I was at the rear of the Capitol at the point of the breach. It was obvious that Antifa was involved. It was very well organized. Me and a couple of other veterans attempted to tell the people around us what was being caused by Antifa. They had a few of them at the metal barricades shaking it to cause the police to approach them in an attempt to secure the barricade.
The really strange thing was that there were only about 6-8 "police" between the rally participants and the Capitol Building. The so called officer's looked really frightened and physically not what I would have expected for security of such a important Institution as the Capitol. I was a police officer several years ago and it just didn't make sense how security was implemented and the amount of officers present. Many people were making the same remarks especially when the instigators began to engage the police at the barricade.
As the officers attempted to wrestle the barricade from antifa there was one guy funneling 3-4 antifa at a time to also grab the barricade from the officers. Several minutes into it the same guy waived in a few more. This was done in order to draw the officer's to a smaller portion of the fence. At this point antifa pulled hard on the barricade toward themselves in order to pull officers off balance and into their group in order to assault the police. One officer did loose their balance and was kicked and hit by the antifa at that position. Several of the "good guys" were able to protect the officer long enough so he could fall back.
Finally, there was about 10 people yelling to to the crowd for them to follow them to the Capitol. At first there was a pause from the rally participants to follow, then they did move forward. The antifa were easily identify because they were wearing helmets, gas masks, plate carriers, boots and many were wearing bofeng radios. There was one guy who was wearing a red, white and blue Spartan helmet. He stayed in the rear area and appeared to be one of the organizers.
Once again things really didn't make sense at the point where the struggle was taking place at the barricade between the police and antifa. 4 officer's in full black battle rattle exited the Capitol and stood at the top of the steps. Three of them were caring M-4 rifles and one was holding a gas firing gun with a rotating cylinder. As the crowd made contact with the "officers" they offered very little resistance to the crowd and moved out of the way of people to enter the Capitol. I don't understand why the gas gun was not deployed. If used I believe that would have dispersed the crowd because 95 % of them did not want to enter the building. They appeared to satisfied to get their pictures taken. I understand why deadly force was not used because it did not appeared that the crowd was not showing aggressive behavior. The only people I saw breaking windows was antifa.
This took place in approximately 15 minutes. I wondered where the back up was, however none arrived at that point. Since I stayed at the barricaded area I decided to leave because of what was occurring. 20 minutes latter law enforcement was responding to the Capitol in their vehicles. At the same time of their response I observed a bus with the military exiting it.
