him with his own gun,'" said Fanone, who's been a police officer for almost two decades.
Fanone, one of three officers who spoke with CNN, described his experience fighting a mob of President Donald Trump's supporters who'd invaded the Capitol in an insurrection unheard of in modern American history.
Federal officials have said the details of the violence that come out will be disturbing.
"People are going to be shocked by some of the egregious contact that happened in the Capitol," acting US Attorney Michael Sherwin said Tuesday in reference to attacks on police officers.

We’re not your enemies while they were attacking us.
@Joseph Martinez facts
@Stannis Baratheon so sounds like (without me doing ANY research on him at all lol) you just described a War Profiteer.
Yep, they exist. They stand for nothing but personal gains while keeping the flames going…so your point is now what exactly.
@uwu uwu you lost and will loss more . How much you choose
reminds me of the movie “mars attacks” when the aliens say “we come in peace” while blowing people away
“Rick Grimes” was attacked by the worthless “MAGA walkers.”
Wait, you mean that Blue Lives Mattered only to undermine BLM? And that they actually never cared? WOAH NO WAY!
@Auntie Fan420 are you joking? I hope you’re joking… Is there a systematic problem with the American police force? Yes, but don’t blame the mostly good police officers who are just trying to do their job. You’re using the same argument that fuels prejudice and it just damages our side’s credibility.
@Nick Charles I don’t know all the details of the shooting, but from what I can gather the shooting happened during the time of the protests, not as part of the protest. This is completely different than killing a cop during a riot. The cop was the obstacle to their goal and was dealt with as the enemy, the girl was not killed in response to the protests. Did unrest enable the shooter to feel emboldened? Most likely. But many protests were peaceful until provoked and often remained peaceful as people simply fled for their lives, not the other way around.
Oooh. Gold statement. The hypocrisy of Blue L M.
Of course, just like abortion, Republicans only care about it because it’s a hot button issue they can use to garner votes from religious people. Many GOP politicians have paid for abortions for their mistresses while claiming they are anti abortion. Blue lives matter is just another way to pander to the voters. There is no blue lives. Nobody is born blue, it’s a choice, they can take the uniform off anytime. Black people are born that way and it’s not a choice. Nobody is born with a badge and a uniform on.
The irony is that they’re waving a “blue lives matter” flag.
The best is that, as a result of this “mostly peaceful protest”, corrupt leftard politicians and their brain dead supporters are now scared to death of the patriotic freedom fighters they incited by certifying a phony election. “When the people fear the government, that is tyranny. When the government fears the people, that is liberty.” – Thomas Jefferson. Welcome to the resistance!! Welcome to liberty!!!!
@meowmeow Oh right because eight or so months of rioting in major cities all across the country (nonstop in places like Portland and Seattle) is entirely comparable to a single protest.
Try saying something smart next time.
@Magi GooterWhat we saw at the Capitol last week was not a protest. It had the very specific and singular goal of overturning legitimate election results and overthrow the US government.
@meowmeow Cool spin but it doesn’t change the fact that it’s very likely there were bad actors there doing what they did for an ulterior goal and that this one singular event is, in that regard, not even remotely comparable to the aforementioned three-quarters of a year protesting/rioting of 2020.
But spin away.
@Magi Gooter How is that a spin? BLM goal is what? Protest police brutality? And the goal of the capitol insurrectionists? Overthrowing the government. Are we going to compare either of these with riots after sport championships? If you really wanted to compare the capitol insurrectionists with anything it would be with the Confederates.
Dummy.
All this and only one shot fired. Where was the ” I feared for my life” excuse the use against unarmed blacks
the Calvary arrived late. Blue lives does what?
@ATL Braves Remember republicans running over anyone they found in their way? Remember the years under Obama and all republicans were screeching about how we was a Muslim? Remember all those domestic terrorist bombings made by loonies with their Right Wing manifesto? Remember January 6th when Republicans attacked the capitol?
They were heavily outnumbered, as the officer said all that would do is give the mob an excuse to take their guns and kill them.
A woman have been shot and that saved numerous life (congressmen and staff) at the capitole. Maybe just maybe if more deadly force was used those jihadist may run away from their goal
@dabs omar someone who understands
“When stupidity is considered patriotism, it is unsafe to be intelligent.” – Isaac Asimov
When someone steals your election, you let them. When someone suppresses your freedom of speech, you let them. When someone takes away your guns, you let them. When “Group-think” becomes the Law, you follow the flock. You have to draw the line somewhere or lose everything.
@ATL Braves you forgot your, lynchings, riots, rage, rapes, homicides and enslavement continues after 450 years.
@MadHouse I agree
“The spirit of resistance to government is so valuable on certain occasions, that I wish it to be always kept alive.” – Thomas Jefferson. Stick to quotes from our founding fathers. They wrote the book and knew what they were talking about.
@Carter Glass false. Patriotism means being faithful to the country NOT THE PRESIDENT.
What happened to “Blue Lives Matter”…?
AS OPPOSED TO THE ENTIRE SUMMER OF RIOTING AND LOOTING BY BLM AND ANTIFA THAT LEFT OVER 30 MURDERED AND WAS CHEERED ON BY THE LEFT? THE LEFT IS THE MOST DIVISIVE CULT THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN, AND I AM NOT EVEN CONSERVATIVE!
@ATL Braves oh you’re just everywhere trolling huh?
@ATL Braves 🤣🤣🤣
This is so sad to see and hear. USA is so sick right now. It’s like a mental breakdown.
Just remember trump told these people he “loved” them.
@Sabrason give me a break.
@mydogsioux ummm you may be misinformed and or didn’t watch the speech he gave, here
( President-elect Joe Biden told Georgia voters on Monday that $2,000 stimulus checks would be sent out to Americans right away if the state voted for the Democratic candidates Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff in Tuesday’s US Senate runoffs.
More than 3 million people voted early in the Georgia runoffs, according to the US Elections Project. The Election Day polls in Georgia close at 7 p.m. ET on Tuesday. )
And he said if Republicans won that they would never see the checks. That is literally breaking the law 18 U.S. Code § 597 – Expenditures to influence voting. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/597
Know what you speak about before you do. Also just because I know you think it no I do not support trump I will call out every person idgaf. Trumps gone next! It’s not all 1 guy silly man. Is it hard to believe that more than 1 man is a cheater or liar or fake? You believed I was lying even tho the proof is literally right in front of you google it he persuaded votes in his direction using stimulus check money.
@Sabrason I mean for allot of people it has nothing to do with trump or Biden tbh it’s all having to do with what everyone’s just. Is finally noticing the government is doing like Nancy and The rest of the house, literally the president is the face of the country and the guy that takes all responsibility for its failures and accomplishments, that’s really about it now a days. They can’t do anything without congress and the houses approval so yes the house Mrs Nancy the lady who has no term limit apparently and is speaker of the house is the one calling shots rn basically that’s what allot of people were mad about hints why her computer and all was taken people are trying to put out all the proof on her it’s not about trump or Biden really for allot of people tbh
He probably isnt capable of love.
@Paul Smith but he loved you the most🥺
0:25 “Kill him with his own gun” That´s disturbing. I would like to see the psychological profile of a person, who is capable of of yelling something like that.
democrats,blm,antifa.
AS OPPOSED TO THE ENTIRE SUMMER OF RIOTING AND LOOTING BY BLM AND ANTIFA THAT LEFT OVER 30 MURDERED AND WAS CHEERED ON BY THE LEFT? THE LEFT IS THE MOST DIVISIVE CULT THIS WORLD HAS EVER SEEN, AND I AM NOT EVEN CONSERVATIVE!
It’s called a alcoholic, believe me they don’t really think logically.
It’s a mob—we’d do well to remember that we might all be susceptible to the strange psychological influence of a mob, and to take care we do not succumb. Yes, there is something wrong with these people that led them to be there that day and led them to join this particular rioting mob, but be on guard against your own worst human instincts, and don’t think “I could never do that”.
The scary thing is many of them are REGULAR well-respected members of their communities. This is what happens when people join a mob and believe violence in the name of their cause is justified.
“Non-violent patriots”
Uhuh.
**eats popcorn**
These officers need to testify at tRump’s impeachment in the senate.
@Judy C Question then, so here is a official government website https://mullin.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=4286
. Gov so you know it’s legit unless the government lies and isn’t legit? Well anywho let’s say it’s legit cause it’s a government website okay! So it list every single person exact date stamp too and exactly what they said, Nancy literarily told the people , our speaker of the house who just impeached trump for all this stuff starting this and etc, she literally told the people to riot and to be mad 2 years ago. CNN chris cuomo told everyone that protest weren’t suppose to be peaceful at all. And oh here’s the best one hand to hand with Biden’s stupid high school beat him up comment.
( They’re [protests] not gonna stop before election day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after election day. And that should be – everyone should take note of that.” – Senator Kamala Harris (D-CA) on 6/18/2020
And she’s being sworn in as VP. So my question here is with the fact it’s a official government website and clearly states them instigating and basically pushing the people to protest aggressively and all, sound familiar to what’s going on now? So why are they not in the wrong or impeached for this!? Why are they above that law? Not saying trump is innocent at all, I’m saying it’s pretty obvious that they are abusing their power and making them selfs in touchable and gave them selfs diplomatic immunity, do as I say not as I do. Nancy is the perfect example of that. So what do you think about this government official website listing straight facts that prove they too did what trump did and theu should be impeached them selfs too? You think it’s fake? Or you agree but sadly know it won’t ever happen because they are abusing power? Just curious not trynna fight 🙂
@T•S•M TrippyStateOfMind false equivalency-sorry. Stay on topic here-this “movement “ was about the attempt to overturn a free and fair election. These people were just unhappy their dear leader LOST. Show me ONE clip where a Democratic presidential candidate refuses to concede. tRump still has not said on camera that Biden won the election. That is what this insurrection was about. So I will discuss that with you…but I’m not getting into your “whataboutism” debate.
@T•S•M TrippyStateOfMind I understand your point that there are dishonest politicians on both sides. My point is that the situation being discussed is the attempted insurrection and the call from the president to his people to “rally” to attempt to overturn a free and fair election. There was not enough voter “fraud” that would have made a significant difference for the results to favor tRump. tRump LIED to this country about the election results-it was not “stolen”. He then called for his people to come to D.C. on Han 6th, stating-it will be wild. His supporters have been discussing on social media for weeks about their plans to “take their country back”. Dude-this is not a republican vs Democrat issue-this is a tRump is the worst president this country has ever had to endure issue. He is deranged, delusional and dangerous. If you can not see that he is by far-the worst self serving president we have ever had-I don’t know what else to say.
“Thank you, but F you for being there.” Well said.

@ATL Braves
lol
They should of used rubber bullets on them like they did on peaceful protesters
It’s amazing how “The Blue Lives Matter” crowd bludgeoned a police officer to death, and crushed this officer, because, of their love for The Trump Family.
The Trump Family is really starting to resemble the Manson Family — all these gullible knuckleheads who are willing to kill or be killed for the sake of someone else who is a crazed madman and who cares nothing about them in return. Trumpism is a cult. No two ways about it.
@ATL Braves where are you getting your information from? Can you cite FACTUAL sources? I think you’re full of bologna. 64 court cases and still no proof of any widespread fraudulent voting. Stop spreading misinformation and conspiracy theories.
Well it is said that one of the officers may have looked at Princess Ivanka’s tax payer breast enhancement (“hey, I am a model!) so they couldnt have that!!
@ATL Braves Just because you’re using all caps doesn’t mean you’re right.
these thugs that stormed the capital dont even know what they represent .they dont represent any thing .They just want to raise hell damage property and hurt peoiple .
This hilarious narrative that AnTiFa dressed themselves up as hillbillies and stormed the capitol 2 months after Trump lost the election, AND the day AFTER Trump’s friends lost both of their senate races LOL OK
@ATL Braves cool beans. We aren’t talking about them, are we. What they did needs to be looked at and those involved should be charged.
Now, would you like to stick to the topic at hand. I’ll give you a reminder, since you seem slow. We are saying it is ridiculous to think what happened at the capital was undercover antifa.
If you think it was, then it was undercover proud boys that burned businesses this summer 🤣🤦♂️
@Mike Porter If you are talking about the white guy pretending to be black and a leader of BLM chapter? He have been called out by other BLM leaders as a fake, and said he does not speak for BLM.
@Dom Sow To these idiots calling Antifa as facists? The term Antifa is short for anti-facists for the idiots who are attacking them not knowing what the term means.
@ATL Braves ok Trump🤥🤥
@ATL Braves woah there jamal, don’t pull out the nine😂😂you really need to calm down. Posting in all caps doesn’t make your opinion any more valid
The irony of ‘Back the Blue’ flags being waved by the mob…
“telling us, we’re not your enemies while they were attacking us” the hypocrisy is unbelievable.
