Ryan Samsel was leading the charge against Capitol Hill Police on January 6 protests.
Samsel pushed the flimsy bike racks and stormed the US Capitol. Samsel reportedly injured a female police officer.
Since his arrest, Ryan Samsel has been held in Washington DC. On March 21, he was awakened by correctional officers, his hands zip-tied, then walked to an unoccupied cell and brutally beaten by the officers. Then Ryan Samsel lost an eye in the beating.
This will not make any headlines.
