(KGTV) -- Former San Diego Police Lieutenant-turned-independent journalist, Ray Shay, shared his account of Inauguration Day from the nation's capital. Not only was Shay there to witness history, but he was there with his 16-year-old son. "I feel that the first amendment right is so important for protesters and the press, and I want my son to learn," Shay said. Shay was there with his son, Ryan, to witness America's democracy in action. But because of the insurrection and the subsequent dispatch of National Guards troops and law enforcement, they said the Capitol almost felt like it was on lock-down.
