Paramedics and first responders share accounts of Jan. 6 insurrection
The documentary-style video, produced by DC Fire and EMS and released on YouTube, offers an hour-by-hour account of their attempts to provide life-saving care amid a flurry of violence, turmoil and death.
"The resources we had in place were quickly overwhelmed," Deputy Fire Chief Daniel McCoy says in the first few minutes of the film. Paramedic Sgt. Alethea Brooks described the chaos while she was trying to provide aide to the injured. Rioters spat at her and called her racial slurs multiple times, she said.
Another paramedic, Rocco Gabriele, describes how his gear was taken by rioters and his supplies were dumped out while he was treating a patient. "We did what we could with what we had and we did it fast," he said.

Georgia Rep. Andrew Clyde (R) :
"You know, if you didn't know the TV footage was a video from January the 6th,
you would actually think it was a normal tourist visit."
