Discussion:
On January 28, 2021, (SD- I) was interviewed and provided a written statement.
[EXHIBIT 11 & 12]
When asked to explain what was happening at the 2:34:40 mark on the CCTV footage,
stated, "I mean just what you see. Trying to stop the people. I think at some point we realized we
weren't going to be able to, so ... my thought at that point was get to the door. J 11,'as thinA"ing at
that poinl.!2..!!:J:.,!;.nd close the door, after we get to the door and get them stopped. You 'II see
Sergeant ----.;ump out again, he tries and we get them stopped at the actual exit door. And
then ... they were arguing back and forth, you know, hold them there. And I was thinking if we
could get them pushed back just a little bit more, we could get the door closed but then I realized
•
ifwe get that door closed, it's not locked." Additionally, • • stated, "Can I say something
here? I mean, you can sit here and count them all day. I could see out that door and there were
thousands ofpeople. And in my perspective, at that point, they were just pouring in. So. I mean,
it's nice for you to like, this is like the third time you've counted protestors. And then like you had
this number here, this number there, it seemed like a lot more. "
OPR: "At any point, did somebody in that group call out what you guys had, the situation, um,
right here, specifically witlz the door being open? "
"Before you see me in this video, I can't recall if the call came out over the radio for
door breach at the Upper West Terrace Door or if I initiated it. I put out over the radio - I was
at the Upper West Terrace Door, I had/our or five officers with me, I needed more people to
stop the breach, Cause like I said, when I looked out the hallway and out the door, it was just a
sea ofpeople and it looked like they were all funneling right in that door. I mean, obviously
looking back that wasn't the case, but that's what it looked like. I called out for - I /mow I put out
over the radio, I think I called it the second time. Um, but at no point, could I hear a response or
one that was coherent to me at that point?
When asked to explain why he and the other officers were standing to the side as unauthorized
•
individuals entered the UWT Door, • • stated, "With only five officers. there was only so
much we could do. Obvio1~ ried to stop it, it didn't last very long. We just waited/or an
opportunity and Sergeant lllllllllllltumps right on when the flow slows down again ... he jumps
back in front and we kinda stop them therefor a while."
"On Ja1111a1y 06, 2021, I arrived at the Capitol to begin my shift at approx. 1400 hours.
An active riot was already in progress. I responded to the Lower West Terrace Door
where rioters were attempting to breach Upon arrival I found CDU officers engaged
with rioters but holding. Almost immediately after my arrival a breach of the North Door
was broadcasted. Myself and several officers responded up the stairs and met rioters in
the Crypt. A seve,-e/y undermanned police line was formed.
Shortly after the line was formed rioters surged and forced the police line back and
through the Crypt. I was pinned in a corner as the crowd surged through and out of the
Crypt. As the crowd thinned I was able to escape through the west entrance to the Crypt.
CAPD_000000314
5 OPR Case #21-006 D
Myself and several officers moved south in an attempt to meet up with another police
line.
We stopped in the OAP hallway just south ofthe Crypt where we held rioters for a shol't
time. Wizen it became obvious holding the rioters in the OAP hallway was useless as
rioters were already behind us, we returned along the OAP hallway in another attempt to
find a police line.
We stopped at the Upper West Terrace Door which was in alarm and open. Rioters were
entering through the open door. I advised dispatch and requested back up, I was unable
to determine if anyone was responding. The officers with me were able to stop the rioters
from ellleringfor a short time, howe,,er with only 5 of us at the door we wouldn't be able
to hold for long.
A call came over the radio for "Shots Fired on the House Floor" and I was unable to
determine from radio traffic if anyone was responding. The situation at the Upper West
Terrace door was worsening. Rioters were becoming more agitated and ang,y; more and
more rioters behind us were ta/...ing an interest in what we were doing. Based on the
numbers of rioters and their action I believed we would11 't be able to hold the door. I
prioritized the Shots Fired call as more important and pulled everyone back to respond to
the House Floor, where I understood the shots were fired. "
On January 29, 2021, (PSB-1O-CIS) was interviewed and provided the following written
statement: [EXHIBIT 13 & 14]
"On January 6, 2021, I was assigned to the Inaugural Task Force (/TF) responsible for
various duties in preparation for the 59th Inaugural Ceremonies. I was in the ITF office
located at the Government Printing Office (GPO) monitoring the USCP radio and
observing current events on the local news broadcast. Myself along with other ITF
members monitored the deteriorating conditions from the demonst/'ation march and
concluded after the police line on the West Front was broken that we would self-deploy to
the Capitol if the Capitol building were breached. Shortly after formulating this plan, a
priority for a breach of the Senate Door was broadcast, myself along with Sgt. -
Sgt.
and /11spector••• Sgt. - - •- Sgt. -

•
- - Captain _
loading dock where we
then made our way to the Capitol.
Our first contact with the crowd occurred in tire Capitol Crypt where we became involved
in a physical confrontation with approximately 150 rioters. There were approximately 40
USCP Officers attempting to hold a police line in the middle of the Crypt. The aggressors
used mace and bear spray against the police line which then collapsed. I was pinned
against a wall in the crypt, bearing all effort in an attempt to not be crushed, I was able
to slip past the wall during a crowd surge and was pushed into the OAP corridor. While
in the OAP corridor, a large contingent of rioters began walking into the hallway. I
immediately began giving verbal orders for the crowd to leave and began efforts to
deescalate the situation from another round ofphysical violence. While in the back and
forth with the group, Ofc. - tells me that there is a CDU squad wailing around
CAPD_000000315
0 6 OPR Case #21-006 D
the corner and that we need to lead the group there. We began to fall back to the area
inside the upper west terrace door where there were no support elements. When the
group arrived at the door, I began attempting to direct the crowd to the nearest exit
which was the upper west terrace door. 1 believed the door to be in alarm and to have
been breached. Several people exited out of the door from the group where then I
observed people from the crowd outside begin to enter the door. I along with Sgt. -
Ofc. - Ofc. - and Lt. tsic] made an initial effort to repel
the group ofpeople that were entering the door. A physical confrontation occurred where
we began pushing and hitting the leading edge of the crowd in an attempt to expel them
fi·om the building. There was an older lady in the front of the group carrying a protest
sign that began to scream in pain as she was c,·ushed between us. The group stopped
their physical effort to push into the building and this is where I made a second attempt
to de-escalate the situation and attempted to convince the group to leave. At some point, I
specifically told the group that the building was closed and that's why they were not
allowed in. During this dialogue, the main individual in the group is using language to
provoke me to respond with physical force. He's stating and repeating all the political
rhetoric that the election was stolen, that the process was unconstitutional, that President
Trump told us to come here and occupy the building that we (police) were 011 the wrong
side ofhist01y. The group began chanting to let us in. Throughout the entire dialogue
with the group l used techniques to attempt to calm the group, I told the group that what
they were doing was wrong, that in their arguments ofdefending the constitution that
they ·were disrespecting the building (The Capitol) and disrespecting the process. At this
point, an individual in the group asked ifI was ready to die to protect these people, 1
immediately attempted to deflect the question and de-escalate when the same individual
asked for a second time ifI was ready to die for this place at which point I responded that
I swore an oath to protect this place and that's what I'm going to do. At this point, Lt.
[sic] grabs me by the shoulder, and pulls me back away from the crowd where
the people at the door then begin to enter the building. I believe at this point I voiced a
request over the USCP radio to have the key brought lo the door to re-secure it. As the
crowd begins to enter, l recall standing there looking for weapons and did not see any.
It's at this point that is captured in media and social media videos that someonefi·om the
crowd thanks me for supporting their cause which then prompted me to respond 'I don't
support you, btll respect it, respect the building'. The video that was captured edits and
removes tire question that was asked as well as the clarifying point of 'respect the
building ' which was then attached to a headline falsely asserting that I showed respect
for the rebellious action the group was ta/...ing. At this point the group is entering, those of
us at the door have exhausted all levels offorce with the exception of deadly force in an
attempt to expel the group. My mindset at this exact moment was a plea that those who
were entering would respect the building and not physically harm it. 1 believe mindset is
also key in the actions l took at the upper west terrace door. I was prepared to fight, I
recognized that we were outnumbered by an adversa,y that was provoking a violent
co11fiw1tation. 1 resolved that had a second confrontation to expel this group occurred,
that the end result would have been lethal force. When Lt. sic] pulled me back,
it caused me to break the cycle ofthought ofpreparing to fight where 1 then transitioned
in my mind to do what was necessary to presen,e life. This included a strategic fall back
and regroup to a position whe,·e we had better numbers and were in a better position to
CAPD_000000316
7 OPR Case #21-006 D
engage another effort to remove these people from the Capitol. Shortly after/ailing back
to regroup, a shots fired call with officer in disll·ess was broadcast over the radio where
then either Ofc. - •••
or Lt. l sic] said we need to get to the House Floor and
defend it. From this point, I /otmd my way to the Capitol Rotunda where I was unable to
progress further to the House Floor due to police lines holding back the crowd at the
hallway into the House corridor.
From this point /01-wa,·d, I found myself /oo/..ingfor problems to solve and was involved
in a number of e.fforls to fi1rther retake the building and safeguard and protect life. I
aided in the evacuation of Congressional stafffrom the Capitol. I connected Virginia
State Police CDU resources with MPD and USCP elements at the lower west terrace
door where they were able to retake the inaugural platform. I coordinated investigative
efforts concerning the Officer involved shooting and further assisted our partner
agencies with the initial ejfo,-ts ofthe investigation into what occurred.
In summa,y, I self-reported the video clip to OPR because I knew that it was edited and
taken out of context to appear to make me and the department look as bad as possible in
this event. Under 110 circumstances do I respect o,- in any part agree with the people that
intentionally and violently invaded the Capitol. "
On February 2, 2021, - (OSP-S0D-2) was interviewed and provided the following written
statement: [EXHIBIT 15 & 16]
"On Janua,y 6, 2021, I was assigned to the Inaugural Task Force at GPO building.
Upon hearing the protest situation al the Capitol become dire, I responded over lo assist.
I emered through the Lower Delaware Door of the Russel right as the lockdown went
into effect. Responded through the subway to the Capitol. Entered the ctypt of the
building and was met by several prolestors. Attempted to hold the police line preventing
access to House Side. Protestors advanced on line, and I was caught crushed in a corner
before reaching the door. Crowd pushing eventually landed me near OAP hallway.
Group ofprotestors gathered, while other officers and I attempted to hold a line.
Protestors advised they 'could take us if they wanted to. 'Advised by colleagues to fall
back. Arrived at Upper West Terrace door. Protestors were entering and exciting door.
•
Door was in.fire alarm mode. Sgt. - - called over radio and asked.for a key to
secure. No radio response. I looked for a lockdown button but nothing but a phone was
nearby. The door is a push bar, opening outward, with no way to even stick an object in
the handles to prevent opening. Attempted to hold a line at the door to prevent further
ently. Protestorsformed on the outside. Other protestors inside appeared at our rear to
exit or remained at rear. Cro-wn size significantly outnumbered officers. Decision was
made to fall back. I was under the impression that CDU was nearby inside. We did not
have the resources to effect any arrests, as only a fe'tv officers, few pair of handcuffs
between the officers, significantly more protestors, no way to safely get the protestors if
arrested to a transport. An attempt to go hands on with the protestors would have yielded
injwy to officers and no acl,;evable objective. Crowd flow entered building. Additional
protestors exited, which again allowed protesters outside to recognize the door was open.
Additional protestors entered. Began to make another attempt at a police line. Was able
•
lo hold crowd temporarily. Sgt. • • tried to rationalize with the crowd to no avail.

Rear of crowd began pushing, causing front ofgroup to advance on the line. Another
decision was made to fall back. With no safe and achievable objectives, the goal was to
find a larger contingent ofofficers and push the crowd outside the building. Moved back
to the OAP hallway, and responded to the House Chamber for the call of 'shots fired. ·"
- stated, "From what I can recall, we were waiting by that door (UWT seconda,y doors)
and as the video shows, we walked through to the outer door and that's when we were standing
•
there. I can 't recall if it was lieutenant • • up front - Sergeant - But Sergeant
was spea/.."ing with a few ofthe rioters. Just sounded like he was llying to reason ·with
them, like not to come in. I was in the back - head on a swivel, checking six, just to make sure
there wasn 't anyone hying to ambush us from behind. I couldn 't really hear what was going 011
in the conversation ... people shouting and screaming. I believe at that time, the door alarm was
going off. .. "
- is shown CCTV footage from the 2:36:50 mark, when the group of unauthorized
individuals pushed passed the officers.
OPR: "Were there any discussions or a11ything made aboltt what you guys are trying to do at
this point?"
- "Not to my /...?Jowledge no. Not with me. I was in the back. I was across from
was just looking back and forth. And eventually I just saw them t,y and push. I
thought we were going to t,y and hold them there but it was a big crowd. I that's when he said
get back, the official said just get back, let em go. "
When asked why • • pulled the group back at the 2:44: 17 mark on the CCTV footage, -
stated that he didn't know if• • saw something and that unauthorized individuals were
coming up behind them asking how to exit because tear gas was being deployed in the Crypt or
the Rotunda. According to - after leaving the UWT Door, he ended up in the Rotunda and
started pushing out a large group of unauthorized individuals.
OPR: "Tell me your thoughts, how do you think it would have played out, ifyou guys would
have actively tried to start pushing back against that group (unauthorized individuals) there? "
- "/ mean personally, I wanted to hold the line there, I wanted to fight them so at least we
would give time so if members needed to get out or if things need to be secured, maybe another
door could have been secured while we held those people back. But I know tactically speaking
there was five of us, it hundreds in a - door. I was ow on the West Terrace so we were
getting pushed back by thousands ofpeople so I know it wouldn 't have gone how we would have
planned. So I understand if it was a tactical decision but you know, for me as an office,· in that
CAPD_000000318
9 QPR Case #21-006 D
situation especially I would have tried my best to hold them back, at least to get the door
closed."
OPR: "During this incident at the Upper West Terrace Door, did you 01· someone in the group
notify communication ofthe situation, advise them of the incident, your /ocatio11, observation?"
- "/ did not. I can 'r recall exactly but I believe one of the officials was calling it out .. Jrom
what I recall, I remember hearing something about the Lower West Terrace Door over the
radio."
- "Or, I'm not familiar with the, the, doors down there, it's the door that was. "
OPR: "Do you know if any attempts were made to get the key, to reset that door at any point?"
- "/don't know but in all honesty, I'm not swprised that we couldn't. Eve,yone was
running aro1111d everywhere ... "
OPR: "Do you believe there was failure to take appropriate police action during the incident al
the Upper West Terrace Door?''
- "Personally, yes, I do. But seeing it fi·om an official's standpoint that was there, I
understand the decision. Based on the day, based on what was going 011, other locations at the
Capitol, we were vastly outnumbered. Who /mows whether we would have gotten hurt or worse if
we tried lo stop them there. But I personally was frustrated that at least we didn't try. "
OPR: "Did you hear anything about a shots fired call, specifically right at that timeframe where
you guys fell back? "
- "I remembered the shots fired call being put out, 1 can 't recall exactly when it was or
when I heard it. It was just obviously a lot going on but I did hear there were shots fired. At first
I thought they said the House Floor, then I thought I heard someone say Senate Floor but it was
the House Floor... "
OPR: "Do you believe your conduct, specifically with this incident, brought discredit to yourself
or the department? "
- "/don't think so. I think we did what we could and given the circumstances and the
resources we had. I think we went above and beyond with the resources we had and the
preparation we had ... we only have jive officers at that door, holding back hundreds, thousands
ofpeople so I believe we didn 't have any discredit on us 01· the department. "

OPR: "As far as use offorce - with the situation at the Upper West Terrace Door and using
deadly force ... what are your thoughts on that, at that time ... was that an option? "
- "/ mean, yes. It 's obviously in our heads - ifI saw a knife or a gun or somebody trying to
use it or they 're trying to come in with it visible, I felt like that would have been justified. In this
situation, were it was just people with flag poles, stick and such, based on what I had already
seen, I feel like it would have just made things worse... "
- con finned he was one of the individuals present, when shown the social media video
of this incident. According to - he ended up near • • and -• in the OAP
hallway. - •
stated, - - yelled to me, there's an MPD squad right here. like back off
the line. I mean there 's like 20 of them and like three of us, it's not going to work out for us. We
back up and kinda gel into that back area there, that's when we kinda wound up being at the
Upper West Te,-race Doors that open up. That door was already in alarm and already going.
There's really not/zing we could do. The MPD officers handled the other protesters, we 're there
and that's how we ended up in that spot.
- "I think that's where he told me that MPD was around the corner. "
- "Yep."
OPR: "So right there ... was there a plan and what was it?" (CCTV 2:32:35)
- "We were just told that there was an MPD squad behind us, like a hard platoon
squad."
OPR: "Was there an MPD squad there, when you came around?"
- Yeah, but on the other - I'm not sure of the orientation here ... so on the north. "
According to - when he walked through the UWT secondary doors, the UTW door
was in alann and open.
OPR: (2:35:54) "So there is three people at first and then eve,yone starts pouring in. Can you
go through, kinda what's going on right here? "
- "I don 't remember exactly like what was said. I mean, I !mow there was people
coming in and going out of that area but at that point like there's so many of them and only jive
CAPD_000000320
11 OPR Case #21-006 D
of us. There 's not a whole Jot that we can do about it and we can 't relock those doors without the
keys."
OPR: "Do you remember the protester pushing passed you or was it was just the fact that there
too many to handle I guess? "
Riggleman: "I mean at this point, there not really fighting us. So it's - you have to take into
consideration here, if they 're not fighting, there are some in there that are fighting you. We have
no tactical advantage at this poil1l, like nothing, we are by ourselves. "
- was shown CCTV footage of the 2:36:50 - 2:44:06 mark, which showed the
unauthorized individuals pushing passed the officers and the officer forming a police line once
the flow of unauthorized individuals slows down. - was upset that his actions at the
UWT were being brought into question and stated, "There's no, I mean, even ifyou look at our
use offorce, I mean you 're a sergeant, use offorce, what would you do there ... because there's
nothing that you can do. Y011 can 't use lethal force, look at how many there are nor do you have
justification for doing it. What happens when you hit slide lock - they 're gonna take the gun from
you. You can't use OC, you can't use batons here, where's that going to get you. In my opinion
we won this, because eve,y one of us when home - we lost three officers as a result ofthat day
but all of here went home that day. And "This is a result of the department 'sfailures on so many
levels here. "
- was asked what happened at the 2:44: 17 mark on the CCTV footage, when
pulls the group back and they leave the UWT Door. - stated, "No, I mean you could
barely hear each other when this happened because the amount ofpeople that were in there ... "
OPR: "So where did you guys go after this, do you remember?"
Riggleman: / remember going back out through those doors, like the secondary doors but I think
I went up lo the Rotunda because I think they called 011/ shots fired somewhere... "
OPR: ''Did you realize that when you guys left the Upper West Terrace Door - that that was
going to allow more protesters to come into the building ... was that a thought? "
Riggleman: "No, not when you hear a shots fired. Like obviously we 're leaving there with
intention not just meandering around at that point."
OPR: "Did you or someone notify communication of the situation that you guys had at the
Upper West Terrace Door, advise them of the incident, your location, obsen,ations - anything
like that? "

resources we had. I think we went above and beyond with the resources we had
and the preparation we had ... we only have jive officers at that door, holding
back hundreds, thousands ofpeople so I believe we didn't have any discredit on
us or the department. "

FIRST (GROUND) FLOOR PLAN SCAll·
On January 06, 2021 I arrived at the Capitol to begin my shift at approx. 1400 hours. An
active riot was already in progress. I responded to the Lower West Terrace Door where
rioters were attempting to breach. Upon arrival I found CDU officers engaged with
rioters but holding. Almost immediately after my arrival a breach of the North Door was
broadcasted. Myself and several officers responded up the stairs and met rioters in the
Crypt. A severely undermanned police line was formed.
Shortly after the line was fanned rioters surged and forced the police line back and
through the Crypt. I was pinned in a comer as the crowd surged through and out of the
Crypt. As the crowd thinned I was able to escape through the west entrance to the Crypt.
Myself and several officers moved south in an attempt to meet up with another police
line.
We stopped in the OAP hallway just south of the Crypt where we held rioters for a short
time. When it became obvious holding the rioters in the OAP hallway was useless as
rioters were already behind us, we returned along the OAP hallway in another attempt to
find a police line.
We stopped at the Upper West Terrace door which was in alarm and open. Rioters were
entering through the open door. I advised dispatch and requested back up, I was unable
to determine if anyone was responding. The officers with me were able to stop the rioters
from entering for a short time, however with only 5 ofus at the door we wouldn't be able
to hold for long.
A call came over the radio for "Shots Fired on the House Floor" and I was unable to
detennine from radio traffic if anyone was responding. The situation at the Upper West
Terrace door was worsening. Rioters were becoming more agitated and angry; more and
more rioters behind us were taking an interest in what we were doing. Based on the
numbers of rioters and their action I believed we wouldn't be able to hold the door. I
prioritized the Shots Fired call as more important and pulled everyone back to respond to
the House Floor, where I understood the shots were fired.

On January 6, 2021 I was assigned to the Inaugural Task Force (ITF) responsible for
various duties in preparation for the 59th Inaugural Ceremonies. I was in the ITF office
located at the Government Printing Office (GPO) monitoring the USCP radio and
observing current events on the local news broadcast. Myself along with other ITF
members monitored the deteriorating conditions from the demonstration march and
conclude after the police line on the West Front was broken that we would self-deploy to
the Capitol if the Capitol building were breached. Shortly after fonnulating this plan, a
priority for a breach of the Senate Door was broadcast, myself along with Sgt. -
- Sgt. Sgt. - - - Sgt. - - Captain -
- • Inspector • • • responded priority to the • Loading dock where we
then made our way to the Capitol.
Our first contact with the crowd occurred in the Capitol Crypt where we became involved
in a physical confrontation with approximately 150 rioters. There were approximately 40
USCP Officers attempting to hold a police line in the middle of the Crypt. The
aggressors used mace and bear spray against the police tine which then collapsed. I was
pinned against a wall in the crypt, bearing all effort in an attempt to not be crushed, I was
able to slip past the wall during a crowd surge and was pushed into the OAP corridor.
While in the OAP corridor a large contingent of rioters began walking into the hallway. I
immediately began giving verbal orders for the crowd to leave and began efforts to de-
escalate the situation from another round of physical violence. While in the back and
forth with the group, Ofc. - tells me that there is a CDU squad waiting around
the comer and that we need to lead the group there. We began to fall back to the area
inside the upper west terrace door where there were no support elements. When the
group arrived at the door, I began attempting to direct the crowd to the nearest exit which
was the upper west terrace door. I believed the door to be in alann and to have been
breached. Several people exited out of the door from the group where then I observed
people from the crowd outside begin to enter the door. I along with Sgt. - -
Ofc. - Ofc. - and Lt.- made an initial effort to repel the group of
people that were entering the door. A physical confrontation occurred where we began
pushing and hitting the leading edge of the crowd in an attempt to expel them from the
building. There was an older lady in the front of the group carrying a protest sign that
began to scream in pain as she was crushed between us. The group stopped their physical
effort to push into the building and this is where I made a second attempt to de-escalate
the situation and attempted to convince the group to leave. At some point I specifically
told the group that the building was closed and that's why they were not allowed in.
During this dialogue, the main individual in the group is using language to provoke me to
respond with physical force. He's stating and repeating all the political rhetoric that the

election was stolen, that the process was unconstitutional, that President Trump told us to
come here and occupy the building that we (police) were on the wrong side of history.
The group began chanting to let us in. Throughout the entire dialogue with the group I
used techniques to attempt to calm the group, I told the group that what they were doing
was wrong, that in their arguments of defending the constitution that they were
disrespecting the building (The Capitol) and disrespecting the process. At this point, an
Lt.-
individual in the group ask if I was ready to die to protect these people, 1 immediately
attempted to deflect the question and de-escalate when the same individual asked for a
second time if I was ready to die for this place at which point I responded that I swore
and oath to protect this place and that's what I'm going to do. At this point,
grabs me by the shoulder, and pulls me back away from the crowd where the people at
the door then begin to enter the building. I believe at this point l voiced a request over
the USCP radio to have the key bought to the door to re-secure it. As the crowd begins to
enter, I recall standing there looking for weapons and did not sec any. It's at this point
that is captured in media and social media videos that someone from the crowd thanks me
for supporting their cause which then prompted me to respond "I don't support you, but
respect it, respect the building". The video that was captured edits and removes the
question that was asked as well as the clarifying point of"respect the building" which
was then attached to a headline falsely asserting that I showed respect for the rebellious
action the group was taking. At this point the group is entering, those of us at the door
have exhausted all levels of force with the exception of deadly force in an attempt to
expel the group. My mindset at this exact moment was a plea that those who were
entering would respect the building and not physically harm it. I believe mindset is also
key in the actions I took at the upper west terrace door. I was prepared to fight, I
recognized that we were outnumbered by an adversary that was provoking a violent
confrontation. I resolved that had a second confrontation to~ his group occurred,
that the end result would have been lethal force. When Lt. - pulled me back, it
caused me to break the cycle of thought of preparing to fight where I then transitioned in
my mind to do what was necessary to preserve life. This included a strategic fall back
and regroup to a position where we had better numbers and were in a better position to
engage another effort to remove these people from the Capitol. Shortly after falling back
to regroup, a shots fired call with officer in distress was broadcast over the radio where
then either Ofc. - or Lt. - said we need to get to the House Floor and defend
it. From this point I found my way to the Capitol Rotunda where I was unable to
progress further to the House Floor due to police lines holding back the crowd at the
hallway into the House corridor.
From this point forward, I found myself looking for problems to solve and was involved
in a number of efforts to further retake the building and safeguard and protect life. I
aided in the evacuation of Congressional staff from the Capitol. I connected Virginia
State Police CDU resources with MPD and USCP elements at the lower west terrace door
where they were able to retake the inaugural platfonn. I coordinated investigative efforts

the initial efforts of the investigation into what occurred.
In summary, I self-reported the video clip to OPR because I knew that it was edited and
taken out of context to appear to make me and the department look as bad as possib1e in
this event. Under no circumstances do I respect or in any part agree with the people that
intentionally and violently invaded the Capitol.

On January 6, 2021, 1 was assigned to the Inaugural Task Force at GPO Building. Upon
hearing the protest situation at the Capitol become dire, I responded over to assist. I
entered through the Lower Delaware Door of the Russell right as the lockdown went into
effect. Responded through the subway to the Capitol. Entered the crypt of the building
and was met by several protestors. Attempted to hold the police line preventing access to
House Side. Protestors advanced on line, and I was caught crushed in a comer before
reaching the door. Crowd pushing eventually landed me near OAP hallway. Group of
protestors gathered, while other officers and I attempted to hold a line. Protestors advised
they "could take us if they wanted to". Advised by colleagues to fall back. Arrived at
Upper West Terrace door. Protestors were entering and exiting door. Door was in fire
•
alarm mode. Sgt. • • called over radio and asked for a key to secure. No radio
response. I looked for a lockdown button but nothing but a phone was nearby. The door is
a push bar, opening outward, with no way to even stick an object in the handles to
prevent opening. Attempted to hold a line at the door to prevent further entry. Protestors
formed on the outside. Other protestors inside appeared at our rear to exit or remained at
rear. Crowd size significantly outnumbered officers. Decision was made to fall back. I
was under the impression that CDU was nearby inside. We did not have the resources to
effect any arrests, as only a few officers, few pair of handcuffs between the officers,
significantly more protestors, no way to safely get the protestors if arrested to a transport.
An attempt to go hands on with the protestors would have yielded injury to officers and
no achievable objective. Crowd flow entered building. Additional protestors exited,
which again allowed protestors outside to recognize the door was open. Additional
protestors entered. Began to make another attempt at a police line. Was able to hold
•
crowd temporarily. Sgt. • • tried to rationalize with the crowd to no avail. Rear of
crowd began pushing, causing front of group to advance on the line. Another decision
was made to fa]I back. With no safe and achievable objectives, the goal was to find a
larger contingent of officers and push the crowd outside the building. Moved back to the
OAP hallway, and responded to the House Chamber for the call of "shots fired".
