Give that man a raise! Bet he makes alot less than the $174,000.00 you Senators get.

He definitely deserves it. He is the definition of hero.

I'm sure the Capitol Hill Police Officers could not have imagined what they were going to be confronted with that day. As a Marine veteran, I salute them for what they had to endure, and for defending our democracy on that horrific day.

A black man who is a cop can be a hero of the Nation, not sure that was the ending those insurrectionist wanted. But that’s what they get.

At least about this bipartisan as republicans also accept that their leader was ready to get them killed but these great people saved their butts

Truly a patriot. His service undeniably brave. He did not pull his weapon, he did not fire, he kept his head and led them away. He did not use excessive force. He used his hand to distract and push. Everything he did was to de escalate.

At the very least should name after him the Hallway where he lured the rioters away from the Senate Chamber.
