.thereidout Blog: The first person convicted of assaulting a police officer during the January 6 attack on the Capitol is a former cop. Here's why he could receive more than a slap on the wrist.

had a familiar feel to it. Like a crooked officer, Webster claimed he’d been provoked by Washington, D.C., police OfficerPerhaps someone should have reminded Webster he’s not a police officer anymore and such excuses for extrajudicial beatings don’t carry the same weight they might have in years past, especially when used to justify beating police officers.

Nearly 800 defendants have been charged in connection with the Jan. 6 attack, and more than 250 have pleaded guilty,. Several of them received minor sentencing recommendations from prosecutors, to the dismay of some judges. Webster’s case may ultimately fall in that same vein, but its unique severity could also cause him to receive more than a mere slap on the wrist.

thereidout The first After a year and a half? Omg what a horrible insurrection 🤣😂

thereidout Because you hate his cause. That's the only reason you want him punished. Has nothing to do with rule of law, you politically disagree so you want him to be put in his place.

thereidout I'm just waiting for somebody to do some real time. Keep slapping them on the hand and next time ur going to wish u donemore more.

thereidout Others have plead guilty though , this guy plead guilty to assaulting three officers on the 6th

thereidout So much for the thin blue line. This cop broke all the rules of the department and sanity when he decided to kill other policeman. He (name not worth mentioning) needs a long time to think about what he's done .

thereidout It’s all about holding those in public safety/service… to a higher standard.

thereidout why should former cops be any worse than working ones?

thereidout And the black cop who shot unarmed white ashli is where ?

thereidout 👿💩😈
