FILE - This still frame from Metropolitan Police Department body worn camera video shows Thomas Webster, in red jacket, at a barricade line at on the west front of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. (Metropolitan Police Department via AP, File)
Body camera video captured a “rage-filled” retired police officer attacking one of the outnumbered police officers trying to hold off a mob of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol, a federal prosecutor told jurors Tuesday.
But a defense attorney said another video from a different angle shows that former New York City police officer and Marine Corps veteran Thomas Webster acted in self-defense after a Metropolitan Police Department officer punched him first.

I'm waiting to see all the hoopla over the Antifa riots. You know...the ones with billions of dollars in damage done to a bunch of cities? I'm sure the news will be covering those very soon like they do with these.
Rage filled? Looks like a guy waving a flag to me.

Sgt (Join to see) - If you do not believe that 6 January was an attempt to overthrow the government, (as has been confessed by some) then I waste my time trying to discuss this with you.

MSG Stan Hutchison - If you think Jan 6 was an attempt to overthrow the government, I'll throw this one at you....
During the 4 years of Trump's presidency, the Democrats tried repeatedly to overthrow the duly elected President. Hell, you have democrats calling for his impeachment before he was even sworn in.
I'm pretty much always an open mind. So, if you want to convince me that Jan 6 was worse than 4 years of democrats lying about Trump, you're going to have to try a whole lot harder.

Sgt (Join to see) - Your attempt to whitewash Trump shows me I would just be wasting my time. The evidence is out there, but if you refuse to accept it, so be it.
Have a great day.

MSG Stan Hutchison - "the evidence is out there..." Is that the same evidence that Schiff has said he's seen that proves Trump colluded with Russia? Why haven't we seen it yet?
I'll tell you why....there is none.

The people there are all incredibly lucky the cops didn't draw their weapons and empty their magazines. People have been shot in this country for far less.

Sgt John Steinmeier yup you’re right, guess that’s how I got all my badges and verified and all. Sorry I think lethal force should be authorized to protect the capital building. Sorry you don’t think there should be consequences to breaking the law.
