A new video published about the violent takeover of the National Capitol that left five people dead, shows a young police officer bloody, distraught and screaming for help as he is crushed by protesters.
The unidentified young officer, who appears to be a member of the Capitol Police Department, was trapped between a riot police shield and a metal door. He is seen bleeding from his mouth as he screams in pain and asks for “Help!”
The disturbing images are recorded shortly after dozens of frantic supporters of President Donald Trump stormed an entrance on the side west of the Congress Building, snatching a police riot shield and using metal to hit the line of officers fighting to push back the crowd, using pepper spray, described New York Post.
A political storm has been unleashed in the country calling for the removal of Trump, after the violence caused by followers of his unproven thesis that there was electoral fraud in November and not recognize Joe Biden as his rightful successor.
Four civilians -Ashli Babbitt, Rosanne Boyland, Kevin Greeson and Benjamin Phillips- murier on at the mass protest, in addition to Brian D. Sicknick, Capitol Police officer who was apparently struck by a fire extinguisher and passed away the day after.
