Cops From All Over the Country Were in D.C. During Coup Attempt

Two Black officers who were working at the Capitol during the attack told Buzzfeed News that some of the insurgents they came face to face with were in fact off-duty cops:

“[One guy] pulled out his badge and he said, ‘we’re doing this for you.’ Another guy had his badge. So I was like, ‘well, you gotta be kidding.’”

Another officer, a newer recruit, echoed these sentiments, saying that where he was on the steps to the rotunda on the east side of the Capitol, he was engaged in hand-to-hand battles trying to fight the attackers off. But he said they were outnumbered 10 to one, and described extraordinary scenes in which protesters holding Blue Lives Matter flags launched themselves at police officers.

“We were telling them to back up and get away and stop, and they’re telling us, they are on our side, and they’re doing this for us, and they’re saying this as I’m getting punched in my face by one of them … That happened to a lot of us. We were getting pepper sprayed in the face by those protesters, I’m not going to even call them protestors, by those domestic terrorists,” said the officer.

Agios Markos și Nea Moni

ore de drum

Chios, 2017

Din Kavala, după un periplu de douăsprezece ore pe puntea exterioară a unui vapor, în zori de zi, pe întuneric, am descins în insula Chios.

Eram nerăbdătoare să văd mănăstirea Nea Moni, o comoară de artă bizantină din secolul 11, clasificată în patrimoniul mondial UNESCO. După un kataif și o cafea la ibric, la prima oră a dimineții, am pornit într-acolo. În zare, dincolo de ape, se zărește Turcia.

20170617_105849

Doar că mănăstirea nu este semnalată corespunzător, așa că în drum am făcut o confuzie și am intrat mai întâi la Agios Markos, alt locaș bizantin și ortodox, încă funcțional, cu un mic sector privat în care sunt găzduite chiliile câtorva călugări.

20170617_104054

Nea Moni este cuibărit pe o costă de munte, între pini venerabili care alternează cu lumânările verde închis ale chiparoșilor. În istoria locașului, este semnificativ faptul că Sfântul Nectarie, tămăduitorul din Egina, a fost primit aici pentru…
