At least 52 active or retired military, law enforcement, or government service employees are among the over 400 suspects arrested for their alleged actions at the Capitol, according to an ABC News investigation based on military records, court records, interviews, and publicly available news reports. The arrests include over half a dozen ex-police officers and multiple former elected officials -- and represent some of the most significant and violent charges brought in connection with the deadly insurrection.

At least 52 active or retired military, law enforcement, or government service employees are among the over 400 suspects arrested after the “deadly insurrection.” Ashli Babbitt was murdered. No law enforcement organization has a use of force doctrine that allow murder. Have they discovered any BLM or Antifa agents provocateur? Of course not. What kind of investigation did they do for the 2017 inauguration riot (insurrection)?
