A BLM operative filming the insurgency. I am amazed he wasn't recognised while filming. He seemed willing to take the risks so no need to sympathise. It would have been bad news had the right wing confederates recognised him.
What wlll be interesting is his filming/documentary evidence of the rather token/pathetic defence of the police line which appears to include a rioter grabbing one of the shields of a officer who was either not trained properly or his heart wasn't into it.
It seems they are alleging he did a little more that "filming the insurgency"...

f. SULLIVAN, once inside the Capitol Building, roamed the building with other individuals who unlawfully entered. During one of his interactions with others, SULLIVAN can be heard in the video saying, “We gotta get this s**t burned.” At other times as he is walking through the Capitol, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, among other things, “it’s our house motherf***ers” and “we are getting this s**t.”

h.At one point in the video, SULLIVAN enters an office within the U.S. Capitol, as seen in the screenshot below. Once inside the office, SULLIVAN approaches a window, also seen in the screenshot below, and states, “We did this s**t. We took this s**t.”
i.While at the window, a knocking noise is heard off-screen. The camera then pans to show more of the window and a broken pane can be seen that was not broken on SULLIVAN’s approach to the window:
SULLIVAN can then be heard saying, “I broke it. My bad, my apologies. Well they already broke a window, so, you know, I didn’t know I hit it that hard. No one got that on camera.” SULLIVAN then exits the office.

Less than two minutes later, while officers are still at the doors and as others yell to break the glass windows in them with various objects, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “Hey guys, I have a knife. I have a knife. Let me up.” SULLIVAN does not, however, ever make it to the doors.

k.Eventually, individuals in the crowd outside the doors announce that the officers are leaving and “giving us the building.” As the crowd begins to part so the officers can leave, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “Haul that Motherf***er out this b***h.”
l.At another time in the video, SULLIVAN is walking down a hallway in the U.S. Capitol with a large group of people. SULLIVAN pans to a closed door and can be heard saying, “Why don’t we go in there.” After someone hits against the door, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “That’s what I’m sayin’, break that s**t.” Further down the hall, SULLIVAN can be heard saying, “It would be fire if someone had revolutionary music and s**t.”
Given the document commences with "Because this Affidavit is submitted for the limited purpose of establishing probable cause to support an application for an arrest warrant, it does not contain every fact known by me or the United States.", it would be interesting to know if there are any other interesting details which were not included.
