Is Gunther Hashida Japanese?
Yes, Gunther Hashida was Japanese, but he worked for the USA.
On July 6, hundreds of MPD officers, including Hashida, responded to the US Capitol building to help defend it from thousands of supporters of Former President Donald Trump, who were attempting to disrupt the certification of Electoral College Votes.
Although more than 140 officers were injured while defending the building, including 65 MPD officers, it was not clear that Hashida was one of them.
Besides, Pelosi said that officer Gunther Hashida was a hero who risked his life to save the Capitol, the congressional community, and Democracy.
He also said that all Americans are indebted to him for his great valor and patriotism on January 6 and throughout his selfless service.
The police department also said that may his life be an inspiration to protect our country and Democracy.
Well, not just Americans but Japan lost their pride, too, as he somehow presents the country’s name as he was Japanese.
