Almost three years later, it still blows me away that the FBI used a screenshot from my video of a protester fist-bumping a Capitol Police officer in my Statement of Facts. I saw zero violence. This was brought up repeatedly in my bench trial. I was sentenced to prison anyway.

When I went to prison, I expected my fellow inmates would say they weren't guilty. Instead, they said, "I was guilty of 4 things, not the 8 things I was charged with. I had to take the plea and now I'm here for X number of years.". Our "justice" system is broken. We need reform.
