Riot defendants file class-action against Capitol Police over Jan. 6 force

A Florida-based class-action suit filed by members of the Jan. 6 mob accuses Capitol Police and DC Metropolitan Police of using indiscriminate and dangerous crowd-control methods, seeking tens of millions in damages and aiming to represent others on the Capitol’s West Front. Lead plaintiffs include A.J. Fischer, a Proud Boy who was charged in the riot, and Patrick and Marie Sullivan; the case cites pepper balls, chemical spray, and other non-lethal munitions as injuring rioters and bystanders. The filing follows Trump-era pardons and prior government settlements with other allies, and may be expanded if certified as a class. Note: Fischer was charged, not convicted.

Ex-Proud Boys Leader Testifies in Trial of Officer Accused of Leaking Intel

Enrique Tarrio, former Proud Boys leader, refused to answer questions about the Jan. 6 Capitol attack during the trial of Shane Lamond, a former D.C. police officer accused of providing Tarrio with information about an arrest warrant. Tarrio, serving a 22-year sentence for seditious conspiracy, testified that he lied to his group about his communications with Lamond, who allegedly acted as a 'double agent' for the Proud Boys. Tarrio claimed his arrest was a planned publicity stunt and denied Lamond's involvement in tipping him off, despite evidence of extensive communication between them.
