Well, speaking breaking through police barricades, there was this news item yesterday, about the first guys to break through: (from WUSA9.com)
-----------------------------------------------------
"On January 6, 2021, prosecutors say James Tate Grant and Ryan Samsel were the first two rioters to charge the police barricades outside the U.S. Capitol. At least two officers were injured in the melee — including one who has needed continuing medical care since then.
Despite facing felony charges of obstruction and assaulting police, Grant was given pretrial release.
Last month, police arrested him outside a North Carolina restaurant. Officers said he appeared intoxicated and had an AR-15 in his vehicle.
"Just kill me now," Grant allegedly told the officers. "It's over."
U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly concluded Grant wasn't just a danger to others, but possibly himself as well.
"There seems to be a toxic combination of substance abuse problems, alleged mental health issues and repeated access to firearms that poses a really serious threat to the community," Kelly said."
