Capitol Police Use of Force Reports Expose Brutality of Unprovoked
                       Attacks Against Jan. 6 Protesters

   Conflicting timeline reports and identical language used by numerous
   officers in separate reports raise questions

   A 104-page report issued three months after the events at the Capitol
   Building on Jan. 6, 2021, said the Capitol Police’s Civil Disturbance
   Unit (CDU) was ordered by supervisors not to use “heavier, less-lethal
   weapons,” like flash bangs. However, video evidence—along with Capitol
   Police Use of Force Reports obtained exclusively by The Epoch
   Times—exposes conflicts in timelines, the brutality of the unprovoked
   attacks against Jan. 6 protesters, and how leadership ordered the
   deployment of munitions on a peaceful crowd.

The Video Evidence

  Victoria White

   According to Police1, the "#1 resource for law enforcement online," which
   promotes "the highest standards of business ethics," police are trained to
   target large muscle groups like legs, chest, abdomen, and arms with
   batons. Intentionally striking areas like the head, sternum, and spine are
   considered to be the same act of deadly force as firing a gun.

   However, a video shows Jan. 6 defendant Victoria White being beaten over
   the head 35 times with a metal baton and punched in the face by an officer
   of the Metropolitan Police of the District of Columbia. White, seen
   wearing a Trump hat, is unarmed and posed no threat to the officer. She
   raises her hands in defense during the brutal attack, collapsing more than
   once, only to be stood up by other officers to be maced and beaten again.

   According to a Use of Force report filed 1/7/21 by Officer Dante Price,
   obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times, "approved strike areas" for use
   of a baton "include arms, legs and large muscle groups." Injuries suffered
   by Dante's victim required hospital transport. Another report of an injury
   caused by use of a baton, filed 1/8/21 by Officer Ryan Kendall, states
   "approved target areas" include the "upper abdomen."

   “To add insult to injury," her legal team said at a Jan. 6, 2022 press
   conference, "she was indicted for being pushed into the tunnel entrance
   and for daring to put her hands up in a defensive posture while getting
   beaten by the police.”

   White has filed a $1 million lawsuit against D.C. Police Chief Robert
   Contree and seven unnamed officers, including one known as “Officer
   Whiteshirt,” given the moniker as it is believed his clothing identified
   him as an officer in a position of authority.

  Roseanne Boyland

   Another video obtained by The Epoch Times shows D.C. Metro Police Officer
   Lila Morris beating an unconscious 34-year-old Roseanne Boyland of
   Kennesaw, Georgia with a steel baton and then with a large wooden walking
   stick. According to witnesses, Boyland lost consciousness and stopped
   breathing after being crushed beneath the weight of other fallen
   protesters. Being unconscious, Boyland was no threat to the officer.

   Times)

   A DC medical examiner claims Boyland died of an accidental overdose of
   Adderall, a suspicious ruling that sparked outrage from Boyland’s
   friends and family. Her father, Bret Boyland, said his daughter had been
   taking Adderall for about 10 years to treat an attention deficit
   hyperactivity disorder.

   Epoch Times)

   The Epoch Times reported on Feb. 10, an investigation by the
   department’s Internal Affairs Bureau cleared Morris of any wrongdoing
   and deemed her beating of the unconscious Boyland as “objectively
   reasonable.”

   A separate report describes how Morris first used the wooden stick while
   beating Boyland to strike 41-year-old filmmaker Luke Coffee on the left
   elbow. A second swing missed before she sprayed him in the face with
   pepper gel. "Morris then inexplicably turned her fury on the motionless
   Boyland, striking her in the ribs once and twice in the head," the report
   said.

  Ashli Babbitt

   Ashli Babbitt, a 35-year-old unarmed Air Force veteran and ardent
   supporter of former President Donald Trump was shot and killed by U.S.
   Capitol Police Lt. Michael Byrd. While news media has labeled Babbitt as a
   violent “insurrectionist” who was trying to breach the Speaker’s
   Lobby, a frame-by-frame analysis of the video from The Epoch Times shows
   Babbitt tried to stop the violence against the Speaker’s Lobby at least
   four times before she was fatally shot.

   Moments before being shot to death, Ashli Babbitt confronts three police
   offers for not stopping the vandalism outside the U.S. House.Moments

   Two reports, filed by two officers who were with Byrd at the moment he
   shot Babbitt, were also obtained exclusively by The Epoch Times.

   According to a report by Paul McKenna of the United States Capitol Police
   (USCP) Uniformed Service Bureau, as protesters "began pounding" on the
   "East door of the lobby" and breaking the glass, he drew his weapon along
   with Byrd and Officer Reggie Tyson. He "yelled `stay back' `get back'
   several times during the incident."

   "A woman climbed through the far left window pane, which had been broken
   out by the group," McKenna attested. "Lt. Byrd fired one shot hitting the
   woman. She fell back out of the window and I continued yelling at the
   group to get back and away from the doors."

   McKenna claims the incident happened between 1430 and 1500 hours (2:30
   p.m. and 3:00 p.m.). The report was signed by McKenna on June 9, 2021. It
   was signed by his supervisor five months earlier, on Jan. 7, 2021.

   States Capitol Police Use of Force Report/The Epoch Times)

   In the second report, filed Jan. 7, 2021, Tyson said he heard "shots
   fired" over his radio some time after 1440 (2:40 p.m.). In an attempt to
   protect himself, Tyson said he withdrew his weapon and made his way to the
   lobby east side of the capitol along with Byrd and McKenna. "A protester
   tried to climb through the broken window where she was shot one time as
   she fell back." Tyson claims the time of the incident was around 1500
   hours (3:00 p.m.).

   In another report, USCP Officer Tyler Stoyle claims he responded to "a
   shots fired" call over their his radio at "1400 hours" (2:00 p.m.), 40
   minutes earlier than Tyson claimed to have heard the call of "shots
   fired."

   A separate report filed by USCP Officer Jason McGinnis, said he
   "responded to the North side of Crypt" at "approximately 1400 hours" and
   drew his baton to "hold the line of unscreened individuals that were
   trespassing."

   However, it wasn't until "after the initial surge had ended" and McGinnis
   "was moving trespassers out of the South Door" that he claimed "there were
   reports of shots fired in the Speaker's Lobby Stairs to the second floor."

   During an interview with NBC, Byrd also claimed to hear "shots fired."

   However, Byrd was the only one to fire a weapon on Jan. 6, 2021. This, and
   the conflicts in times reported by police regarding when they heard "shots
   fired," raises questions.

   According to a July 25 report by The Epoch Times, Stan Kephart—a 42-year
   law enforcement veteran and former director of security for the 1984 Los
   Angeles Summer Olympics who has testified in court more than 350 times as
   an expert witness on policing issues—said Babbitt was “murdered …
   under the color of authority.”

   However, a review of the reports filed by Tyson and McKenna, the Bureau
   Commander found "the circumstances support the Use of Force" and did not
   recommend any further investigation.

   Byrd also told NBC he yelled verbal warnings so hard that his throat hurt
   for days after. Neither of the reports filed by Tyson or McKenna
   corroborate his claim. Byrd cannot be heard shouting anything on the video
   either.

   Byrd insisted he opened fire on an unarmed Babbitt only as a "last
   resort."

   “I know that day I saved countless lives,” Byrd said.

   In August 2021, the U.S. Capitol Police investigation cleared Byrd of any
   wrongdoing.

Use of Force Reports

   According to a report released March 7 by the United States Government
   Accountability Office (GAO), "the January 6th attack on the Capitol raised
   concerns" about the preparedness of USCP "to respond to violent
   demonstrations."

   Key findings from the report:

     * Eighty officers "identified concerns related to use of force,
       including that they felt discouraged or hesitant to use force because
       of a fear of disciplinary actions."
     * Approximately 150 Capitol Police officers reported 293 use of force
       incidents on Jan. 6. All were deemed justified by the department.
     * These incidents involved pushing (91), batons (83), withdrawing a
       firearm from its holster (37), chemical spray (34), other physical
       tactics (22), pointing a firearm at a person (17), less-lethal
       munitions (7), a diversionary device (1) and firing a firearm (1).

   Of the 293 Use of Force (UOF) reports filed, The Epoch Times has obtained
   161 of them, including the ones filed by Tyson and McKenna regarding the
   shooting of Babbitt by Byrd.

`Less Than Lethal Munitions' UOF Reports

   According to one UOF report, dated 1/7/21, Officer Adam Descamp said he
   was ordered by Deputy Chief Eric Waldow "to deploy less than lethal
   munitions on an overwhelming number of rioters at the U.S. Capitol.

   "I deployed multiple FN303 projectiles from the FN303 launcher,
   administered strikes with the PR-24 baton and utilized the Sabre red
   pepper spray to gain compliance from the rioters that were aggressively
   attacking officers on the police line and throughout the Capitol complex,"
   Descamp wrote of his actions at "approximately 1215 hours" (12:15 p.m.).

   Waldow was incident commander of the Civil Disturbance Unit on Jan. 6,
   which was reported to be highly disorganized and woefully unprepared.

   At "approximately 1215 hours," Officer Melissa Lee also reported on
   1/7/21 that she "was ordered to the scene by Deputy Chief Waldow to deploy
   less than lethal munitions on an overwhelming number of rioters at the
   U.S. Capitol Building," using nearly the same, identical verbiage as
   Descamp.

   "I deployed multiple FN303 projectiles from the FN303 launcher to gain
   compliance from the rioters that were aggressively attacking officers on
   the police line and throughout the Capitol complex," she wrote.

   A report filed by Officer Matthew Flood, also "at approximately 1215
   hours," also states he was ordered by Deputy Chief Waldow "to deploy less
   than lethal munitions on an overwhelming number of rioters at the U.S.
   Capitol."

   "I deployed multiple projectiles from the FN303 launcher, and chemical
   agent spray," he wrote, using language remarkably similar to that of
   Descamp and Lee, "to gain compliance from the rioters that were
   aggressively attacking officers on the police line and throughout the
   Capitol complex," he wrote on his report, also date 1/7/21.

   "At approximately 1215 hours," Officer Tina Cobert also reported on 1/7/21
   that she "was ordered to deploy less than lethal munitions on an
   overwhelming number of rioters at the U.S. Capitol by Deputy Chief Waldow.

   "I deployed multiple projectiles from the FN 303 Launcher to gain
   compliance from the rioters that were aggressively attacking officers on
   the police line and throughout the Capitol complex," she also wrote.

   Also "at approximately 1215 hours," Officer Christopher Sprifke reported
   he "was ordered to deploy less than lethal munitions on an overwhelming
   number of rioters at the U.S. Capitol by Deputy Chief Waldow.

   "I deployed multiple PepperBall projectiles to gain compliance from the
   rioters that were aggressively attacking officers on the police line and
   throughout the Capitol building," he wrote in his 1/7/21 report.

   "At approximately 1215 hours," Officer Shauni Kerkhoff said she was also
   "ordered by Deputy Chief Waldow, Eric to deploy less than lethal munitions
   on an overwhelming number of rioters at the U.S. Capitol.

   "I deployed multiple projectiles from the PepperBall launcher to gain
   compliance from the rioters that were aggressively attacking officers on
   the police line and throughout the Capitol complex," she wrote in his
   report, also dated 1/7/21.

   In February 2021, the U.S. Capitol police union issued an overwhelming
   no-confidence vote for a half-dozen of the force's top leaders, including
   Waldow.

   Instead of leading his team of officers, Waldow chose to physically engage
   rioters, a move many of his fellow officers saw as wrong. In October 2021,
   Waldow submitted paperwork for his resignation.

   At "approximately 1400hrs," Officer Patrick Kahl reported that he
   "discharged multiple 40mm baton rounds after individuals began and
   continued fighting with USP Officers while trying to gain unlawful access
   to the United States Capitol Building through the Rotunda Door."

   At 1500 hours, Officer Justin Green reported launching a flash bang "to
   disperse the crowd" in an effort to "rescue" one of the department's
   sergeants who was "pinned in the center of the crowd." He fired a second
   flash bang as demonstrators were "breaching the Rotunda door."

Conflicting Reports

   These UOF reports contradict the report issued by then-Capitol Police
   Inspector General Michael Bolton, who said the CDU was ordered by
   supervisors not to use less than lethal munitions and that “heavier,
   less-lethal weapons,” including flash bangs, “were not used that day
   because of orders from leadership.”

   In addition, every report filed by police regarding the deployment of
   munitions claims there were no injuries. However, a witness said
   55-year-old Kevin Greeson, an unarmed pro-Trump protester who died of a
   heart attack on Jan. 6, was struck by a projectile fired by Capitol Hill
   police just prior to his death.

   Despite claims that munitions were launched to "gain compliance from
   rioters that were aggressively attacking officers," numerous videos show
   tear gas and flash bangs were launched into a peaceful crowd, even into an
   area where women, children, and elderly people were standing behind police
   barriers. Several reports, including one by The Epoch Times, suggested the
   use of munitions was an intentional effort to incite violence, not to
   "gain compliance."

   Video footage, analyzed by Ray Dietrich of Red Voice Media, shows the
   violence began on Jan. 6, 2021 "the moment either stun grenades or tear
   gas canisters were deployed into the crowd of protestors.”

   “The question I have, after a 20-year career in law enforcement, is why
   were these munitions deployed?" Dietrich asked rhetorically, saying he had
   "picked this video apart" and "cannot see why the USCP used this force
   against the crowd."

   "There is no fighting and no violence, so why did they target these people
   with less-lethal weapons?” He asked, noting that "what happened next"
   was “chaos" and "violence" as "the crowd fought back" and "the Capitol
   was breached."

   EpochTV's documentary "The Real Story of Jan. 6" contains a number of new
   videos showing that munitions were used on a primarily peaceful crowd,
   injuring many people.

   Contradictions between videos and police UOF reports regarding munitions
   also raise questions.

   None of the officers involved in these UOF attacks, some of which resulted
   in hospital transport or death, faced any charges.

   Considering the evidence, The Epoch Times reached out to the GAO, asking
   how the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) could determine that
   every use of force was justified.

   Gretta Goodwin, a director in GAO’s Homeland Security and Justice team,
   told The Epoch Times they "reviewed Capitol Police use of force and crowd
   control policies, procedures, and training materials," and "analyzed
   officer use of force reports for January 6, 2021, which describe the types
   of force used, as well as supervisors' determinations on whether the force
   was justified."

   "As you noted, and as we reported, Capitol Police determined that each the
   293 use of force incidents reported from January 6, 2021 were justified,"
   Goodwin explained. "According to Capitol Police policy, officers are
   required to complete a use of force report for any incident that meets one
   or more of three criteria: (1) unintentional firearm discharge; (2) the
   withdrawal of a weapon from its holster or pointing a weapon, including a
   firearm, at an individual or animal; or (3) any use of force greater than,
   and including, empty hand control techniques. Further, its policy requires
   officers to complete the use of force report, if possible, prior to the
   end of the officer's tour of duty (i.e., the day of the incident)."

   None of the reports were completed and submitted on Jan. 6, 2021.

   "Capitol Police policy calls for use of force reports to be reviewed by
   the reporting officer's supervisor for accuracy and completeness," Goodwin
   stated further. "The supervisor is required to indicate whether the use of
   force was supported by the circumstances, or whether more investigation is
   needed. For either designation, the supervisor is to forward the report to
   the Office of Professional Responsibility for final investigative review.
   According to the Capitol Police, Office of Professional Responsibility
   investigations that identify wrongdoing can result in disciplinary actions
   and criminal investigations. Of the 293 use of force incidents reported,
   one incident required more investigation by the supervisor. This incident
   was the sole use of force incident involving the firing of a firearm,
   which the Capitol Police determined to be justified after additional
   investigation."

   This was the shooting of an unarmed Babbitt by Byrd. No explanation was
   provided for why the actions of Officer Morris and “Officer
   Whiteshirt” were deemed justified.

   "We made five recommendations in our report," Goodwin said, "some of which
   focus on ensuring that the Capitol Police take actions to better
   understand officers' comprehension of the department's expectations and
   policies related to the use of force, and as appropriate, make changes to
   policy, guidance, and training. Capitol Police agreed with all five of our
   recommendations, and when we confirm what actions the agency has taken in
   response to our recommendations, we will provide updated information on
   our website."

   The Epoch Times also reached out to the USCP's OPR but received no
   response.
