Violence determined to be 'objectively reasonable'Police in Washington, D.C., have investigated the apparently violent beating of a Jan. 6 protester who already was on the ground by an officer with a stick and a baton, and have reported that violence was "objectively reasonable," according to a report by Just the News.
The investigation conclusion comes from the city's Metropolitan Police Department's Bureau of Internal Affairs.
The review revealed D.C. Officer Lila Morris beat Rosanne Boyland with a steel baton and "what appeared to be a wooden walking stick."
This was after the victim, of Kennesaw, Georgia, already was unconscious and on the ground on the day rioting erupted at the U.S. Capitol.
"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," the report said.
Her traveling companion, Justin Winchell, reportedly pleaded with police and protesters to provide first aid, and bodycam video "shows Winchell’s shock when he saw Morris strike Boyland in the head."
