Texas couple who deleted Facebook posts bragging about being at the Capitol riot were arrested for

assaulting police officers, FBI says

A couple from North Texas was arrested Wednesday on charges related to the siege at the US Capitol on January 6, when a mob of Donald Trump's supporters breached the building to disrupt the certification of the election.

In a criminal complaint, the Federal Bureau of Investigations said Mark and Jalise Middleton of Forestburg were captured on footage from body cameras worn by police that showed them assaulting two Metropolitan Police Department officers who were guarding the Capitol.

They are facing charges that include assaulting police officers and remaining on restricted grounds, though they did not appear to have entered the building.

The footage shows the police officers struggling against rioters who are pushing against a barricade and trying to break the police line, ignoring commands from officers to step back, the complaint said.

I have mine hidden from public and only allow friends and family see my rare posts. Are friends and family turning these people in? I know some have but it seems like a lot have been arrested that didn’t have friends turn them in. Do they not have Facebook security protections on or something. Very confusing.
