Trump sued by two Capitol Police officers for 'physical and emotional injuries' suffered in riots
By Dominick Mastrangelo - 03/31/21 07:38 AM EDT
Former President Trump has been sued by a pair of Capitol Hill police officers for what they say are physical and emotional injuries they suffered as a result of the deadly attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 by his supporters.
Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby allege in a lawsuit filed in federal court this week that Trump riled his supporters and encouraged them to commit acts of violence against them, according to the Washington Post.
“Both United States Capitol Police Officers reported for duty on January 6, 2021, without any suspicion that they would soon become the targets of Trump’s followers,†the suit states. “The insurrectionist mob, which Trump had inflamed, encouraged, incited, directed, and aided and abetted, forced its way over and past the plaintiffs and their fellow officers, pursuing and attacking them inside and outside the United States Capitol, and causing the injuries."
The suit charges the former president with being directly responsible for inciting the riot that took place at the Capitol and outlines what each officer experienced that day.
Hemby was "attacked relentlessly" while protecting the Capitol Building the suit states and was "bleeding from a cut located less than an inch from his eye," at one point.

Oh.
Private citizens can't sue the pigs for the damage they cause under color of authority, but the pigs can sue a private citizen exercising his Constitutionally guaranteed First Amendment freedom to tell people the election was stolen?

I do not think you are going to be well received here calling any police pigs.
