      If you were near the Capitol, you were likely dealing with Capitol Hill police. I worked there for seven years and can vouch first-hand, as an extremely anti-cop person, that they were almost always good, helpful, non-power-trippy people. They were on-guard at all times as their only job was guarding the Capitol, so they were used to dealing with all sorts.

      Before I could step away, one of them grabbed my shoulder and screamed “fuck you fake news!” and pushed me.

      I know, no use for asking logic or coherent thoughts here. But - why would you be there if you made all up anyway?
