Earlier at "Justice for J6" defendants rally:

Police surround masked man reportedly armed with a firearm.

He tells them where the gun is, and they pull out his badge.

He's undercover law enforcement.

Without disarming or handcuffing him, police extract him from the event.

"Are you undercover?" the officers asked the masked man, who gave them a badge.

I guess not anymore.

The masked man claimed “I’m just here” when asked if he’s undercover as he presented a badge to justify the gun he was apparently wearing, before being pulled out.

Other than undercover, he could have hypothetically been simply masked & off duty with his badge and gun concealed.

My full, uncut footage of an apparent masked and non-uniformed law enforcement officer displaying his badge and being extracted after getting confronted for carrying a concealed firearm at the "Justice for J6" defendants rally today.

FYI, I deleted and now posted an edited version of this tweet.

Originally, I wrote "uniformed" when I obviously meant "non-uniformed."

This was a pure typo, and I apologize for error.

I hate that Twitter doesn't have an edit button.

The USCP made a statement about the armed man who presented a badge and was removed from the event without being disarmed or handcuffed on scene.

They say “it is not clear why the man was at the demonstration” and that they charged him for the gun.

They don’t mention his badge.

Questions remain about the situation that occurred yesterday outside the Capitol with respect to an apparently armed, masked person who was escorted out of the event without being disarmed or handcuffed after presenting a badge.

I've sent these questions to the USCP.

BIG UPDATE: The individual arrested at Saturday's rally at the Capitol was a federal agent, and he will not be prosecuted.

U.S. attorney says they're "'not moving forward with charges' but did not provide additional information about the decision."
