Tarik Johnson, a former Lieutenant with the Capitol Police, who was on site during the disarray that struck the Capitol Building on January 6, 2021, and gave the critical order to evacuate the House and Senate, has come forward to share his perspective. Some critics of the previous presidential administration have painted a certain picture of the events, but Johnson disputes their version of events.

In recent online discourse, Johnson clarified his assessment of the day. 'The event that unfolded on January 6 was not an insurrection,' he held. His words received little attention at the time, despite the significant position he held on that day.

Johnson pointed out the irony of his stance, 'While it would serve me to label the incident as an insurrection due to my role as the Commander who ordered and spearheaded the evacuation of the Senate and the House, I stand by my convictions. My decision came after fruitless appeals to then Assistant Chief Yogananda Pittman for permission to evacuate the Capitol, as chaos escalated outside.'

As Johnson remarked, he was quite vocal at the time, but his pleas to Pittman, who was monitoring the situation from the Command Center, fell on deaf ears. At the same moment, Chief Steven A Sund was busy securing reinforcements from the National Guard and assistance from local law enforcement agencies.
