We received another set of Jan. 6 videos, this time from the case of Dominic Pezzola, charged in one of the Proud Boys conspiracy cases. Pezzola is charged, among other things, with using a stolen police riot shield to break into the Capitol s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2069…
Video #1 captures the moment when prosecutors say Pezzola took the shield during a clash between police and rioters — starting at around :28, follow the shield near the right edge of the screen
Video #2, prosecutors say shows Pezzola (ID'd as the man in sunglasses) carrying the shield.
A voice off screen: "You just stole a riot shield?"
"Yeah" (not 100% clear who says that, seems like the person w/ face covering)
"Wow"
Video #3 shows mob pushing through a small number of officers who are guarding a set of steps to the Capitol
Video #4, prosecutors say Pezzola (ID'd as man at bottom right with shield) is part of the mob here shouting at police trying to stop them from going further
Video #5 (final), more footage of what prosecutors say shows Pezzola in the mob trying to get past police. People chanting "USA USA" and "PUSH PUSH" as officers try to use a metal bike rack to hold them off
