Really all the statements about how attacks on law enforcement will not be tolerated - which of course they should not - make me ill when they are being uttered by the same people who are okay with pardoning the J6 rioters who violently attacked law enforcement protecting the Capitol. WTAF. |
“The Trump Administration has a zero tolerance policy for criminal behavior and violence, especially when that violence is aimed at law enforcement officers trying to do their jobs,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement.
Haha. Right. |
We're all just waiting for Trump to go away. Tiptoeing around January 6th, pretending it was NBD. When he is gone, then everyone will condemn it. |
How can she even say that with a straight face?? |
I think the agitators in CA need to be arrested. I also wanted every J6er that attacked law enforcement prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The last thing I wanted was for them to be pardoned. |
I don't think anyone is okay with the attacks that happened on law enforcement officers on J6, so your argument kind of falls flat. The issue with the J6 prosecutions is they had people serving literally years in jail on trespassing charges (not assault-- trespassing). This is hard to justify on its own, but then there's some circumstantial evidence that some of them did not understand they were trespassing (eg, guards waved them in, gave tours, etc). Under no circumstances should this be equated with being okay with violence against the Capitol Police or any other LEOs. People who assault our public servants should be prosecuted fully and should not receive any public sympathy regardless of what political side they claim to support. |
ICE and DSH will have to pay millions to all the people they are attacking. |
You're a nutter and unpatriotic. |
Bullsh#t. They are criminals who support republicans. This is the only reasons they are treated differently. They stormed the capital and are violent dangerous criminals. |
+1 traitor — the police were not effing giving tours that day. People were scaling the walls and going through windows. There crossed police barricades. Anyone climbing through a window knows they were trespassing. It was obvious and you know it. |
If I'm right and your wrong, what does that mean about your information environment? |
Absolutely no one walked into the Capitol building on January 6th unaware of what they were doing. No one. |
You really have the nerve to double down. 😳 You’re not right. Period. The end. |
Watch the tapes and draw your own conclusions. I saw video of the Capitol Police waving their arms in a welcoming gesture. Which is what police training at the time would have favored-- deescalation tactics. Remember that these police spent the summer before guarding the Capitol during the BLM riots and were instructed to deescalate. That's what they did on J6 and it was good police work. But to the protesters, being waved in and given a tour could absolutely be mistaken for being welcome. In any case-- even if I were wrong on this point, which I'm not, there's a huge difference between trespassing and assaulting LEOs. People who assault LEOs should have enhanced prison sentences. |
And you have the nerve to support the idea that since some people assaulted police officers on J6, that the left should be able to attack them also? Like that makes any sense? Stunning lack of morality. |
