Story TK on the new D.C. Auditor's report on police firings/rehirings, but a pro tip: What you really need to read is Appendix B, at the end of the report. That's the part where the auditor details the officers' names and the cases of what happened.

I’m here in front of the Capitol at the “Justice for J6” rally and there are so many journalists/onlookers in addition to a crowd of maybe 100 protesters? It’s been common to see many cameras/mics around on person like this. This man was saying how unjust it is that insurrectionists are in jail though they haven’t been convicted. (Of course, this is how the US criminal justice system is for many ppl, particularly the poor. The vast majority of ppl in the DC Jail are Black non-insurrectionists)

Proud Boys are marching through Freedom Plaza. Some holding up the white power symbol. Chanting “f*** antifa” and “USA” Here at the National mall. The crowd is smaller than freedom plaza, but they just cheered loudly for Alex Jones, who is speaking at the moment
