As the nation continues to learn more about the attack on the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, footage obtained by HuffPost reveals new details about how rioters broke through a police line that day as well as about the threats of lethal violence coming from the mob of Donald Trump supporters.

One set of videos shows Nolan Cooke, 24, breaching the Capitol as he wore a camera around his neck and recorded video while shouting obscenities at officers protecting the building.

Cooke was sentenced to one year and one day in prison Friday on felony charges for breaking into the Capitol and disrupting a joint session of Congress to certify Joe Bidens Electoral College win. The sentence comes the day after the House select committees first public hearing on the insurrection.

In Cookes recordings, he is seen wearing a blue jean jacket and black gloves as he hoists an American flag toward the sky while surrounded by hundreds of other Trump supporters. While standing in front of a barricade, Cooke tells someone, Hey, lets walk around a little bit.

In another recording, Cooke stands behind a person in a black Sons of Trump sweatshirt. A person talking to the crowd in the background near Cooke asks them, Are you all here? to which Cooke immediately shouts back, Yeah!

An additional recording that Cooke posted on his Snapchat account records him shouting, Move the gates! repeatedly, then saying, This is our fucking land! as he pushes to lead the crowd forward.

While U.S. Capitol Police officers stand in front of him, Cooke opens the barricades up again, saying, This is our land!

He fights back with the officers as they attempt to block the crowd.

Were taking this motherfucker. Were fucking taking it, Cooke shouts as police are attacked.
