There's a great YouTube video that collects a ton of footage taken through the day you can review to see the behavior of the protestors on that day.[1]
As an aside, since you appear to feel that breaching a threshold is grounds to review the behavior of all parties in the vicinity—regardless of their involvement—do you feel similarly about breaching country border thresholds?
The reason I ask is simple: nobody disputes that people who illegally entered the capitol should be held responsible. What is under dispute are the methods used to determine who that was. The particular method outlined in the article implicates a number of completely innocent protestors. Further, it leaves ample room for things like "lists" used to monitor protestors—even if they haven't committed a crime.
I'm trying to understand your principled threshold for engaging in law enforcement tactics that involve people who haven't committed a crime.

And here we have a situation (an assault on a single building) that is almost perfectly suited to exactly this technique. > The particular method outlined in the article implicates a number of completely innocent protestors. Again, I see little evidence for an organized protest outside the capitol. Virtually everyone walked across that barrier. And given that, yeah, I think it's reasonable to assume that people in the capitol building cell viscinity without an existing alibi are suspects.
