We may very well end up paying the people who tried to overturn an election our tax dollars because they are accusing the Capitol police of damage caused by excessive force on January 6th. This is madness.
Several participants in the Jan. 6 riot have filed a class action lawsuit against the federal government, seeking millions of dollars in damages over their claims that police used excessive force against the pro-Trump mob that attacked the U.S. Capitol in 2021.
The lawsuit, filed in Florida on Friday, alleges that police “indiscriminately launched explosive munitions, chemical agents, and impact projectiles into a peaceful crowd and physically assaulted members of the crowd” as rioters stormed the Capitol to contest the certification of Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory.
Alan Fischer, a Florida man who was associated with the Proud Boys and was identified with help from his modeling photos, is a lead plaintiff in the case alongside two Jan. 6 participants who were never charged: Patrick and Marie Sullivan. Fischer was granted clemency by President Donald Trump along with roughly 1,500 other Capitol riot defendants when Trump started his second term last year, leading to the dismissal of Fischer’s case before it was adjudicated.
The lawsuit includes the names of 35 other people who an attorney said filed written administrative claims more than six months ago under the Federal Tort Claims Act. The list includes a former Boston police K-9 officer who was sentenced to 20 months in federal prison after he called his actions on Jan. 6 “an abomination”; another Proud Boy who was sentenced to 10 years in prison for assaulting officers with pepper spray gel after he cut off his monitoring bracelet and went on the lam just before his sentencing; and a man convicted of child molestation this year after, authorities say, he tried to silence a victim with the promise of a payout from the government. That man, Andrew Paul Johnson, was sentenced to life in prison this month.
In all, 46 people could be part of the class action claim for more than $18.4 million, the lawsuit says, and the class could eventually consist “of hundreds or potentially thousands of individuals.”

White stormed the nation's capital, the destruction was caught on tape, and they are going to get money from the Trump DOJ.
Another example of white privilege.
