Current DOJ Official Urged Protesters to ‘Kill’ Cops at Jan 6 Capitol Protest

Olivia Rondeau 8 Aug 2025

A current Justice Department official and former FBI special agent was caught on video telling fellow January 6, 2021 protest attendees to “kill” police officers, bodycam footage obtained by NPR revealed.

Jared Wise, a senior adviser in the Trump administration’s DOJ, acknowledged he yelled “kill ’em” multiple times while he witnessed officers getting attacked on the Capitol grounds that day, court transcripts showed.

Wise had already entered the Capitol building through a door that had been forced open by rioters before heading back outside about 10 minutes later, where he remained on the grounds for several hours as the protest continued.

Police bodycam footage shared by NPR reporter Tom Dreisbach shows Wise berating cops as other members of the crowd pushed into them and knocked at least one over, calling them “Nazi” and “Gestapo” before escalating to “Kill ’em! Kill ’em! Get ’em! Get ’em!”

Is Jared Wise a fan of the band, Body Count?

True, that. I never saw any video of protesters forcing a door open. The outside doors to the building are more secure than most gun safes--unless someone inside opens it up. That part I recall seeing, where the doors were opened to protesters by police inside. Maybe the protesters weren't moving fast enough the disrupt the critical objection phase of certifying the electoral ballots.
