This six-minute clip from Officer Daniel Thau’s body camera shows the accidental discharge of a 40-millimeter canister of a chemical irritant around 2:25 p.m. on January 6, 2021. Thau ordered Officer Richard Khoury to aim a launcher with the canister at protesters assembled on scaffolding erected for Biden’s inauguration. “Fire it up in the air,” Thau instructed Khoury. “Just fucking shoot.” But Khoury misfired. “What the fuck?” he responded. A large cloud of chemical powder fell short of the scaffolding and instead enveloped a crowd of officers standing on the northern end of the west side of the Capitol. Officers coughed and gasped for air; some were bent over in pain. The gas cloud quickly traveled southward to where Officer Brian Sicknick was stationed, propelled by a brisk 18-mile-per-hour wind out of the north in Washington on January 6.

A huge Trump supporter, Cua constructed a large rig for an even larger Trump 2020 banner for his pickup truck. Cua and his flag made an appearance at a campaign rally where Ivanka Trump was speaking.
