(CNN) New police radio dispatches and security footage from the January 6 US Capitol riot paint an even sharper picture of how the insurrectionists at times showed little fear of the police as they launched a large and coordinated attack. As rioters began to overrun the officers, creating an untenable situation, radio waves filled with desperate shouts and requests for back up. Security camera footage near the House chamber shows the rioters waving in reinforcements to come around the corner. Other video shows officers crowding a door to the Capitol beating back insurrectionists with batons, while on the other side, insurrectionists fight back with shields. The multiple angles of security footage and body camera also highlight the stunning restraint by police officers, and suggest the riot could have been deadlier had officers acted more aggressively.
