All you have to do is google Body Camera Footage from Capotil Police on Jan 6th.

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 believe facts, not fake or embellished stories. I was not there. I believe credible journalists who have zero axe to grind or narrative to pitch. The Wash Post CNN & NY Times posted stories that they later had to walk back. Not credible.
Greenwald states facts and debunks other media sensationalism about 1/6 in this story below too.
BTW. I also have a picture of an alleged “insurrectionist” in a Buffalo Headdress walking into the Senate Chamber with a Capitol Police officer walking calmly behind him. The officer certainly does not look under duress or attack. In fact that Officer asks a protestor sitting on the floor if he “Needed Medical Attention”, and the guy says no. Don’t see any attack there. Unfortunately I am unable to post it on here for unknown reasons but it is contained on video near the end of the Greenwald article. Watch it.

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?

That video of the cop getting crushed in the door looked pretty real to me.

I posted a story by a credible journalist, twice.
Maybe you should read it rather than asking me?

Poppycock:

Who is John Sullivan?
In what group is he seen as a leader?
Where was he on Jan 6th?

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.”

Getting tired of winning:

https://thehill.com/hilltv/what-amer...t-as-100th-day

Here's some more winning for you:

Russia is massing troops on the border with Ukraine. Ukraine is threatening to take Crimea back by force.

China is threatening Taiwan and its neighbors while also threatening our ships and Navy.

N Korea is testing missiles again and restarting their nuclear weapons program.

Iran has been emboldened and making more than their normal threats.

Palestinians are shooting missiles into Israel again

Our southern border is a humanitarian disaster caused directly by the Biden administration, and the administration that promised transparency is hiding it and not letting the media have access.

Ford is closing a plant and moving it to Mexico after just bringing it back from Mexico because of the current Administration’s plan for Increased taxes.

Price of steel up 145%, lumber 126%, wheat up 25%, food index up 25%, cotton 35%, silver 38%, copper 50%, soybeans 71%, oil 80%, etc, etc.

Pipeline jobs lost.

Wall construction jobs lost.

1.9 trillion in stimulus that funds the administrations pet projects and only paid a fraction to the people.

29 trillion in debt with 4.8 trillion projected 2021 deficit before the 2 trillion dollar stimulus proposed today for the new green deal.

6+% unemployment with millions of job openings that can’t be filled because federal unemployment assistance makes it more advantageous for people to stay home than work.
