(CNN) From the mob, a seemingly unidentifiable hand reaches out with a Taser, in an attack that would leave DC Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone begging for his life.
"I was beaten from, like, every direction. And then tased a number of times on the back of my neck," Fanone would later tell CNN, adding that he suffered a heart attack from the Taser assault. "I just remember yelling out that I have kids."
Forrest Rogers and the other internet sleuths known as the "Deep State Dogs" saw the interview and were determined to find out who was behind the Taser attack.
"I could not rest until he was apprehended, especially after seeing his first interview with CNN," Rogers, the Deep State Dogs spokesman, said. "It broke my heart."

The amount of time and work they put into identifying insurrectionists is amazing.
They track down pictures from other rallies across the country, research equipment and clothing, deep dive into social media, etc. The FBI cites the information in lots of the charging documents.

I cant even figure out how to post a picture on DU and these people from around the country have tracked these murderous fuckers down.
I am in awe.
