As Nathan Tate prepared a PowerPoint on the Boston Tea Party and the use of violence in protests, he thought: How could he ignore an urgent lesson he was primed to teach? One where he was also a primary source?

Nathan Tate was a D.C. police officer defending the U.S. Capitol on January 6. Now he’s trying to find the lesson in it.

He was attacked on Jan. 6. Can he make sense of it for the kids he teaches? A powerful piece about a D.C. police officer turned middle school teacher by @esilverman11.

"Eventually, the department held a mandatory group session where officers were reminded that therapists were available to them. After that, he says, no further discussion." read @esilverman11 on how Jan. 6 lives on for a D.C. police officer-turned-teacher https://t.co/l0mUeeCH6v

Excellent piece today from @esilverman11. A former police officer who defended the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is now a U.S. history teacher. He asks his students: “Can violence ever be justified in the name of patriotism or protest?” https://t.co/kBZSz0lsjc

Using one of my gift links to share this brilliant @esilverman11 piece about a DC cop turned teacher reliving Jan. 6 with his students five years later. Illuminating and moving and oh so convicting. https://t.co/tGhVzOfqXO

Trump has deployed troops throughout U.S. cities, a defining policy of his second term. This is the most in-depth exploration of what that means for the people most vulnerable to violence. Proud to work w/ @kemettler @esilverman11 @joysung @juanbennjr: https://t.co/7F2Ri6qbwq

And while violent crime did fall during the 30-day crime emergency, those at 10th Place said tactics used by law enforcement deepened their distrust of authorities and made them feel no safer. The president’s crime strategy, they said, has not fixed chronic public safety issues.
