An In-Depth Look at How a Mob Stormed the Capitol

The New York Times has compiled an amazing video of the riots at the Capitol on January 6.

“We filed motions to unseal police body-camera footage, scoured law enforcement radio communications, and synchronized and mapped the visual evidence.”

“What we have come up with is a 40-minute panoramic take on Jan. 6, the most complete visual depiction of the Capitol riot to date. In putting it together, we gained critical insights into the character and motivation of rioters by experiencing the events of the day often through their own words and video recordings. We found evidence of members of extremist groups inciting others to riot and assault police officers. And we learned how Donald Trump’s own words resonated with the mob in real time as they staged the attack.”

Spoiler: It was not just a bunch of tourists.
