almost 2 years in news

Newly released surveillance, body-worn, and audio recordings give a timeline of events of the January 6 attack on the US Capitol. The footage was shown on June 9 during at a select committee hearing in Washington, DC, part of an investigation by a bipartisan House panel focused on the attack on the US Capitol, led by Representatives Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney. The release shows a number of videos making up a timeline of events beginning at 11.33 am with a crowd, named in the footage as Proud Boys, marching by the Peace Monument. Surveillance footage captures the attack as the crowd moved through barriers and into the chambers of the Capitol. Body-worn footage shows the clashes between police and the crowd as they make their way into the building. US Capitol and Washington Metropolitan Police radio transmissions can be heard throughout the video as the attack unfolds. In one discussion, an officer can be heard saying to another, “we can’t hold this, we’ve got too many f****** people. Look at this f****** vantage point. We’re f*****.” Credit: January 6th Committee via Storyful
