4:00 PM

Police attempt to disperse the protestors inside the West Terrace tunnel. They do not issue a dispersal order. Instead, they begin deploying massive amounts of chemical asphyxiant spray in the enclosed space, beat non-violent protestors and push against the crowd. 

Protestors become stuck in the enclosed space and begin passing out from the excessive chemical spray, vomiting, slipping, fainting, and falling on each other as police continue to push.

​

Police beat protestors who are unable to move in the crush, despite the fact tey were not resisting or being aggressive. (Victoria White was one such protestor, who was hit in the back of her head 35 times over the course of 4 minutes while facing away, arms pinned down to her sides, and unable to move in the jam.

​

4:15PM

A large pile of people is pushed on top of each other, and Rosanne is among the first to fall.

​

Protestors beg police to stop but police continued to beat and push people on top of Rosanne and others. Men around the mouth of the tunnel attempt to recover people from the pile, including Rosanne who is at the bottom. Police ignore dozens of pleas to help Rosanne after she collapses (read the bodycam footage transcript below).

​

Lying on the ground unconscious, Boyland is hit multiple times with a wooden stick by D.C. police officer Lila Morris in the head and neck. Morris raises the stick over her head with both hands and hits Boyland as she lay motionless. The wooden stick flies from Morris's hand as she winds up for another strike, then ricoches off the tunnel arch.

Use-of-force expert Stanley Kephart concluded that the three full-force blows by DC police officer Lila Morris constituted a felony assault with intent to cause great bodily harm. Police are trained NOT to strike people in the head with a blunt object, and certainly not horizontal non-resistant, non-aggressive unarmed citizens.

4:28PM

Rosanne's body is finally pulled out from under the aggression of Officer Lila Morris, and multiple protestors attempt to give her CPR. Four minutes later, the protestors are unable to care for her and move her back toward the police line so that she can get emergency attention. Police continue to strike and beat protestors while they beg for help.

Police drag her back into the Capitol building, and later she is pronounced dead.

The D.C. medical examiner then lies to us, reporting that Rosanne died of a drug overdose. Her toxicology report showed zero levels of toxic substances, and her autopsy showed zero marking despite blood and extensive strikes that are evident in photos and videos of her at the scene. The New York Times immediately writes a smear piece, and the DOJ has worked overtime to cover this up. Rosanne's name was not even mentioned once in the Jan 6 Select Committee report. 

​

Now more than a dozen men who attempted to rescue her and the others trapped in the pile have been denied bond, held in pre-trial detention, and called TERRORISTS for trying to save others, render life-saving emergency care, and defuse the chaos as caused by poor police response and their excessive use of violence and force. These men are previous law enforcement, veterans, men who have saved lives, men without criminal pasts, and men who love their country. Now they are being denied due process and destroyed by their own government.
