New January 6 video shows three hours of violent and chaotic assault on police

[LetMyPeopleVote]

This video is very disturbing

Link to tweet

The Justice Department this week released a three-hour video of a battle between rioters and the police at the US Capitol Building on January 6 where rioters brandished weapons, officers were viciously beaten, and a member of the mob died on Capitol steps.

The assault on the Lower West Terrace was one of the most violent confrontations between Capitol Police and the crowd. Officers held the line until the building was cleared without letting rioters inside. Some officers have since said they did not know the Capitol had already been breached in other areas.

The video, taken from a Capitol security camera, does not have sound. It starts as officers retreat, helping each other as they stumble inside and washing their eyes out with water from chemical spray. Rioters crowd in behind them, coordinate efforts to attack and push through in infamous moments that have haunted the public, and officers, ever since.

The Justice Department released the videos after CNN and other outlets sued for access. It is the longest video from the riot released by the government thus far.

35. Jesus.

That was exhausting just skipping through it for 5 minutes. I am not generally a fan of cops, but those officers were amazing. I can't even imagine fighting that zombie horde for hours.

By the way, I have never once, in 35 years of peaceful protest, seen anyone bring a ladder to a protest. What the actual fuck with these assholes?!

* a christmas wish

37. The Sedition Hunters will be all over this.

Psyched. Let’s round em up.

[malaise]

7. DOJ?

But but but I read here that….

Lock them up!

[Evolve Dammit]

9. Lock them all up. No excuse. They are legal adults. They chose to be violent and take over capitol

[AllaN01Bear]

13. can these "people " be retried by 1/6 under different charges ?

then there is the lame duck doj.

[oldsoftie]

14. I'll say it again; they should've OPENED FIRE when the violence commenced

And it wouldnt have gone on 3 hours. It would've ended in about 5 minutes with minimal casualties.

[OverBurn]

20. +1

[PatSeg]

22. Oh, I don't think so

The long range repercussions of that would be horrendous and the those who died would be made MAGA martyrs. Nonlethal measures would have been appropriate though, but the problem was not enough police or backup to administer such responses adequately.

[oldsoftie]

27. The one time a shot was fired, they retreated. True, they lionize her.

But a quick forceful response at the start would have made it clear that this WILL NOT be tolerated & wouldnt be successful in the future.
Now, they talk about being "better organized next time", because they pretty much had the run of the place for hours

[Elessar Zappa]

25. I agree.

[Justice matters.]

15. That's how "tourists" visit the Capitol every day.

[KS Toronado]

16. Every MSM should do a 3 hour special with this

show the American people the true colors of "peaceful R tourists.

[MustLoveBeagles]

34. Agreed

[Wounded Bear]

17. I hope to see a lot of this in campaign ads this coming season...

"This is your republican party."

[toughtony]

18. Ashli babbitt

Also died during this period (if I not mistaken), so let's remember this the next time trump uses her as a political tool to boost himself to his cult followers.

[burrowowl]

19. Yes it should be broadcast by PBS and the cable channels

[IllinoisBirdWatcher]

21. K & R +1000 N/T

[mrsadm]

23. From the Justice dept., hurray!

[Codifer]

24. I had a thought...

What the hell does a white asshole hafta do to get shot?

[oldsoftie]

26. Not a lot of people here agree with you. But I do.

This would have been over in 5 minutes if they'd dropped the first 3-4 when the violence began

[Codifer]

31. Hopefully

A lesson learned when 6 January comes again.

I am worried.

[albacore]

40. The seditionists will bring guns next time. nt

...that people are getting away with this crime against our country.
