From Jack Smith's report:

"The people who took Mr. Trump at his word formed a massive crowd that broke onto
restricted Capitol grounds and into the building, violently attacking law enforcement officers
protecting the Capitol and those inside. Officers have described being assaulted by rioters
wielding bear spray, metal bats and flag poles, and other improvised weapons. A Metropolitan
Police Department (MPD) commander recounted that the scene was "a non-stop barrage of just
strikes, with weapons and things being thrown, and pepper spray, and you name it. Everything
being hurled at these [officers]. You could hear them yelling. You could hear them, screams and
moans, and everything else." Multiple officers stated that they feared for their lives when
among the rioters that day. One MPD officer put that fear at "a hundred percent" from the
moment he entered the crowd, and he explained that he thought he might die: "You know, you're
getting pushed, kicked, you know, people are throwing metal bats at you and all that stuff. I was
like, yeah, this is ****ing it." A U.S. Capitol Police officer similarly recalled thinking, "I
think I might die today." And in one instance, an MPD officer recounted that rioters dragged
him into the crowd, where they beat and tased him while yelling things like, "I got one!" and,
"Kill him with his gun!"

The January 6 rioters assaulted at least 140 law enforcement officers that day, and at least
123 defendants have been charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon or causing serious
bodily injury to law enforcement."

But by all means, Donald, pardon every one of them. After all, they were only doing what you told them to do.
