New Video: Police Let Peaceful Protesters Into Capitol On Jan 6 Without Incident
Newly released video from inside the Capitol on Jan 6, which the DOJ has fought to keep secret, shows police let peaceful pro-Trump protesters into the building without incident.
Government prosecutors told the court this was "a riotous mob forcibly breaching the Capitol" that was "endangering the lives" of the officers and others....
We know from a previously released video on Jan 6 showing the same incident that the peaceful protesters were let in because Capitol police recognized they had the right to peacefully assemble and petition the government.
A cop was filmed telling the peaceful protesters something like he "disagrees" with their protest but "respects" their right to do so.
Two cameras, 40 minutes.
