I don't say this lightly. Out of all the #CapitolRiot videos I've seen, this 52 minute clip from an officer's body camera is the most intense. I firmly believe this video is necessary viewing to understand the gravity of Jan 6. 1/

disabled by the pepper spray, as are many of the officers, it's like war zone, the officers incapacitated and staggering around getting water flushed into their eyes.

The sense of entitlement among the MAGA goons, to tell the police repeatedly to stand down, to ignore them, assault them, and assume they can enter the building at will--they need to UNLEARN this behavior, or we will see it again and again in state capitals across the country.

So surreal and scary.

I stand by the Metropolitan Police for doing the best they could.

Definitely going to be checking into this. If it's him, it makes perfect sense. I'll have no problems turning his ass in.

The officer whose body cam took this video was so nervous.
