This is a great start but it's certainly not full "justice" for these victims.
Compensation for lost income, bankrupted businesses, and other expenses and losses caused by the government's assault on these individuals is needed, plus substantial punitive damages, all coming, to the extent possible, from the personal accounts of the perps in and out of Congress who conducted this serious, treasonous, long-running crime. And even all THAT won't restore the lives of those who died while falsely incarcerated or give back the time the victims spent imprisoned.
If the person was defending themselves or another against violence, I have a different opinion.
Either way, unless the assault was egregious and caused injury, I'd say that being incarcerated without trial for four years in a situation where serious mistreatment was widely reported is MORE than enough punishment already.
I was there and this is not true. First, there was absurdly scripted role playing, where cops helplessly backed into closets to be locked inside. Worse, there was persistent acts of provocation, including the use of flash bangs, to drive the crowd into the tiny, meaningless line of overwhelmed officers. Then, you had people assaulted by Capital Hill Police for attempting to protect people from being trampled.

If someone hit a cop, I don't think they should be pardoned.
I back the blue.
If it was an assault, I agree with you.

They wouldn't have needed to defend themselves if they simply complied in the first place.

In that mayhem, compliance was not an option.
