Video released by the U.S. Dept. of Justice in response to a court order appears to show a police officer being dragged into a violent mob by January 6 insurrectionists incited by Donald Trump.
The video, presumably captured by a body cam, is one of many that have been posted by NBC4 Washington Investigative Reporter Scott MacFarlane. It is violent and disturbing.
The DOJ has charged over 500 people who participated in the attempted coup on January 6, and reportedly expects to charge dozens more.
They have yet to publicly charge any of the actual leaders of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, an attempt to overturn a free and fair election.
Watch (caution):
MacFarlane also posted another incredibly disturbing video today, in which an insurrectionist tells a police officer, “You’re going to die tonight.”
Again, caution:
