Ok so I have figured it out. This is the team that retrieved the laptops (and whatever else). Notice the two women who are unlocking the door. Three men on the right suiting up. And the man in black with zip tie cuffs that are ready to use, in case they need to keep someone down.

More severe police injuries and deaths on that one day of rampaging Trumpers than in five years of Anti-Police protests.
You can tell a lot about the stance of a angry crowd by whether they come with shields or pitchforks.
If people protesting police brutality for years had wanted to use their large numbers to attack, maim and kill police, they damn well could have.
But they came to resist police.
Which is completely different.
Why did the police suffer more at the hands of those who claimed to support them and waved their flags than at the hands of those who think they should be defunded or abolished?
Because one group is literally arguing for human dignity and the other glorifies violence.
The people who uncritically support police brutality are those who believe that instrumental violence should be a standard tool in response to those standing opposed to you.
Once you accept that... WHO is standing opposed to you doesn't matter much.
Nearly 140 officers were injured during pro-Trump extremists' Capitol siege \u2014 including officers who sustained brain injuries, smashed spinal discs, one who'll likely lose an eye, and another stabbed with a metal fence stake, the Capitol Police union said.https://t.co/D9jFSkKtJm

Absolutely fascinating thread as @jsralton & others track down the identity of key players in the Capitol Hill breach.
Including highly decorated ex-members of the military.
The double wrist ties, tasers, discarded weapons all show an intention to go much further than they got
Seems so ordinary, becoming Lieutenant Commander Brock in the US Airforce ...yet the conversion from the ordinary into the extremist will make a fascinating study for psychologists @RichardBentall
His claim that he picked up the wrist ties “someone” had dropped so he could hand them into police is laughable.
And when you think about it rather cowardly. Can’t even take responsibility for what he has done.
Who else were involved in the planning? Which mates of his?
The attention to detail in making the links is impressive.
There’s going to be a lot more doors knocked in in the next few weeks.
How high and how deep into the Trump establishment does it go.?

If the people involved in this insurrection succeeded where would the establishment face of the movement be?
I suspect not making the denouncements they are now that it

fascinated by this man, mario cortellucci, and his outsized influence on ontario and GTA politics. cortellucci, who lives in vaughan and ran as a far-right candidate for the italian senate back in 2018 - is a major ford donor...
his name might sound familiar because the new cortellucci vaughan hospital at mackenzie health, the one doug ford has been touting lately as a covid-centric facility, is named after him and his family
but his name also pops up in a LOT of other ford projects. for instance - he controls the long term lease on big parts of toronto's portlands... where doug ford once proposed building an nfl stadium and monorail... https://t.co/weOMJ51bVF
cortellucci, who is a developer, also owns a large chunk of the greenbelt. doug ford's desire to develop the greenbelt has been
and late last year he rolled back the mandate of conservation authorities there, prompting the resignations of several members of the greenbelt advisory
