Six police officers injured, $100K in damages and 217 arrested in the DC insurrection when Trump was inaugurated, CNN described the mayhem as 'coordinated'.
Police injured, more than 200 arrested at Trump inauguration protests in DC | CNN Politics
Charges against all 200+ were dropped by the following July, in our two-tiered justice system, yet dozens from 1/06 are still in jail a year later:
Prosecutors Dropping Remaining Charges Against Trump Inauguration Protesters (Published 2018)
'The first trial ended with acquittals for all six defendants. After that defeat, the government dropped charges against 129 defendants, including Petrohilos, saying prosecutors would focus on the defendants against whom they had the strongest evidence. But a second trial for four people in May ended in acquittals on most charges and a hung jury on the rest.' Government drops charges against all inauguration protesters
So they did their best, but even the defendents whom they had the best chance of convicting were aquitted. Ah, the perils of the justice system. Sometimes it convicts people you support and frees those you don't.
