In a shocking twist to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot narrative, Virginia Beach resident Jacob Hiles, a charter boat captain, claims to have proof that the Capitol Police incited the riots and subsequently threatened him with imprisonment if he shared his findings. Hiles, who was pardoned by former President Donald Trump, now speaks out with video evidence that contradicts the official narrative of the events.

Hiles, who was arrested and charged with crimes related to the protests, has over an hour of video footage from January 6, 2021. He claims that at least nine minutes of this footage show Capitol Police officers using a “super soaker”-style water gun filled with bear spray and pepper spray, which he says incited the riots.

“I have videos that show Capitol Police inciting riots by shooting. They were walking through the crowds with a super soaker-style water gun that was full of bear spray,” Hiles told WAVY-TV 10.
