@uscapitol steps lost:
👮misfires gas @ north stands =forces 👮‍♂️brass 2 flee 2 South stands
THEN flood
Tells cops not 2 go reinforce @FormerFeds @julie_kelly2 @DarrenJBeattie
@gatewaypundit joins Steve Bannon to break new Jan 6 🎥 of RAY EPPS, again, at front of protesters as 👮‍♂️ barrier broken at @uscapitol steps
@DarrenJBeattie broke details of Epps at the 1st Capitol Grounds beach at Peace Monument, now he’s 1st on Capitol Steps
And still free!
Listen 2 @DCPoliceDept👮‍♂️🗣️ w on scene Cdr:
Cdr: “Wind is at us, we can hit them w a lot of pain compliance [stinger balls, gas] but ur hitting INNOCENT people”
👮‍♂️: “And not only that, we’re taking out 1, & 10 of them are getting angrier. We’re multiplying them by hitting them”
Media & DC elites ❤️ DOJ Indictments & 🎥 calling out “stack” or “tactical column” of Oath Keepers used 2 walk up stairs & stay together. Here’s @DCPoliceDept doing same maneuver
Also note compliant protester asked by 👮‍♂️ 2 get down so he can stand higher 2 get view of crowd
@DCPoliceDept Lapitsky sees👩shove👮in Rotunda -14:59:24
👮responds w face punch b4 she’s restrained by coworkers
Man🗣️👮‍♂️: “Take care of that officer right now, she’s going 2 cause a real problem”
Fight 1m later,👮‍♂️throws punches on down protester -15:01:04
That’s Bigo🗣️re:🇺🇸
This tall @CapitolPolice bicycle officer on Jan 6 threw Dr Austin Harris out of the vicinity of @ForAshli Babbitt while he was rendering aid.
We know Lt Michael Byrd
Would be nice to know this officer too.
This @CapitolPolice officer was at the top of stairs over @ForAshli Babbitt on Jan 6 after she’s shot
Trying 2 clear people out of Speaker’s Lobby 🚪, he yelled:
“She’s gonna fucking die! You wanna be next? Get out!”
We know Lt Michael Byrd’s name
Would be nice to know his
Jan 6 15:47, u can hear over @DCPoliceDept radios in the @uscapitol Rotunda:
“All personnel in the west front, mask up!”
“9Line the roof, mask up! West front, line the rod, mask up! We’re getting ready to deploy another round of OC (oleoresin capsicum spray), pepper spray!”
📺 French news reporter from early Jan 6 (pre-breach) at East side of US Capitol. You can clearly see @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept are already overwhelmed
Hundreds of protesters already at fence line; we count about 26x👮‍♂️
Completely unprepared
Cops have 0 crowd control gear
More 🎥 from @FormerFeds:
Zoom/crop of @uscapitol East breach through VERY thin @DCPoliceDept @CapitolPolice line
We judge initial breach consisted of 1 group (red) <5 people removing fence rail
Another solo 👨(yellow) 50 ft away pulling down a fence rail
Pathetic👮‍♂️presence
It is conveinent that @CapitolPolice do not wear body cams. Ray Epps’ presence & words aren’t captured on👮‍♂️ cam as he was in exactly the right place 4 the 2nd time, at point of breach
He was there at the 1st Capitol Grounds breach at the Peace Memorial
Need 🎥 from crowd
We’ve put together scenes of @DCPoliceDept gas misfire on @uscapitol north stands, west side steps, which gassed out back👮‍♂️line & leadership support on Jan 6
Synced “breach” video shown at @January6thCmte hearing in 🎥 2, that ONLY shows breach after gas fired; Cmte omits gas 🎥
NOW compare AUDIO experience b/t:
@DCPoliceDept body cam from Officer Thau, though chaotic, even he speaks calmly to protesters & passes some 👮‍♂️s still resting as the crowd merges
@January6thCmte body cam evidence w police 📻, played 2 terrorize Congress & 📺
2 diff stories
It’s interesting that on January 6, the Proud Boys walked by Peace Memorial @uscapitol, & kept walking to East side, remaining behind barriers
Ray Epps, on the other hand, was at (and we would allege directing) the initial breach at Peace Mem, followed by breach 2 at West Steps
Jan 6 - East side of @uscapitol, @CapitolPolice give false impression to crowd that front line 👮‍♂️ were asking their leadership if crowd could go up to East steps & protest
Later, 1 cop tells crowd they can keep pushing; multiple 👊🏻 bumps w cops
🎩 @FormerFeds
Two pieces of 🎥 placed side by side that give a sense of the epic scale & size of the crowd on January 6th 2021, as people head to, & stand at the West Side of @uscapitol
Only several hundred out of tens or hundreds of thousands of people went inside
🎩 @JackPosobiec & @VICE
Ray Epps has been seen on @uscapitol steps helping shove a giant @realDonaldTrump sign into @DCPoliceDept & @CapitolPolice, & has never been arrested
An LA Times reporter caught him on camera afterwards, back in the crowd, talking to people
Remember the guy @DarrenJBeattie ✍️ wearing 🕶️ & red hat, smoothly taking down fence posts on the west @uscapitol lawn?
Well, on the north east corner of @uscapitol, man in grey jacket 👀, face covered & white cap removes “Area Closed” signs similarly
@julie_kelly2 @FormerFeds
So, north side of @uscapitol, & specifically NE corner of Capitol grounds is important for 2 reasons on Jan 6:
1) Pokes holes in DOJ “Restricted Grounds” for SOME territory (yellow highlight)
2) Low 👮‍♂️ security & fall of NE corner leads to East side @uscapitol breaches x2
DOJ indictments for trespassers cite @uscapitol as Restricted Grounds, highlighted in red
Metal bike fences were plentiful, but didn’t have “Area Closed” signs
These signs were installed on green mesh fences w metal posts, by order of Capitol Police Board for Inauguration Day
As mentioned, “Area Closed” fencing is deliberately removed by few protesters, who clearly target fence posts & signs
We highlight in following walkthrough:
“Area closed” fencing = purple lines
Yellow = metal bike rack fences (no signs)
Red = restricted grounds line (per DOJ)
From @uscapitol CCTV 🎥, u see NE corner has bike rack fencing from walkway to road, on both sides of Delaware Ave NE, & along eastern perimeter of East side Capitol plaza
“Area closed” signs & fence along near grass perimeter only
NW drive, along Capitol, is completely open
In fact, entire northern side of bike fence along @uscapitol has ZERO “Area Closed” signs
Bike fence on Constitution Ave, & along building’s “NW drive,” -which doesn’t appear blocked off- stands naked & permeable
Impossible to tell if public prohibited or lawn care issue
U see in 🎥 along @uscapitol’s north side, & on Constitution… metal bike fences have no signs, but inner ring around grass, green mesh fence w “Area Closed” signs abound
How many people charged w trespassing on grounds never crossed over “area closed” sign/fence line?
Back at Peace Memorial, after Ray Epps & co make initial breach, u can see 👮‍♂️ in white trucks aren’t enforcing Restricted Area
Again, metal bike rack fences have no signs
Only green mesh fence along Northwest Drive has “Area Closed” signage - already inside Restricted Grounds
At Peace Memorial, u can see metal fence w no signs (yellow & blue) along 1st St NW, and @CapitolPolice letting people through w/out resistance
The mesh fence w “Area Closed” signs is behind (in purple) & clearly labeled
North edge of Restricted Grounds was unclear & entrapment
Now… 2nd important part of the Northeast corner of the @uscapitol
The lack of @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept on the NE corner will break the 👮‍♂️ line…
THEN, when protesters on East plaza of @uscapitol see NE breakthrough, THEY’RE inspired & push through
Capitol Steps taken
First, let’s see the NE corner fall from the ground level
The green mesh fence and metal posts are torn down first, flooding protestors to the corner
More arrive from Constitution Ave; just a few protestors - like always - attempt and succeed at breaking the 👮‍♂️ fence line
Let’s watch the NE @uscapitol fence line break again, and then you can see the East plaza side breakthrough next
Consider how few @CapitolPolice and @DCPoliceDept are present compared to the number of protesters
This was embarrassing security, @uscapitol completely unprepared
1/2 Finally, 2 put @uscapitol East side breach together, let’s watch the CCTV 🎥 with all of these actions in mind, & witness the lack of law enforcement presence & preparedness
The lack of 👮‍♂️ & security measures seems deliberate … there was literally 0 chance at crowd control
2/2 Finally, 2 put @uscapitol East side breach together, let’s watch the CCTV 🎥 with all of these actions in mind, & witness the lack of law enforcement presence & preparedness
The lack of 👮‍♂️ & security measures seems deliberate … there was literally 0 chance at crowd control
Ray Epps:
1) First at breach of @uscapitol grounds at Peace Monument (yellow)
2) First at beach at lower Capitol steps (red), and
3) First at beach at upper plaza steps (blue)
Assaulted👮‍♂️ w giant sign thrown on👮‍♂️
Called/recruited ppl 2 go into Capitol Jan 5+6
Still free
Here’s a sequence of Jan 6 🎥 rarely put together, & NEVER by @January6thCmte
Remember 👮‍♂️ w a MAGA hat?
Here he is coordinating w Oath Keepers OUTSIDE the @uscapitol to go INTO building & help👮‍♂️trapped inside get OUTSIDE
Yes, some Oath Keepers coordinated a 👮‍♂️rescue mission
Nichols & Steve, two Oath Keepers and others would go into the @uscapitol at the request of a desperate @CapitolPolice lieutenant and rescue 15 riot-gear-clad officers and one uniformed officer trapped inside
You won’t hear that from @January6thCmte
theepochtimes.com
Somehow @January6thCmte missed 🎥: @DCPoliceDept using shields & kicks 2 knock down woman on steps
She gets back up 2 top step only 2 have 👮‍♂️shove her down ENTIRE flight of stairs… THAT’s what makes crowd angry
She gets up only 2b pepper sprayed directly in 👀
🎩@FormerFeds
Jan 6 defendants and whistleblowers continue to have civil rights abuses - DC District Court penalizing 🇺🇸citizens from speaking with @GOP members of Congress
@SpeakerPelosi’s own daughter thinks the DOJ prosecutions of Jan 6 protesters is outrageous… for doing nothing
@DCPoliceDept body cam 🎥 of Ray Epps parading back & forth on @uscapitol steps, organizing & trying to direct/ redirect protesters on Jan 6
His back primarily to👮‍♂️, cool & calm
Ray Epps is an unindicted free man; @January6thCmte & @AdamKinzinger’s model citizen
🎩 @FormerFeds
Ray Epps continue to loiter right at the front lines of the @uscapitol steps, calmly talking to members of the crowd
There are additional @CapitolPolice standing at that front line… We want to see the body cameras 🎥 📸
CBS news correspondent @MacFarlaneNews added the large wheeled Trump sign thrown into @CapitolPolice on the west steps to his list of weapons during the “armed insurrection”
Ray Epps helped heave that sign into 👮‍♂️
Haven’t seen @MacFarlaneNews track Epps down for an interview
Ray Epps was in the crowd who helped lift up the Trump sign & push it into the line of police 👮‍♂️ on the West side of @uscapitol ~1:40 pm
(original 🎥 by Just Another Channel & Savanah Hernandez)
CBS News’ @MacFarlaneNews has yet 2 interview Epps, a free & protected man
On Jan 6 @CapitolPolice behind front lines stood above & sprayed likely pepper balls into the crowd
U can see they knew it was ineffective & useless
A female👮‍♂️blasts crowd below w fellow @CapitolPolice👮‍♂️right in line of fire🔫
It’s like @CapitolPolice role playing Call of Duty
Incredible 🧵
Multiple undercover DOJ officers in DC n Jan 6 on new @DCPoliceDept body camera footage
Check out @FreeStateWill 👇
Were these 👮‍♂️ at @uscapitol … or inside?
@DCPoliceDept retreated to upper levels of @uscapitol after fellow officers misfired tear gas on lower plaza and pushed 👮‍♂️ brass out. Crowd finally broke through police line.
Here this @DCPoliceDept verbalizes his frustration… he thinks 👮‍♂️ leadership set the line officers up
Really odd that Acting US Attorney for DC, Michael Sherwin, is undercover on Jan 6 w @DCPoliceDept brass…
It’s a Wednesday, a business day, at noon. DC 👮‍♂️ in uniform, and the DC Attorney isn’t in a suit? He’s dressed to blend in.
Showing goes on to prosecute hundreds of 🇺🇸s
Undercover & armed DOJ agents on Jan 6 were stopped by @DCPoliceDept after being correctly suspected of carrying 🔫
Gave credentials (the woman didn’t) & all said they were armed
Are these faces at @uscapitol? Inside? What were they doing/saying?
What were their assignments?
Cam 🎥 of @CapitolPolice Carlos Mejia at report of men w🔫on Jan6 - men released bc inert novelty item
But ~50👮‍♂️on fake event; not @uscapitol
Why’s DC Attorney Sherwin needed? No 👮‍♂️role
THEN @ end Mejia begins🗣️about convo w CDR, but he &👮‍♂️turn off body cams
🎩@FreeStateWill
DC Attorney Sherwin opened Jan 6 prosecutions @DOJ
He said: “U are going 2b charged based on conduct only; not what u posted about election, not what u may have posted about diff political views”
💯 false: Social media & political views ALL been used by DOJ as evidence of guilt
🚨@CapitolPolice Jan 6 “lookout” team on🎥
👮‍♂️tipped 👨 w poss🔫 by silver van, tryin 2 coord w “lookout”
At arrival: man in green coat, 2x men w masks: 1 on📱(w cop?), 1 on curb
As👮‍♂️pass, lookout directs: “2 ur right, 2 ur right”
👮‍♂️directs👮‍♂️turn from lookout
👨w legal knife
📺 Play by play of @CapitolPolice lookout team… our suspicion 📖👇👀
White guy in green coat plays dumb, nervous chatter w cop at first… appears to motion/ tap black guy in mask on phone who looks back, spooked, gets to side. He could be on phone w cop behind him.
Green…
Jake Angeli, also known as QAnon Shaman of Jan 6, is seen on @DCPoliceDept Officer Luke Foskett’s body cam 🎥
Angeli walks right by dozen @CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept w/out even being questioned, impeded… NOTHING
Up the steps he goes, unimpeded, b4 reaching Senate floor
@DCPoliceDept’s Foskett’s body cam🎥
Lack of 👮‍♂️ prep; crowd just walks by
“We need Gerard Butler [from 300]; what’s it? Die Hard? I think we’re gonna need more FBI guys”
“Where can we start? Dude I don’t fuckin know. U wanna talk about getting caught w ur pants down? Wow!”
@DCPoliceDept Foskett and other officer on a January 6th:
“They’ve [the protesters] been pretty cool once we encounter them, right?”
“Yea, that’s, I mean, that’s their M.O. [modus operandi]”
@DCPoliceDept Foskett body cam 🎥:
Senior @DCPoliceDept to LT at 3:02pm on Jan 6
“I just talked to our Watch Commander, he said let’s monitor & not just let them trash the place. So I asked how hard to you want to hold this group?”
“We’re gonna hold them, we got it.”
@DCPoliceDept discuss @ForAshli Babbitt killed
👮‍♂️[Campbell?]: “I didn’t have my mask; Those poor bastards, they deployed CS & bear spray CONSTANTLY on them downstairs. Some of my platoon, everybody, CDR Kyle, fuckin’ insane. I couldn’t take it, couldn’t breathe, I had 2 get out”
@DCPoliceDept officer Foskett tries to track down @CapitolPolice unit who arrested & cuffed protester, now sitting on Rotunda floor
They have no idea
@DCPoliceDept & @CapitolPolice let him go & walk him out of @uscapitol
Does his lawyer know👮‍♂️have no idea why he’s arrested?
Here’s an interesting @DCPoliceDept revelation.
Taking inventory of munitions left:
Officer T. Du[mant?] tells @DCPoliceDept T. Miller: “I got 2x Sting Balls… that I forgot to turn in” 😉
Miller: “I don’t want to hear that”
@DCPoliceDept admitting to stealing cop munitions
@DCPoliceDept Miller does blame Trump, says not Antifa
BUT: “We shoulda had ppl up here, I’m very pissed. [Boss says] we’re not going, we’ve got clear responsibility, can’t send our guys in [@uscapitol] there’s ppl all over [DC] w🔫”
Fake🔫info🛑@DCPoliceDept being @uscapitol
From @DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 of Anthony Alioto:
He sprays a protester who appears to be throwing a water bottle at police
Then another 👮‍♂️ follows up w more spray vs man, but proceeds to then blanket spray entire arc of people who clearly aren’t being violent
Little discipline
@DCPoliceDept Anthony Alioto Bodycam 🎥
At 13:40 on Jan 6, Alioto tells👮‍♂️to not allow Robert Glover, on scene commander 4 @DCPoliceDept, 2 authorize use of CS gas due to wind blowing gas right back at 👮‍♂️
45 mins later, ~1425, CS gas misfire forced police leadership off plaza
@DCPoliceDept Alioto Bodycam 🎥 Jan 6
Alioto 👀 everywhere 4 on scene CDR Robert Glover; “Where’s Glover at?”
Glover seems uncoordinated, distracted, disorganized
Alioto: “I just need u 2 stay w us & we’ll get it done”
@CapitolPolice & @DCPoliceDept can’t coord 2 retake plaza
2:05pm: Bodycam 🎥 of @DCPoliceDept Officer Anthony Alioto confirms CS gas authorized vs Jan 6 crowd
Alioto & other👮‍♂️continue 2 advise against use due 2 wind blowing back
2:25pm: Officer Thau 🎥 captures “Rich” misfiring CS gas, forcing👮‍♂️2 flee
@uscapitol steps fall mins later
As a side note… we noticed that @CapitolPolice riot officers at front line of @uscapitol west plaza sometimes consisted of 👮‍♂️ who were at least 1-2 feet shorter than average person around them
Probably the starkest example below, the officer 2nd from right can’t even be 5 foot
Also… the press basically made the QAnon Shaman an international figure.
How did the human 🇺🇸 🦅 skate by relatively unnoticed?
@DCPoliceDept on Jan 6 front line of @uscapitol actually got into fights w each other & had 2b pulled apart ~ 1:45pm
Officer (name not legible) yelling at [presumably] subordinate:
“I tell you to do something, you do it!”
Sr officer notes this area of line is most fragile
It’s alarming that @DCPoliceDept Officer Thau dispensed pepper spray 2 ft behind @CapitolPolice & 1 ft below their heads
Thau tased multiple protesters, lobbed Sting bombs into crowd, saturated this crowd w pepper spray, & rushed Officer Rich, who misfired CS gas on fellow👮‍♂️
At 2:16pm on @uscapitol west steps, @DCPoliceDept Officer Alioto calls Assistant Chief of Police, Jeffery Carroll (“Z A/C Carrol” on 📱)
Simple ask: more 👮‍♂️… [crowd control munitions] & pepper spray ineffective
“We need them up here, I wouldn’t call you if I didn’t think so”
At 2:19pm @DCPoliceDept Officer Alioto confers w 👮‍♂️, Thau, & CDR John Haines on possible retreat options
Haines furious at idea of giving up @uscapitol steps, but understands
Alioto & Thau discuss launching CS gas as far away as possible, “full mechanical,” then fall back
West Plaza falls: 2x body cam🎥
2:05pm: @DCPoliceDept authorize CS gas
2:25:06pm:👮‍♂️Alioto calls imminent CS gas deployment [from him]
2:25:22pm: Alioto throws CS north
2:25:45pm: 👮‍♂️Thau & “Rich” misfire CS right behind north👮‍♂️line, 👮‍♂️ flee
2:27:50pm: Empty plaza=crowd surges
Let’s focus on @DCPoliceDept deployment of CS gas at crowd on north end of @uscapitol steps/plaza
Alioto’s initial gas canister appears thrown BACK at👮‍♂️line, along w smoke 💣
Thau/Rich’s CS misfire at👮‍♂️line can be HEARD on Alioto’s body 📸 , clinking across ground at his feet
Where is the @DCPoliceDept body cam 🎥 of Ray Epps “trying to deescalate?”
They played it in Epps’ @January6thCmte transcribed deposition. Exhibit 13.
Epps said he took few steps into @uscapitol “platform;” [middle] scaffolding. PRESUME it refers 2 tower in center of plaza w “Scaffold CDR” & bullhorn
Where’s 🎥 of him helping man on Capitol steps w fibrillation? Helping 2 lawn & leaning on 🌲? Handing off to another medic?
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:
LT: “Who threw it [CS gas] up top? That’s what I need”
Alioto: “Me, I did… & then they [crowd] picked it up and threw it back. They have the welder’s gloves. They have welder’s gloves so they threw it back”
CS canisters are hot & can burn when touched
🚨 @DCPoliceDept Alioto body 🎥:
2:35:44pm: 👮‍♂️retreat from west @uscapitol plaza 2 upper terrace, Alioto threw 2nd CS canister @ crowd below
CS gas thrown back @ officers above
👮‍♂️kept risking gassing fellow 👮‍♂️
At least 2-3c, decision 2 use CS resulted in mass👮‍♂️-on-👮‍♂️injuries
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:
Cops chat CS gas employed by Alioto:
“That was you? [Fucked up …] You got us! You don’t understand how bad you got me and Tara.”
Tara: “You [Alioto] chased us upstairs” [into the building]
Alioto explains situation reasonably
“Ya gotta do something”
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:
@CapitolPolice Officer w team & @ATFHQ tactical team comes barreling down @uscapitol hall outside House Floor w gun light on & 🔫 drawn
Alioto calms him & suggests w hand that 👮‍♂️holster gun
Amped👮‍♂️whips hat off; concerned House Gallery not secure
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥:
Hit by pepper spray, he washes out👀, walking off pain at stairs
Another👮‍♂️checks on him & says “I got a good [📱 pic] here,” but only if body cam turned off
They take selfie; Alioto clearly pretends 2 wipe eyes, covering 📷 w rag; what pic did👮‍♂️show?🤔
@DCPoliceDept Alioto 🎥
Police prepare to gas entire crowd on West @uscapitol steps
Alioto again explains 2 @DCPoliceDept Inspector that crowd successfully threw back CS canisters; ineffective
Inspector👮‍♂️thinks, pauses, then asks Alioto 2 shut off body 📷
What was then said?
Bodycam footage 🎥 from @DCPoliceDept Officer Lawrence Lazewski shows another angle on the front line of @uscapitol west steps/plaza, when the large wheeled Trump sign was pushed forward into 👮‍♂️
The same sign that Ray Epps helped move forward
@DCPoliceDept Lazewski body cam 🎥 sees Ray Epps on West plaza as👮‍♂️step out of scaffolding
Epps to👮‍♂️: “Hey guys, guys, they’re [protesters] not the enemy. They’re not the enemy. Appreciate u guys [👮‍♂️]. We appreciate u guys”
Epps in plaza 13:13:25pm; does it match testimony? 🤔
This does not appear 2b Ray Epps’ @January6thCmte Exhibit 13 🎥 in testimony
#13 seems 2 imply metal fence at bottom of plaza/west steps still up, & he’s b/t👮‍♂️& protesters after arriving at steps - much earlier
27 mins after THIS 🎥 , Epps is pushing Trump sign at 13:40pm
After 📖~100pgs @January6thCmte Epps testimony, his story = helpful witness, wanted 2 deescalate, 💯 not tied 2 any LE/USG Agency
Problem: 🎥 drips out, shows him aware of 🛑grounds, trespass/parading, assaulting👮‍♂️w sign, & intent 2 go in Capitol on Jan5
Others in prison 4 less
Great time lapse of the @uscapitol West steps and plaza on January 6
@DCPoliceDept Body cam 🎥 of 👮‍♂️Ricardo Perez
A sign of DC C19 times & misplaced priorities… do u know what👮‍♂️were worried about on Jan 6?
C19 policies
Perez trying 2 mend broken mask on West steps. Fellow👮‍♂️says don’t worry about it
“I just don’t wanna get written up for it”
@DCPoliceDept Perez body🎥 mix
2:23pm Perez @ top west side

@DCPoliceDept Ricardo Perez body🎥 :
At 2:25pm, DC Metro👮‍♂️Alioto threw CS gas & DC Metro👮‍♂️ Khoury misfired CS gas @uscapitol lower plaza, west side
2:46:48pm: DC Metro👮‍♂️ Perez complains about lingering CS mist STILL around @uscapitol 10+ min later
Cops gassed themselves out
@DCPoliceDept Officer Ricardo Perez’ camera 🎥 picks up another unidentified MPD officer’s opinion of the use of CS gas @uscapitol on Jan 6:
“Quit doing that CS dude, they need to be put [in bed?]… It’s fucking everybody up!”
14:45:48pm: @DCPoliceDept Ricardo Perez’s body cam 🎥 picks up police radio 📻 call reporting LT Michael Byrd shot @ForAshli Babbitt in Speaker’s Lobby of @uscapitol House Floor

Downing runs by Officer Sicknick as he goes down stairs
CS gas pours down👮‍♂️line after DC Metro’s Alioto & Khaury’s CS blows back
@DCPoliceDept flee; 2 mins later crowd surges & steps fall
@DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 from Officer Lawrence Lazewski demonstrates just one of many reasons why police ran low of crowd control pain compliance
Fire hose spraying of OC pepper spray across people whenever an object is thrown. So many protesters not involved get soaked in OC
From 1:47pm - 2:09pm, Ray Epps is STILL visible in @uscapitol crowd 2 south of 📺 camera scaffolding on west plaza
@DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 of Lawrence Lazewski
Epps said in Jan 6 testimony he texted his nephew at 2:12pm & was on his way back to hotel, away from Capitol complex
@January6thCmte📄:
Asked of 2:12pm txt 2 nephew: helping 2 “orchestrate it”
Epps: “If I answered him that means I was on @ 2:12, I was on my way back 2 hotel room”
Q: “Okay. So, @ this point, ur now away from Capitol Complex?”
Epps: “Exactly”
Epps STILL on steps @ 2:09pm📺
@DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 of Lazewski
After DC Metro 👮‍♂️ Khoury & Alioto deploy CS gas & cloud begins 2 come back on 👮‍♂️, one protester in middle of the west plaza notices👮‍♂️fleeing:
“Your guys are taking off. Don’t u guys get trained 4 this [gas]? Those other guys are leaving!”
@DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 of Lazewski
Many clips already of DC Metro👮‍♂️: “They set us the fuck up… let them [protesters] take this morherfucker [@uscapitol] building”
But notice @ end, MPD’s👮S.SERRATOS: “I’m hot, I’m hot!”
Her body cam 📸 is on/hot - worried that👂terrible
@DCPoliceDept Bodycam 🎥 of Lazewski
@DCPoliceDept scramble 2 figure out where the platoon’s gas masks are - parked in a van blocks away - as they were caught totally off guard about the CS gas
Lazewski & others warn fresh 👮‍♂️ arriving to mask up, as they continue 2 choke
@DCPoliceDept Lazewski Bodycam 🎥
🚨 Holy crap 👇🚨
👮‍♂️DC Metro angry, frustrated, complaining of CS gas & no prep by police leaders
“Let us know [about CS]!” “I didn’t know we were coming up 2 this, I woulda made sure we all had our masks” “They set us up to fail” “They did”…
Recall @DCPoliceDept Miller🎥
“We shoulda had ppl up here, I’m very pissed about that. [Boss says] we’re not going, we’ve got other responsibilities, can’t send our guys in there [@uscapitol] there’s ppl all over the city w🔫”
Fake/hyped Intel on🔫 =🛑 DC Metro being @uscapitol
