Security Footage Undermines Police Report in Death of Rosanne Boyland on Jan. 6
[Epoch Times] The new Capitol Police CCTV video was obtained through access granted by House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.). Previously unreleased Capitol Police closed-circuit-television footage adds crucial new details to the tragic story of Ms. Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Georgia, who died after collapsing outside the Lower West Terrace tunnel on Jan. 6, 2021.

The security video deflates claims made in the initial Capitol Police report that Ms. Boyland simply collapsed in the Capitol Rotunda at 5 p.m. on Jan. 6, and that the officer who observed her "wandering around the Rotunda" immediately began cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
Complete timeline of the incident provided at the end of the linked article.
Nothing that the Metropolitan Police Department relayed to Ms. Boyland’s family from the Jan. 7 report turned out to be true, except that she was dead. As the security video conclusively shows, Ms. Boyland did not collapse in the Rotunda and paramedics did not find her there receiving CPR from two unnamed Capitol Police officers.

The new video only deepens the stark contrast between the indifference shown to a pulseless Ms. Boyland by police outside the tunnel and the unflinching trauma care she received from medics, police officers, and paramedics once she was brought inside the Capitol.

The video also underscores the desperate attempts to save Ms. Boyland’s life by a group of fellow protesters, who repeatedly begged police for medical help and began CPR themselves when no officers stepped forward.

It does nothing, however, to explain why MPD Officer Lila Morris beat the unconscious Ms. Boyland with a walking stick while she lay prone and defenseless on the sidewalk.

Metropolitan Police designated all uses of force on Jan. 6 as "objectively reasonable," including Ms. Morris’s striking Ms. Boyland.

#1 All J6 defendants should ask McCarthy for access to the videos and let the public know if they are turned down.
