Police union says 140 officers injured in Capitol riot
The physical toll on officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack by a pro-Trump mob is becoming clearer, with reports by police officials and federal prosecutors indicating that about 140 officers were injured, the head of the Capitol Police officers’ union said.
“I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” Gus Papathanasiou, union chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries.”
Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died after trying to defend the Capitol from rioters. One Capitol Police officer and one D.C. police officer who were responding on the scene have died by suicide since the attack.
And since Jan. 6, 38 Capitol Police employees have tested positive for the coronavirus, almost entirely officers and supervisors who responded to the riot, Papathanasiou said.

If watching windows get smashed and cops beaten to death, or attempts to beat them to death, or getting sprayed with bear spray, and then walking on in with the crowd who are searching for the Vice President while chanting "Hang Mike Pence!" is simply 'tourists getting caught up in the moment', then these nice tourists will see this as a victory and a validation of their belief that they really did nothing wrong.
At the very least, charge them with a crime that carries a stipulation that makes it illegal for them to own guns.
