Justice Department releases videos of 1/6 cop-dragging attack near pro-Trump rioter who died
"It’s becoming increasingly hard for me to understand why nobody — like, say, Donald Trump! — has been charged under 18 USC §2383 for “incit[ing] or engag[ing] in any insurrection against the authority of the United States or the laws thereof, or giv[ing] aid or comfort thereto.” - Professor Laurence Tribe, July 10, 2021

New footage shows Capitol rioters drag officer into crowd 01:26
(CNN)The Justice Department released new police body camera footage Friday showing one of the most disturbing assaults during the Capitol insurrection -- where three officers waded into the crowd to save a pro-Trump rioter who was trampled, only to be stripped of their protective gear, dragged down a set of stairs and attacked with crutches, flagpoles, batons and bare hands.
The DOJ released the videos after CNN and other outlets sued for access. All of the officers involved in this incident worked for Washington, DC's police force. They were identified by initials in court filings.
Officer A.W. stepped out of a tunnel where police were congregated and into the crowd to help Rosanne Boyland, 34, a rioter and QAnon supporter who was trampled by the mob. She died of an accidental drug overdose, according to Washington, DC's chief medical examiner. Boyland's body is seen in some of the new videos, which also show her friend screaming for assistance.
Prosecutors say A.W.'s body-worn camera video shows defendant Jack Whitton leaping over a barricade, knocking A.W. onto his back and attempting to wrestle away his baton. Over A.W.'s head, other rioters hit the police line with flagpoles and metal poles. The crowd drags A.W. into the crowd while he pleads for help. Members of the crowd ignore the plea, one rioter leans down and shouts, "traitor." Much of the clip is from A.W.'s perspective on the ground looking up. ....

This just underlines how deranged the narrative trying to sell this down is.
