If you don't know by now, the Capitol entry on J6 was preceded by a violent attack on protestors assembled outside the US Capitol's west side.
More than an hour before any protestor entered the building, and while President Trump was still speaking on stage—incendiary grenades, mortars, tear gas, rubber bullets and more were launched into the crowd by police maiming many and killing 2 protestors.
Notably, this was the first time in history that Capitol PD have used these munitions on protestors, and police use-of-force experts have deemed the deployment of these weapons on J6 illegal.
The chaos of J6 was directly precipitated by criminal and lethal police brutality.
