Victoria White Files $2 Million Suit For Police Using 'Excessive' Force In Jan. 6 Beating

 Federal civil rights lawsuit filed in Washington alleges Metropolitan Police Department officers illegally struck Ms. White dozens of times on Jan. 6.

"Bagshaw reaches over his fellow officers and violently strikes Ms. White in the head with his baton five times in seven seconds," the suit alleges.

In another instance, "Bagshaw moves his way from behind his fellow officers towards Ms. White to get a better striking distance and begins another assault. He spears and pokes White with his baton about the head, neck, and face to inflict maximum pain. Ledge officer sprays mace on Ms. White,"according to the lawsuit.

Ms. White did not resist police and would be considered at most a "Passive resister" using the MDP Use of Force Framework, the lawsuit said.

The suit outlines the beating first documented in The Epoch Times on Dec. 23, 2021, after Ms. White's then-attorney Joseph McBride secured the release of previously sealed security video from the tunnel.

The newspaper's analysis of the CCTV video showed Ms. White was struck by police 39 times in a little over four minutes.

Mr. McBride filed suit on Ms. White's behalf on Jan. 5, 2022, but she withdrew the suit in November 2022 to concentrate on defending herself against criminal charges brought by the U.S. Department of Justice for her time at the U.S. Capitol.
