Capitol rioters committed about 1K police assaults
Washington DC prosecutors in a court filing on Wednesday found that Capitol rioters committed roughly 1,000 assaults on federal officers on January 6.
On that date, a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol while Congress was in session, which the former head of state was accused of inciting in order to stop lawmakers from affirming election results.
The prosecutors uploaded over 2,900 police bodycam videos into its database, totaling over 2,300 hours. “Based on a review of the body-worn-camera footage conducted by our Office, the footage displays approximately 1,000 events that may be characterized as assaults on federal officers,” assistant at US Attorney’s Office Emily Miller said.
