The long-time partner of the US Capitol police officer who died following the Jan. 6 insurrection penned an emotional op-ed Wednesday that detailed her grief and her efforts to see a full investigation into the siege.
Sandra Garza, who spent 11 years with Officer Brian Sicknick, wrote in the opinion essay published on CNN that initially following his death, she couldn’t bear to watch any of the news coverage of the insurrection, but once she did, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
“I saw officers being brutalized and beaten, and protesters defying orders to stay back from entering the Capitol. All the while, I kept thinking, ‘Where is the President? Why is it taking so long for the National Guard to arrive? Where is the cavalry!?’” Garza wrote.
“As the months passed, my deep sadness turned to outright rage as I watched Republican members of Congress lie on TV and in remarks to reporters and constituents about what happened that day. Over and over they denied the monstrous acts committed by violent protesters.”
