Were the police at the capital riot in mortal danger?
I think the 'some of them actually ended up dead' factor must have weighed quite heavily in ruling out any move to question the 'mortal danger' thing, don't you?

They were faced with a wild pack of political crazies who were beating on them and ended up killing a few of them.

One officer was killed but we still don't know how. The story that he was beaten with a fire extinguisher was false.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Xanax, of course, is a piece of crap.
Police officials and federal prosecutors say that as many as 140 officers were injured during the Jan. 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol.

“I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” Gus Papathanasiou, union chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries.”

Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died after trying to defend the Capitol from rioters. One Capitol Police officer and one D.C. police officer who were responding on the scene have died by suicide since the attack.

And since Jan. 6, 38 Capitol Police employees have tested positive for the coronavirus, almost entirely officers and supervisors who responded to the riot, Papathanasiou said.

At least 81 Capitol Police officers were assaulted during the siege of the Capitol, according to filings by federal prosecutors. The filings did not detail injuries sustained by officers, and a Capitol Police spokeswoman did not respond to a Washington Post request for comment on officer injuries.

About 65 D.C. police officers also suffered injuries on Jan. 6, including several concussions from head blows from various objects, including metal poles ripped from inauguration-related scaffolding and even a pole with an American flag attached.
And let's not forget the officers that committed suicide after the riot - whether or not that was a contributing factor is in question, but we shouldn't dismiss it, either.

So you're betting this a whole cloth fabrication and there was no warrant out for Daunte Wright?
Nobody has to bet anything. There is nothing wrong with waiting to see if it is reported by a source that doesn't have a history of, say, brazenly misreporting facts; some would call that the responsible, sensible thing to do. I'd add a YMMV, but my heart wouldn't be in it.
Thank you for the article, Mr Ripley. I've never read that before.

Undeniably, yes.

This video is from CNN, but it has an interview with one of the officers who was dragged into the crowd while they tried to take his gun while others yelled "kill him with his own gun." It also has an image of the officer who was beaten with Trump, and American flag poles.

I sincerely thank you for conceding that, ajax. :) Maybe you are not as completely immune to persuasion by sound evidence and reason as many of us think you are.
