Former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund describes Trumps’s January 6 Capitol assault:
“‘As soon as they hit the fence line, the fight was on,’ Sund said. ‘Violent confrontations from the start. They came with riot helmets, gas masks, shields, pepper spray, fireworks, climbing gear — climbing gear! — explosives, metal pipes, baseball bats. I have never seen anything like it in 30 years of events in Washington.’
...‘They were extremely dangerous and they were extremely prepared. I have a hard time calling this a demonstration,’ he said.”
