![]() ![]() ![]() I could talk your ear off about a friend of mine whose fiancé broke up with her during couple's therapy- remote couple's therapy over Zoom. Conversation was easier when you were talking about the tailor who lied about her husband's death to avoid an uncomfortable conversation about a missing shirt, or the guy who'd hooked up with his roommate and it didn't work out, and should he move now? She started asking people, got any gossip about anyone? And it kind of worked. So Rachel started doing this thing that I thought was pretty brilliant. So what are you supposed to talk about when there are no situations? Stuff from before the pandemic is too old to talk about now. It's not that I don't want to see people. Friends would get in touch and want to go for a walk. A quick warning also- this story contains a racial slur. And so, we had an actor copy his voice as closely as possible. Because they're not allowed to talk to the press, we needed to disguise this officer's identity. The Capitol Police officers, their job is to protect the Capitol grounds and members of Congress. Emmanuel put together this next story from an interview with one of those Black officers. Some of their experience, of course, was the same as white officers.īut as you'll hear, some of it was very different. What did they think about what happened? Eventually, he got a few of these officers on the phone, and they shared an insider account that is really unlike anything we've heard from the Capitol so far. He wanted to hear what the day was like for Black Capitol police officers, who faced off with this mostly white mob, a mob that showed up to the Capitol with Confederate flags and other symbols of white supremacy. And in the video, he's backing up a staircase, holding off a mob of rioters with a tiny telescoping baton. We'd all later find his name, Eugene Goodman. So what do you say exactly about what was lost two weeks ago on January 6th, when rioters stormed the Capitol building? When reporter Emmanuel Felton watched that day, out of all the footage he saw, one video stood out to him. ![]()
