Capitol rioter apologizes to police after hearing ends

A hearing full of extraordinary revelations ended with an extraordinary gesture of atonement: Capitol rioter Stephen Ayres, who pleaded guilty last month to charges related to his actions on Jan. 6, approached former and current U.S. Capitol Police and D.C. police officers who defended the Capitol from the mob of which he was a part. At the conclusion of the hearing, Ayres walked up to Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, former U.S. Capitol Police Sgt. Aquilino Gonell, former D.C. police officer Michael Fanone and D.C. Police Officer Daniel Hodges to make amends. “I’m really sorry,” Ayres said to Dunn, before embracing the officer.
