A newly released video from January 6 shows a woman at the U.S. Capitol being struck by police nearly 40 times in the span of about 4 minutes. This video was previously under government seal until recently when a federal judge ordered its release after the woman in question was charged with several felonies in relation to the January 6 protests.
In the video, a 39-year-old woman from Minnesota, Victoria White, is seen being beaten by a police baton, receiving several punches, being grabbed and shaken by the hair, and being sprayed with pepper spray. The surveillance video comes from just inside the Capitolâs west tunnel entrance.
Whiteâs attorney, Joseph McBride, insists the beating his client took was a crime and wants the policeâs behavior to be thoroughly investigated. âA special prosecutor without a doubt should be appointed,â McBride told The Epoch Times. âThere needs to be an independent investigation.â
