Since it’s not clear from the post itself or the MSNBC article, the five felony charges were:
obstruction of an official proceeding
civil disorder
entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds while carrying a dangerous weapon
disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building while carrying a dangerous weapon
tampering with a document or proceedings
He also was found guilty of the misdemeanor offense of disorderly conduct in a Capitol building.

People who require a walking stick to mosey about the level ground of DC and the Capitol probably wouldn’t meet the fitness requirement to be a cop. If he’s walking over the bodies of fellow officers, it might be an unstable surface, but weird that he’d be prepared for that eventuality.
