We have videos and pictures of the battles between the rioters and police. Why is it so hard to believe that some of the police were actually injured, some severely enough to require hospital treatment? You can witness rioters hurling flagpoles, spraying bear spray and any number of actions that qualify as assault on a police officer. Dipping into the hundreds of people that have been charged and it reinforces that rioters were violent towards police. The attempt to diminish that violence is the antithesis of "accountability" that so many conservatives preach.
My favorite anecdotal story was the Rep. that called the rioters "tourists" in last Wednesday's hearing then was shown in pictures on twitter that he helped barricade the house chamber doors. Who barricades doors to protect themselves from "tourists"?
