The beating of an unconscious Trump supporter by a DC Metropolitan Police Department officer on January 6 was deemed to be “objectively reasonable” after an investigation by the department’s Internal Affairs Bureau, The Epoch Times has learned.
The Internal Affairs investigation was opened in September 2021 based on a complaint filed by a Texas man who assembled video evidence of the officer striking an unconscious Rosanne Boyland with a steel baton and a large wooden stick at the entrance to the West Terrace tunnel at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Boyland, 34, of Kennesaw, Ga., was pinned under a pile of protesters who fled the tunnel when police deployed a crowd-control gas. After several minutes of being crushed by the weight of other fallen protesters, Boyland lost consciousness and stopped breathing, witnesses have said.
Boyland traveled to Washington D.C. that day to attend the “Stop the Steal” rally and hear then-President Donald Trump speak at the Ellipse. She became trapped in a crowd that sought entry to the Capitol through the West Terrace tunnel.
As Boyland lay unconscious on the ground DC Metro Police Officer Lila Morris repeatedly struck her with a steel baton and what appeared to be a wooden walking stick, according to a video recording.

Maybe by global anti Personal Liberty, fascist standards.
Put it in front of a jury.
Back the blue!
Rodney King resisted, and look at the uproar.
This person was out cold, and they still beat her.
Wow...
Well, that settles that. The police have investigated the police, and found that the police did nothing wrong.
The writer sure seems reluctant to report that the woman died from this.
dc has become a criminally sanctioned hell hole, it seems
This is one of the J6 “heroes” according to Pelosi et al.
Bingo
“DC Metro Police Officer Lila Morris”
One of our brave police officers bravely beating an unconscious woman to death. Where’s her medal?
Plainly this is objectively bullshit.
President Obama’s making a special trip to attend a ceremony at VP Biden’s house to award the Presidential medal of freedom to her.
Yea, especially after they are unconscious. Everybody knows that is when conservatives are the most dangerous . . .
She got to go to the Super Bowl.
I'm getting better.
Whack!
Unarmed, comatose White Female...
Nothing to see here...

A DC Jury would never convict the DC Police of anything. They could behead a baby on the White House lawn and the Jury would render a not guilty verdict.
Absolutely. It is Free Republic Dogma. The Police are on our side. The Police are never wrong. No matter what they do. Whether it is throw flash bang grenades in a crib with a sleeping infant. Dislocate the shoulder of an elderly lady with dementia who has no knowledge what she is doing by slamming her to the ground then making jokes about it. Or beating the hell out of a unconscious Trump supporter.
