They were minions following speaker of the house Nancy Pelosi's orders. Don't tell me she was drinking while her Capitol Cop playthings were putting Republican's eyes out and facial scars. Her orders defied not only the Constitution of the United States of America, but her oath of high office if it augmented the Presidential oath of office to "provide for the common defense." NOT provide a way to disfigure mere political opponents who were behaving themselves rather well. Nancy Pelosi has blood and disfigurement of innocent Americans on her hands with black claws and a heart blacker than her orders. Those Capitol Cops I have a feeling, also oaths of their service to the American people, not at innocent bystanders who went to protest truly bad government, and the people who were walking the halls were not pointing weapons of any kind at the cops who were throwing hand grenades and pot shooting guns powerful enough to disfigure faces, put out eyes for life, and doing it immediately as the people peacefully walked through the halls. That was horrific.
