Rosanne Boyland, 34, was identified long ago as one of those people who died during the violence – mostly vandalism – at the U.S. Capitol last Jan. 6.
One unarmed woman protesting the adoption of election results giving the White House to Joe Biden was shot and killed by a police officer, and several others had physical episodes triggered by natural causes.
And the story has been until now that Boyland reportedly first was “trampled to death by pro-Trump rioters,” or, in contradiction, died of a drug overdose.
Now a video clip that has become available shows she was kicked by police, and later died.
My God @CapitolPolice were beating Rosanne Boyland and they told us all she died of a drug overdose. They won’t even let her family have access to complete autopsy. What is @January6thCmte doing to investigate her death? Nothing. pic.twitter.com/dq4cpsWbOY
