...
D.C.'s Acting Police Chief Robert Contee said the images left him sick to his stomach. The officer was terrified they'd kill him, Contee said. The video is chilling to watch, the officer ripped by insurrectionists from a line inside a door, his fellow officers unable to help him.

"I've had officers that have done two tours in Iraq say that this was scarier than their time in combat," Contee said.
Another video shows the terrified officer finally pulled from the crowd, injured and barely able to hold up his head.
The chief said the rioters injured a total of 56 D.C. police officers. Social media detectives have grabbed images from the videos and are doing their best to identify the rioters.

The States' electoral votes, walked right over that picture that night.
They do not care.
Whatever their end game of golden crowns or whatever, will be worth less than the free ones given out at BK in the 80's.
