The police were not the objective, but they were in harm’s way trying to do their jobs. They were assaulted. Zero question about that.
The criminals need to face jail time.

I appreciate the additional information/comments. Unfortunately they didn't answer the question as to whether you personally believe any officers were attacked. Not asking about reporting, commentary, etc. Asking about the video footage of officers being attacked by the mob (and those people now being indicted for the same.)
Do you believe that video evidence?
This is John Sullivan. Anarchist and not a Trumpist. Arrested and charged.
This from the Left friendly Washington Post:
”[He’s a speedskater. He organizes protests, alienating activists on both ends of the political spectrum. He drove an Uber. And his 40-minute video following rioters through the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, capturing the fatal shooting of a Trump supporter, has placed John Earle Sullivan — “Activist John” — at the center of a conservative campaign to blame liberal groups for the Capitol siege.
The video also landed him in jail. Federal authorities tracking down Capitol trespassers watched Sullivan’s video, interviewed him and then obtained warrants Thursday charging him with causing a civil disorder, trespassing and disorderly conduct. Sullivan repeatedly exhorted rioters to enter the building and overwhelm police, and seemed to convince Capitol Police officers to walk away from the glass door entry to the House Speaker’s Lobby, his video shows. Moments later, with Sullivan screaming warnings about a gun, rioter Ashli Babbitt is shot and killed on the video by a Capitol Police officer.
Video shows moments leading up to fatal Capitol shooting on Jan. 6
The Post obtained video showing the chaotic moment before 35-year-old Ashli Babbitt was fatally shot as rioters rushed toward the Speaker's Lobby. (The Washington Post)
His video attracted the attention of right-wing leaders, including President Trump’s lawyer, Rudolph W. Giuliani, who said it showed that antifa was the true organizer of the attack; and Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.), who called Sullivan a “BLM & fascist #ANTIFA supporter arrested for role in Capitol assaults.”
