FBI Releases 11 New Videos of Capitol Riot Assaults on Six-Month Anniversary
Source: Newsweek
To mark the six-month anniversary of the January 6 Capitol riot, the FBI has released 11 videos showing suspects allegedly committing assaults against law enforcement officers during the attempted insurrection.
Thus far, the FBI has arrested over 500 people believed to have participated in the violent attempt to stop Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. More than 100 were arrested for allegedly assaulting law enforcement officers. The FBI released the new videos in the hopes that viewers can help authorities locate and arrest 11 other men suspected of attacking police.
Most of the new videos are less than a minute in length. They all feature men who appear to be white.
In one video, a white man with a grey beard pulls down an officer who is then kicked and punched by fellow insurrectionists. Another video features an insurrectionist putting an officer in a headlock, then pulling the officer head-first to the ground. In several instances, the men try to grab officers' batons. One clip shows insurrectionists surrounding an officer as they declare, "This is a hostage."

(9,008 posts)Did they seize such a huge cache of video that it has taken this long to go thru all of them?
Have they had them in storage and are dribbling them out for effect?
Are they obtaining these vids from those they have arrested, by going thru their phones and cameras?
Everybody has a camera.these days. Even the stupidest fools.
