WATCH: J6 Footage Suggests Capitol Police Participation in Riot May Have Been Precipitated by Firing Munitions Into Peaceful Crowd

House Speaker Mike Johnson has taken a significant step toward transparency by releasing over 40,000 hours of footage related to the January 6th Capitol events, challenging the prevailing narrative surrounding the incident. The move, long overdue according to many, aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the events that transpired on J6 and dispel what some argue is a distorted portrayal fueled by selective media coverage.

The released footage, including Capitol Police body camera footage, offers new perspectives on the events of January 6th. Contrary to the limited snippets previously circulated by the media, the extended videos suggest a more nuanced picture of the day’s occurrences. Critics argue that the initial portrayal of J6 as an insurrection may have been misleading, and that police actions and establishment spin played a role in transforming what started as a protest into a riot.

One particularly noteworthy revelation from the footage is the apparent invitation of protesters into the Capitol building by Capitol Police as they peacefully assembled in the corridors—a stark contrast to the subsequent portrayal of these individuals as “insurrectionists.” Videos circulating on social media, such as that of Matthew Perna, who initially pled guilty and believed he might face 6-12 months in prison, raise questions about the fairness of the legal process and the consequences of the narrative surrounding J6.

Moreover, the newly released footage raises concerns about the events leading up to the alleged riots. Video clips suggest that Capitol Police fired rubber bullets, tear gas grenades, and stun grenades into crowds of peaceful protesters before any attempt to enter the Capitol building occurred. This has led to speculation about whether such actions may have triggered the subsequent violence, creating footage that was widely circulated as proof of an insurrection.
