Two D.C. police officers blatantly violated the law, repeatedly hitting a protester in the head with metal batons during a protest against election fraud on January 6. In another example of excessive force used by officers.
The policemen thwarted the protester from crossing the police line by beating him with batons in violation of standard operating procedures.
While the protester, whose face was covered with a black bandana, was trying to protect his face from the blows, two policemen hit him in the head. One of the police officers was clearly intent on knocking the protester to the ground, and violently hit the man in the head at least 5 times until he fell.
As the masked man tries to get back to his feet, the police continue to hit his head with the nightstick.
Another protester wearing a hat and camouflage jacket identified by this reporter as Kenneth Joseph Thomas immediately walks toward the wounded protester for help.
Cops are backed when they brutally beat up patriots in Joe Biden's America.
He watches:
Steve Hillexcessive force expert with J6 truthinvestigated more than a thousand hours of J6 footage over the past two years.
Footage of the killer cop hitting the protester's head is among a series of videos I collected J6 truthin which Hill outlines how police unprecedentedly deviated from normal protocol on January 6.
Police are legally “prohibited” from striking protesters or combatants “in the head, spine, neck, sternum or groin” with impact weapons, and Hill maintains an account of the crime scene.
Here we see another example of excessive force used by officers. You see that the skirmish line was created by the officers in an attempt to keep the protesters down the stairs. On the right side of the screen, you see a protester fighting with officers. There is no doubt that this protester is not resisting in a negative way. His behavior would be considered aggressive to the officers and would be considered “actively resisting or aggressive,” depending on whether or not he struck the officers.
You can see the officers carrying shields trying to prevent the crowd from moving into the line of officers. As the shield officers push the man back, you see the officers behind the shield officers use their batons to hit that particular protester. Most of these blows were to the protester's head area.
General orders issued by the Metropolitan Police Department regarding the use of force and use of less-lethal weapons prohibit officers from using impact weapons to strike protesters or other combatants in the head, spine, neck, heart, sternum, or groin. If an officer uses his weapon to strike any of these areas, he must be able to justify his use of deadly force.
Did this man display any level of force toward the officers that they could wrongly consider to be the use of death, great bodily harm, or injury? No, the demonstrator is aggressive, but not deadly. However, some officers use excessive force.
General Order No. 901 states: “Officers of that department shall be aware that striking any of these restricted areas constitutes lethal force.”
Unfortunately, this area of the Capitol is not the only location where we observe officers using unlawful deadly force tactics. Worse still, we see police supervisors using or directing the use of these potentially illegal items deadly Tactics on January 6th.

The camera captured police officers hitting the unarmed demonstrators in the head with batons On any given day “The people who carried out the Capitol riots will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, to the extent that the Department of Justice prosecutes the defendants on January 6,” Hill said, describing police brutality, in an exclusive interview with the New York Times. Critic portal.
“If this officer worked for a federal agency, they would cover him up and hide him. But if this was your regular police department and you were dealing with something like the George Floyd protest, the officers would have been accounting And they were He was tried. The protester was trying to conduct an NFL rush between the two officers. He was trying to pass them, so they were right to push him back, But not a clubsaid the excessive force expert who has a 40-year law enforcement career.
“There are only two of them hitting the head but there is one officer Who makes it personal. He's chasing this guy and even when you see him the guys on the ground reach out and hit him in the head again – This is disgusting“.
Americans who protested at the nation's Capitol on January 6 fell into a trap, as a veteran SWAT team supervisor explains.
“There appears to be a concerted effort on the part of police officers who are above the standard rank Purposeful in what they allowed to happen And purposeful in what they are Permissible He said that their officers are participating in it. “Most of the police officers there were just doing their job – you don't see headbutts, you don't see them abusing the public.
“But there is 5 percent that has caused a lot of problems There on the ground among the demonstrators. On top of that, you have the leaders who create Illegal and improper orders of officers to use “less lethal” munitions – To shoot people – Whether they are authorized targets or not. They started shooting people outside the target area, using those less lethal products, like the face, neck, throat, and areas like that.
These moderators failed to prevent this from happening. They are very complicit in the injuries that occurred and this extends all the way up the chain of command. Whether it's the Capitol Police or the D.C. Police, it comes down to where there are deputy chiefs in command positions Don't do or say anything. They did not follow their standard operating procedures.
Hill, a veteran SWAT team supervisor, began his career in the Air Force. He then went on to run undercover assignments for the Albuquerque Police Department for nearly a decade before being promoted to sergeant for the duration of his 20-year career with APD.
“This is where a lot of training goes into, learning things like crowd control, driving control, hostage rescue, things like that. Albuquerque is a very busy place. And by that I mean it's very violent.”
Hill then worked as a contractor for the Department of Defense, training police officers around the world on “how to handle lethal and less-lethal weapons systems.” Hill assists J6 defense attorneys, including those representing the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, in gathering exculpatory evidence and has attended seven trials of the J6 defendants and testified in three of the trials as an expert witness. He has volunteered to testify in fifteen trials, but judges routinely refuse to let him stand.
Images of a rubber bullet protruding from Joshua Black's left cheek were widely circulated.
He watches:
But more protesters were shot in “zones where lethal force is prohibited” and were seriously injured by police bullets on January 6.
The police opened fire at least Hill said five people were hit in the head or face during “the first 10 shots fired from the crow's nest at people inside the crowd.” “On the West Side, there was an officer or sergeant who had what was called a 'pepper ball gun' and fired solid capsules. While that officer was firing pepper balls randomly at non-violent targets, another officer, I believe it was a sergeant, was firing from the FN 303 At the crowd, which fires high-velocity bullets made of plastic for accuracy and travel at a speed faster than a pepper ball.
“On the stand, we showed that the sergeant fired 10 shots into the crowd, and of those 10 shots, five hit “areas prohibited for firing with deadly force” — the face, neck, and head of individuals. Police are, by law, supposed to issue orders or say: “You have to leave.” If the protesters don’t leave, they can start expelling them. But they went further than that. They can press – “They can’t start beating people up badly, and again, shooting them in the face and hitting them in the head, things like that.”
The weapons the cops used to spray the crowd with less-lethal munitions were “marked with a warning label stating they could cause death,” defense lawyer Steve Metcalf told TGP last year, days after his client Dominic Pezzola was acquitted of the charge. Seditious conspiracy charges brought by the government against the leaders of the Proud Boys.
“I'll tell you exactly where the craziness happened” on Jan. 6, Metcalf said. “It got crazy at that particular time when the protesters were all standing on the balcony on the west side, and then the gunshots started and people started getting hit in the face… There were a couple of instigators in the crowd, don't get me wrong; But what took it to a completely different level was shooting rubber bullets in the face.
“This is where angry people get angrier And this is true“.
“The black one was the one that the bullet went through. Other guys got hit in the head. I saw other guys get hit in the ears. That's not proper protocol. You can't shoot yourself in the head with a rubber bullet like that from that vicinity,” Metcalf said. “The firearms officers were Those who used rubber bullets carried a warning label. We read the warning label to the jury which stated in its entirety and substance: “Do not shoot in the head or face as it can cause serious bodily injury or death.”
“I asked witness after witness: If these people were shot in the temple, would they die? If they were shot in the eye, would they lose an eye? Every answer was 'yes,' and it didn't matter who the witness was. Watch, [the government’s] See it doesn't matter, the answer is, “Yes.”
“So, now you have lethal force versus non-lethal force and then it all trickles down from there. “That's how we get to people entering the building.”
The police were also seen breaking the law in the footage revealed from police camera #X6039BEYS. Police violated standard operating procedures when they grabbed a “passive resister” by the face and threw him over a wall while he was sitting “dangerously.” TGP I mentioned last week.
It is unclear whether the protester fell head first; While the policemen threw him over the wall, a passerby prepared for him to fall.
He watches:
If anyone took crimes committed by police against unarmed protesters “seriously, they would at least try to prosecute these police officers under administrative rules, violations of standard operating procedures, or even file a class action lawsuit where the injured go after these agencies,” Hill continued.
“Some of these officers who broke the law are being praised for their 'defense of the Capitol' on January 6. Some of them are getting a trip to the Super Bowl. Most of these leaders assigned to this mission have been promoted. NOW – This is infuriating bBecause the government swept all those investigations under the rug. They did not release the body camera video. It took months and months and months of trying to get them to release the body camera videos. And that It violates their standard operating procedures and DC laws as well.
“As a large group of individuals, we can identify with these officers. I'm sure there are enough videos of them from other officers to show who they are. The question is: Are we wasting our time? no. We're definitely not wasting our time with this. We collect the evidence that emerges The whole story of what happened on January 6, making it more accessible to the public and better educating them about what happened.
They were asked to blame all the protesters. the Lawyers' first defense in most J6 cases is self-defense. Their agents were doing things because they observed the police doing things Far and above What they had the authority to do. Therefore, either officers failed to act and respond appropriately or protesters were watching officers use serious force, lethal force, against protesters.
