U.S. Representative Barry Loudermilk from Georgia demands that law enforcement be held accountable for the Capitol violence on January 6. After watching a GoPro video of an undercover police officer inciting demonstrators to scale obstacles and enter the building, Loudermilk seeks clarification on the role that undercover police played in the event.
Loudermilk acknowledged the validity of a GoPro video that was made public this past March and in which at least one undercover D.C. Metropolitan Police officer is seen encouraging unlawful activities in an interview with Just The News. “We know that it is one of their officers and at one point he is encouraging, and it appears he’s encouraging, he’s definitely helping people climb the scaffolding, and he’s telling them ‘go, go, go,’” According to Loudermilk, Just the News.

“Why is an officer encouraging people to climb the scaffolding and go into the Capitol? And secondly, why did the MPD Metropolitan Police support department decide to put undercover officers in the crowd? Was there intelligence that they had that was or was not passed on to the Capitol Police and what did the Capitol police do with that evidence, if they got it?” he added.
On camera, a plainclothes MPD officer can be seen climbing scaffolding while encouraging demonstrators to do the same. He shouted “go, go, go,” and “keep moving,” constantly, urging them to move toward the Capitol pavilion despite their dangerous situation. Concerns concerning the function of law enforcement in such circumstances and their obligation to ensure people’s safety are raised by this worrisome behavior.
After the January 6 defendant, William Pope of Topeka, Kansas, filed a motion on February 21, the video was acquired. “While my descriptions of the undercover MPD officers are accurate, the media and the public should not have to rely on my descriptions alone,” Pope wrote.
“It is in the interests of justice that this exhibit in support of my motion be seen by all.”
Loudermilk wrote the chief of the D.C. Metropolitan Police a letter on May 16 demanding further details on every undercover agent present that day. Additionally, he asked for any body camera footage from the demonstration, “all officer and department after action reports and after incident reports concerning the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.”

He also requested “a list identifying all MPD officers on duty on January 6, 2021, who were engaged in activities concerning the restoration of civil order at or concerning the U.S. Capitol Complex, including their unit and any information on their assignment, and whether they were in uniform or plain clothes in their role as a law enforcement officer on January 6, 2021.”
