Jan 6 defendant Brian Mock has filed handwritten motion from jail, seeking dismissal of charges. Mock is charged w/ assaulting police & serving as his own defense lawyer

In motion, he alleges "dereliction of duty" & "insubordination" of Capitol Police ..... and more

(THREAD)

Mock then directs blame at police leadership, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser, Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Pentagon

==>

Mock then accuses politicians, the media, police and the Justice Dept of perpetuating a "false narrative" of Jan 6... he then uses the phrase "peaceful protest"

Later in his 43-page filing, Mock argues people in the crowd were outgunned. He says they were armed w/ "Flagpoles" and "civilian issued pepper spray"

And he argues police "unleashed" an "arsenal"

(more)

Mock alleges he was the victim of brutality and was not a threat.

Then claims his civil rights are being violated "because of two pushes with his bare hands"

He's charged w/ assaulting police

At recent court hearing, Mock interjected several times to call himself a "political prisoner"

Prosecutors argued Mock has criminal past.... and prior case in which he allegedly put a gun to the heads of children

This is video used as court exhibit by feds in Mock's Jan 6 case

He's back in court December 16

We'll see how the judge reacts to this 43 page handwritten motion criticizing police and alleging brutality against the Jan 6 mob....

Mock has pleaded not guilty.

In the new motion he also criticizes his prior defense attorney

(I'm thinking if he still had a defense attorney.... said attorney might've advised against the 43-page handwritten motion)
