I wonder why little to no footage of the clearing out of the roit/terrorists?

I have seen one video that appears to be the police reinforcements driving out the Trumpers......seems strange that there is not more footage....

I wouldn't watch it again, anyhow. There's plenty of video, but it's not as interesting as the earlier stuff, really. When they finally showed up, everyone left. They knew it was over.

That is why an overwhelming presence of defenders is so effective. The mob will leave if they're there.

Hurt my arm at work so was not working.
It was awful to watch and by the time “help” arrived it was dark and there were extremely bright lights upon the Capitol. I imagine that would affect video and cameras.

Also. The media cut away because they had been on all day and local news formats took over.

Not sure why other media present did not release much footage of them leaving. The sensationalist part is them entering. “If it bleeds, it leads.”

Calmly screaming victory and other garbage, while going back in to find buddies. No arrests. That would have been the perfect door to let a few out at a time and zipcuff.
