Interesting Jan 6th Fact part, 4
Body-worn camera and independent video show outrageous misconduct by law enforcement.
Even though protesters were respecting police lines at the time, D.C. Metropolitan Police launched an aggressive and unnecessary offensive against the crowd assembled on the west lawn.
Footage shows officers throwing stun grenades and other devices containing rubber bullets into the crowd beginning shortly after 1:00 p.m.
Video and testimony by Capitol police officers at trial confirmed how that activity enraged the crowd. Other officers shoved women down stairs and shoved one man off the upper terrace balcony.
This conduct continued inside the building. Some officers shoved and hit individuals inside the Rotunda and other areas. A brutal scene in the lower west terrace tunnel unfolded as police used their batons to beat at least two women on the head resulting in bleeding and injuries.
Excessive force caused the deaths of four Trump supporters:
Ashli Babbitt,
Rosanne Boyland,
Kevin Greeson
Benjamin Phillips.
