In another interesting twist, a former U.S. Capitol Police officer made an announcement that could even further damage the already-weakened narrative put forth by the left regarding the J6 riot.
Since House Speaker Mike Johnson decided to release all of the footage taken on Jan. 6, 2021, at the Capitol building, the riot has become a topic of conversation once again.
Advertisement Former U.S. Capitol Police Lieutenant Tarik Johnson, who was present at the Capitol on that day, has been challenging the government narrative on the incident and has indicated that the authorities on the ground were ill-prepared for what happened.
In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Johnson indicated that he had spoken with legal counsel to understand the legalities surrounding the release of the audio to make sure he wasn't opening himself up to legal problems.
The former police officer said he had entrusted the information to Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch and indicated that a journalist working with The Blaze "Has permission to receive the info and do whatever he believes is best with that info in the unlikely event I disappear." Johnson ended by noting that officers from every agency that responded to the riot "Should have been more prepared that day."

Advertisement This release introduces another dimension to the discourse surrounding J6. Johnson's former position as a police officer gives him a perspective that those interested in weaponizing the incident against their political opposition would not want anyone to hear.
There is a reason why the anti-Trump House Select Jan. 6 Committee would not bother to take testimony from Johnson.
