Three years ago, President Trump told the crowd to “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard,” when they went to the permitted Capitol Protest. During Trump’s speech, Ray Epps leaned over to speak to someone who quickly started taking down barricades at the Capitol. Capitol Police fired flash bangs at the crowd. People broke down barriers. People rioted. They broke doors and windows open and entered the Capitol. One was shot in the neck and killed with a firearm, and three died after the police used less-lethal weapons. In other parts of the protest, nobody knew anything odd was going on. Capitol Police held doors open for Protestors, leading them through the Capitol in peace. All of this “seen on video” later released to the public.
