A ex-cop found guilty of multiple counts related to the Capitol riot said he was 'drinking too much' and reading articles fed to him by the Facebook algorithm

"A former police officer who was convicted on multiple counts related to participating in the Capitol riot said he was under stress, drinking too much, and in a "rabbit hole" of conspiracy theories leading up to the insurrection.
Thomas Robertson, 49, was a police officer in Rocky Mount, Virginia, but was fired shortly after his arrest in January 2021. In April, he was found guilty by a jury on six counts, including obstructing an official proceeding and entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds while carrying a dangerous weapon.
Robertson said the stress he was experiencing caused him to drink more than he ever had before, adding that "shameful" social media posts he made leading up to January 6 were "a product of stress, alcohol abuse, and submersion in deep 'rabbit holes' of election conspiracy theory."
