That sounds daunting, but you don’t have to sit through all of it.
First off, you know when the peak hours of activity and claims of crimes were.
Secondly, you can catalog the position of each camera and what was in view. You can use this to figure out what times and intervals of the footage for each you will want to save based on who you were watching and what you were watching for.
Context and time.
For example, if you have footage of windows being breached, or who opened up doors, you’d want to see that. Or if people were attacked or hurt, you would typically have an idea when and where, even if you found something after it happened, and had to backtrack to an event, and then spread out to adjacent cameras to get even more info.
You can really narrow down the amount of footage you have to sift through.
It also depends on how well it’s already been cataloged.
I think two big things I’d be looking for are 1) what acts were shown happening (or not happening) by those who were charged with crimes, and 2) how did the breaches go down?
When I watched it live on TV, the news networks were showing live footage. Many of the people going through the rotunda area (if I am remembering the location right) were staying within roped off barricades and just passing right through peacefully. Some were carrying flags, but there was never any violence shown, and it looked like most of them just wanted to be able to say they were inside.
I’ve been inside the capital building in my lifetime. Once as a tour, and once we were able to just roam around the public areas. This was before 9-11 and I don’t know how much it has changed, but it didn’t use to be some secret, private, massively locked down building. It was a place tourists could visit.
It’s very interesting...although you’re right, it’s not something you can sit down and watch end to end.
However, a little bit that was released yesterday actually answered a question I have had since the beginning.
Right after the event, a lot of videos popped up here and there, and one of them...in fact, it may even have been on television...showed a group of people, including three wearing what I would consider SWAT gear, creeping up the staircase behind Ashli Babbit and communicating via hand signals and voice communications.
And then she was shot, although it didn’t look to me so much as if she was trying to get through the already broken window as to take a cell phone photo when she was shot. Then the cops behind her immediately came and tried to assist her, but it was weird that this group was right behind her on the stairs.
Then I heard the video clip (w audio) and apparently the civilian dressed people - who turned out to be plainclothes police - were joking about whether or not they should go up there to the landing with the window, one said he didn’t want to go because somebody would get shot, and the others joked about it and finally went up the stairs.
Before that, they had been down with the crowd, urging them to enter the building and urging them to go up the stairs.
That alone is enough to overthrow the whole DOJ narrative, and that was just from a brief peek into the collection at a particular crucial time.
I think stuff will come out because Tucker Carlson probably has a whole staff that will sit there and go through these things in a way most of us don’t have time for.
It’s like building an index...I’m sure at some point they will be generally released, but now you’ll at least have some idea of where to start.
