Michael Joseph Foy

Media footage shows Foy outside of the Capitol with a crowd attempting to enter through an archway. During this time, eyewitnesses state members of the crowd were subjected to police brutality and unable to remove themselves due to the pressing of bodies in the crowd.

While the government accused Foy of resisting and assaulting officers with a hockey stick, it’s possible he acted in self-defense or was protecting others..

Foy’s defense asked for additional footage from officers’ body-worn cameras so the court could have a clearer picture. Before his release, he only received footage from two officers, though there were nearly a dozen around Foy that day. He still awaits access to information about the charges against him.

Please keep in mind that in the United States, every citizen charged with a crime is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
