The Federal Bureau Investigation is seeking information to identify the pro-Trump protesters who stormed the Capitol on Wednesday. The violence erupted as lawmakers were in the process of certifying the Electoral College votes won by President-elect Joe Biden. Washington, D.C., police said the unrest left four dead and 52 arrested after the chaos unfolded.
DANNY COULSON: We know that this was instigator-generated. It didn't just happen. There were people there that came to do it and generated it and caused this horrible mayhem. There are a lot of things. First of all, cameras. There are cameras all over the place. Also, remember that those police officers that were attacked, they had body cameras on … FBI and Secret Service and other institutions have very good facial recognition ability and they captured all that stuff.

Not well prepared, but acted with heroism, as far as I'm concerned.
