Did Riley know that there was a coordinated conspiracy that tried to overthrow the election and install a dictator?

Did he agree with that sentiment?

Or was he duped into thinking it was just another demonstration? America has always been pretty tolerant of demonstrations.

Riley testified that he has helped to arrest over 1K demonstrators over his 25 year career as a Capitol police officer. Funny that he has a long history of arresting demonstrators but then decided to help a J6 demonstrator avoid being arrested. Seems like he only arrested people if he didn’t agree with what they were demonstrating against instead of enforcing the law equally.

Well since we could all see the violent coup attempt happening live, and it was the primary topic of discussion for the next few months I doubt anyone is innocent is still pretending it was just a demonstration.
