Nearly six months after the siege on our nation’s capitol, and we’re still seeing new examples of the danger the Capitol Police faced that day. Just-released video footage shows the moments when a retired NYPD cop attacked the officers trying to prevent the mob from storming the building.
Note that this video contains profanity.
NEW: Justice Dept. just released horrifying new footage from 1/6. Feds say this is ex-NYPD officer Thomas Webster (red jacket) wielding a flagpole, rushing at police & tackling a cop to the ground. DOJ released this after legal action by CNN and other outlets. (warning: explicit) pic.twitter.com/yf7DQQFMWr
