As an independent journalist, I’m always searching for the next big story, a powerful lead, or a viral moment that captures the public’s astonishment. This time, I believe I’ve found it with Sean Dunn, a 37-year-old man from Washington D.C. He was visibly irate and a little tipsy as he hurled a perfectly good sandwich—still in its wrapper—with full force. Filled with disgust and shame, he threw it directly at the chest of an officer, hitting the badge squarely in the center. I believe they were CDP officers.
As someone who has been documenting and observing the situation from the sidelines, it’s clear that this man was not trying to cause real harm. Sean Dunn appears to be the same height and a similar weight as the officers. If he had wanted to cause harm, he could have. This was a public display of disobedience and outright shame, as he could be seen shouting, “Shame! Shame!” at the officers.
Sean Dunn seemed to see himself in those officers. He saw his peers and was disgusted with fellow Americans who incarcerate other Americans. In my opinion, this act was civil disobedience with a chef’s kiss. Sean Dunn knows his white privilege. He knows he will be out in the morning and will not serve hard time for this. If I, as a man with a dark mustache and a Mexican background, had thrown that sandwich, I believe they would have sent me to the gas chamber or a firing squad.
To Sean Dunn, I say, “Thank you, brother. You stand with us.” This is a moment to take a stand. It doesn’t matter if you’re Black, White, Pink, or Gray; as Americans, we all face similar challenges, though in some cases, some face more than others.
