This episode was originally released on October 18, 2022. In this encore presentation, host Reed Galen is joined by former Metropolitan Police Department Officer Michael Fanone. They discuss Fanone’s path to service, his harrowing personal account of January 6, 2021, the aftermath of January 6th and his post-insurrection public appearances, and whether or not the case built by the House Select Committee on January 6th has been effective in proving its case to the American people. Plus, how has policing changed over the course of Fanone’s twenty-year career and what remains to be improved. For more on this, be sure to pick up Michael Fanone's new book, Hold the Line, wherever fine books are sold.
