He has testified under oath and in federal court proceedings that he suffered near-death injuries.
New J6 video contradicts Gonell’s claims that protesters inflicted head, shoulder, hand, and foot injuries so egregious that he required surgery and medical leave. (Not to mention “mental health” trauma.)
In a victim impact statement made in court in May, Gonell told the judge that he was “bleeding from both hands, [had] a maimed foot, hit on the head, sprayed with pepper and bear spray, beaten, punched, pushed, pulled, and assaulted by many other rioters as they try to gain entrance.”
Here he is for several minutes near the body of Rosanne Boyland at around 4:50 on Jan 6, after the protest and violence ended. His hands show no sign of injury. Nor does his shoulder, as he takes off gear.
His feet seem fine–he is seen kicking items out of the area. And his head, which had been protected by a riot helmet, shows no sign of injury, either.
Not only did Gonell lie to Congress and federal judges in “victim impact” statements, he has repeatedly lied during media interviews and on social media about his experience.
WATCH:
Here is Gonell, who appears to have suffered no physical injuries on Jan 6, tearfully telling CNN about his woes.
Part of Gonell’s sworn testimony to J6 committee in July 2021. “This is how I’m going to die.”
Gonell also lied about trying to save Rosanne Boyland.
There is no video of him attempting to resuscitate her at any point. Further, video of Rosanne’s lifeless body at 4:27 does not show Gonell anywhere in her vicinity.
After Republicans won the House and threatened numerous investigations including into Jan 6, Ofc Gonell retired. He again lied about what happened:
Well, he is either a Democrat, where lying comes naturally and as the default reaction or he was paid or coerced to lie. Either way, it’s perjury. If there had been non-leftists on the committee instead of Pelosi’s claw-picked nodding donkeys, someone might have asked for some medical records. More evidence the entire event was a Democrat planned operation.
There are honest cops (the majority) and there are crooked cops. Democrats and crooked cops gravitate towards each other.
I am told he is a cry on demand crybaby.
