“Nothing is gonna help,” one officer said, as another added, “the wind is at us!”
“We’ve hit em’ with a-lot of pain compliance, but you’re hitting innocent people,” the officer went on.
“And not only that, we’re taking out one and ten of them are getting more angrier,” the other said.
“We’re multipling them by hitting em’.”
Additionally, a disturbing clip shows a Capitol Police officer pushing an elderly Trump supporter, further fueling anger among the protesters.
It is noted that House Speaker Mike Johnson has pledged to release all of the January 6 footage in the near future.
