Original Note:
The footage being discussed was edited to omit violent actions taken by the Jan 6 rioters. In the footage, police are seen diverting protesters into already cleared safe zones. It is also believed that some capital police were supportive of and enabled the insurrection. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-january-6-jacob-chansley-tucker-carlson-193191103193 https://www.forbes.com/sites/adamandrzejewski/2021/12/16/where-were-the-us-capitol-police-when-protestors-stormed-the-capitol-on-january-6th/?sh=6d26cf82294e
