A captain in the US Capitol Police force who responded to the 6 January Capitol riot offered a harrowing first-hand account on Tuesday of her experience battling white supremacists and other pro-Trump elements.
Captain Carneysha Mendoza told senators at the first official hearing on the security breach that rioters nearly broke her arm amid the chaos. She and her fellow officers were gassed. Many were struck with blunt objects and beaten to the ground.
“I received chemical burns to my face that still have not healed to this day,” Ms Mendoza said.
The USCP captain, a veteran of the US Army, repeatedly referred to the riot as a “battle.”
“We could have had 10-times the amount of people working with us, and I still believe the battle would have been just as devastating,” she said, a testament to just how overwhelmed officers were as it took hours for the National Guard and supplemental police forces to arrive.

How can people defend the participants in the January 6 "protest" and be pro-police?

Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

It seems the Trump cultists only support the police when they're targeting minorities.
