Replying to @alanfeuer
Ibrahim posted some of his photos to a WhatsApp channel used by other law enforcement agents. At around 2:30 pm, one of them asked him if was carrying his duty weapon and badge.
"I need to know this mark," the other law enforcement agent wrote.

When DOJ's Inspector General's office interviewed Ibrahim in March, he said he'd gone to the Capitol to help a friend in the FBI document the event.
But the friend later told investigators that Ibrahim had "crafted this story in an effort to 'cover his ass.'

(46,081 posts)However innocently, need to have their asses fired/kicked out with a warning to anyone else who would try to employ them in similar work. This is unconscionable.

(8,346 posts)If you were on capitol grounds you were in a metropolitan police declared riot. People were told to leave they did not they are involved in a criminal act. This fucker deserves jail time. Lots of it, loss of job should just be the first step. He is a Fed who was involved in the attack of other federal law enforcement officers and on democracy itself
Fuck him.

(46,081 posts)I just wanted to emphasize that these types need to be rooted out of law enforcement and the military. We know they're in there, and they're a danger to this country and the people in it. After that, I'm happy for the legal system to take care of them. But they should not be in any occupation that involves carrying a gun.
