A video clip purporting to be new footage of an incident involving a Capitol rioter who died being hit by police has spread online.
Rosanne Boyland, 34, was one of three people who died of medical emergencies when a pro-Trump crowd stormed the Capitol as Congress was certifying Joe Biden's victory in the presidential election last January.
FALSE!!!!!
The video claiming to show police officers beat an unconscious woman is neither new nor accurate.
It is a compilation of short segments of other videos spliced together to mislead.
Full videos provide the context of the scene, where officers were trying to drag back and protect an officer that lay on the ground next to Boyland. One officer attempted to hit back at a man in the crowd wielding a hockey stick, a moment that can be clearly seen in the full-length videos, but not in the heavily-doctored viral video. Finally, claims that Boyland died at the hands of the police are also false, as the coroner's report stated a drug overdose was the cause of death.

Are you surprised that someone would maliciously edit a video to make it look like Capitol police killed a Jan 6th rioter?
