Jan 6 Police Unit was set-up?

Jan 6 Officer Says It Was a Setup!

"New video footage taken from the bodycam of Metropolitan Police Department Officer Lawrence Lazewski on January 6th has caused controversy among members of the public.

The video, which was used as evidence in the trial of Jan. 6th defendant William Pope captures Officer Lazewski approaching a group of officers while appearing to be visibly angry about what happened at the Capitol. In the clip, Lazewski can be heard saying that he believes they were “set up” by someone for an unknown reason.

The bodycam footage indicates that after spending nearly 90 minutes on the police line at the west front of the Capitol, Lazewski retreated to the Upper West Terrace at 2:33 p.m., where he encountered other officers who were engaged in discussion. One of them angrily declared that they had been deliberately set up by someone, saying “They set us the f*** up. That’s what they did. They set up [Unit] 64, absolutely, and then they ask you all to come two hours later. We ain’t got nothing.”

At this point, Officer Lazewski added his own observation that “they needed everybody right away”, only for him to be met with agreement from his colleague about having been deliberately taken advantage of through a setup."
