Newly Arrested Capitol Rioter Brags ‘I Got to Manhandle Five Cops and Live to Tell About It’

Brian Glenn Bingham is yet another example of a rioter who believed that nothing really happened that day until it was on social media. He is the latest arrested for bragging about his exploits on Facebook. But Bingham is a bit different than your average MAGA rioter. Most others bragged about the ability to really “trigger the libs” and stand up for Trump. Bingham chose to brag about owning the police.

The details from the criminal complaint are disturbing and not something Bingham would condone any black man or Antifa doing. Nice find by our friends at Rawstory in getting a copy of the complaint:

“The video shows Bingham first turning to confront and shout at Officer Hussain before squaring up with Officer Agyeman and ultimately attacking Officer Agyeman… At some point during the fight, Bingham scratched Officer Agyeman on the right side of his left eye.

“As Bingham continues to scuffle with the officer, other officers get involved to pull Bingham away from the officer he attacked. Eventually the officers are able to get Bingham away from the officer he attacked and push Bingham towards the doorway. It takes several other officers to finally push Bingham out of the doorway where Bingham then exits the Capitol.

Imagine bragging about doing such things? How many of these very same people were raging last summer about BLM and Antifa? Again from the criminal complaint:

Individual-5: Are you ok?
BINGHAM: I got to manhandl[e] 5 cops and live to tell

Individual-5: Lol… All of this does not surprise me! Stay safe

We hope that he does stay safe… in a federal penitentiary. But we aren’t surprised, either. A lot of MAGAs believed that being white and being right-MAGA meant that they didn’t need to worry about any legal consequences. One would hope that a lot of them are now seeing that even white people can be charged with crimes.

Peace, y’all
