January 6 Insurrection

Officer Caught on His Own Bodycam Cutting the Tarp — Then Blamed a J6 Defendant Under Oath

In the federal trial of Kenneth “Joe” Thomas, a D.C. Metro Police officer testified that Thomas cut open a protective tarp on Capitol scaffolding.

Problem: The officer’s own bodycam footage — played in the same trial — shows him cutting the tarp himself moments earlier.

Judge Dabney Friedrich saw the video. Her response? “Let’s move on.”

No consequences. No referral. Trial continued.

This is why every second of January 6 footage matters. When video directly contradicts sworn testimony — and nothing happens — it undermines trust in the entire process.

Watch the footage. Share it. Demand accountability.

What do you think should happen when an officer’s testimony is disproven by their own camera?
