On January 6, 2021, Roseanne Boyland was part of a crowd that climbed the steps of the United States Capitol. In the chaotic and censored footage, a Capitol police officer named Lila Morris, badge number 5869, is seen repeatedly beating Boyland with a large wooden stick, even after she falls to the ground. Despite pleas from onlookers to stop, Morris continues the assault. The video raises questions about how this incident would have been covered if the races and genders were reversed, as it challenges the prevailing narrative of white police officers targeting black individuals. Both Morris and Boyland are women, with Morris being black and Boyland being white.
