"A federal judge in New York released Sibick from custody on Friday after an initial hearing. The Justice Department has appealed that decision and said in court filings that Sibick should be jailed because he had "participated in a violent riot and robbed an officer" and is a danger to the public."

Fanone said he had been tased several times in the neck, had been beaten with a flagpole and had heard people screaming, "Kill him with his own gun," while rioters tried to pull his weapon out of its holster.

The Capital police saw the hord coming toward the Capital and radioed in”Yea it’s just a bunch of old white guys with sticks... nothing to worry about” and the police chief radioed back “10-4 no worries”
