LTC David Brown - why not use a more current, and accurate report? https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/04/capitol-attack-investigation
"[D]espite initial images of some Capitol Police officers posing for selfies with some of the January 6 rioters and apparently waving the crowd through the building, footage showed 'savage hand-to-hand combat in which outnumbered police were attacked and beaten, pepper sprayed and bludgeoned with poles, batons and even a hockey stick and a skateboard,' and while inside the building, 'police beat back fierce crowds attempting to breach the rooms where lawmakers were being evacuated.'"
But go ahead and spread the lie, if that's what you want. It's what cult followers of Bunkerboy Donnie do.

Capt Gregory Prickett - Vanity Fair? Ok what ever. So Capital Hill police officers were told to not go after Trump supporters? I don’t see how that conflicts with what I posted or supports your position. Accurate? NPR doesn’t pass the litmus test? Was the New York Times accurate? Is vanity Fair accurate?

Capt Gregory Prickett - Donald Trump was tried and found not guilty so your point? People are Innocent until proven guilty. What part of peacefully isn’t clear.

LTC David Brown - you really don't understand the difference between a criminal trial and an impeachment, do you? The impeachment trial of Trump did not have a finding of "not guilty." He's still subject to criminal prosecution, if the US Attorney for the District of Columbia wants to charge him.

Capt Gregory Prickett - so charge him, until then you can speculate all you want. Again, how many people have been charged with insurrection? People are innocent until proven guilty. I do believe they need to be charged and indicted before a trial and then proven guilty, but your the lawyer. You can call the Jan 6th riot what ever you want, it doesn’t make it true.
