Black Capitol Police officers say rioters repeatedly used N-word

Some of the Black police officers posted at the Capitol on Wednesday when a mob swarmed the building reportedly said they were subjected to racial abuse by some of the demonstrators. Describing their experience, two Black officers recalled being subjected to racial slurs, including the N-word by some members of the unruly crowd. ’I got called an N-word 15 times today,’ one of the officers said.
