DC Insurrectionists So Brutal And Out Of Control They Trampled One Of Their Own To Death:
"Cappuccio, “using a deadly or dangerous weapon, that is, a baton, did forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, and interfere with an officer and employee of the United States … and any person assisting such an officer and employee, that is, D.H., an officer from the Metropolitan Police Department, while such officer or employee was engaged in or on account of the performance of official duties and where the acts in violation of this section involve physical contact with the victim and the intent to commit another felony,” the indictment said.
In a particularly brutal battle during the insurrection, members of the mob stormed past outer police barriers and climbed the scaffolding near where President Joe Biden was set to give his inauguration speech just two weeks later.
The warrant’s mentioning of “D.H.” is a reference to Daniel Hodges, an officer with the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington. At the doorway leading from the Capitol building to the inauguration terrace, Hodges and other officers were holding the line to prevent rioters from breaking through.
Video shared by the FBI shows Cappuccio grabbing Hodges’s gas mask and attempting to rip it off while the officer was in the doorway. Hodges and the FBI said Cappuccio also beat the officer with his own baton, leaving the officer bleeding from his mouth.
The mob, which included Cappuccio, eventually heaved itself in a coordinated fashion that crushed Hodges as he was pinned in the doorway, with video showing the officer screaming in pain. Hodges was hardly the only casualty from the attack, though ― members of the mob seized MPD Officer Michael Fanone, who was repeatedly electroshocked. Rioter Rosanne Boyland died after being trampled during the attack."
