Throw the maximum sentence at him!

Keep him in prison until his court date. He is dangerous

He should also be banned from public transportation. A strong message needs to be sent that this thuggish behavior is intolerable.

Jail

ADD a mandatory sentence of 90-180 days...just might curb these attacks some.

Us obsession with masks continues.

Good! Just like the waitress in New York as controversial as COVID19Vic / mask wearing is, do you think these people want to address you about these issues- they’re just doing their job! Attacking them for not turning their backs or giving you a hookup - Disgusting

I predict the violent mask outbursts will get worse.

People need to learn how to behave. We had a President that let them think anything goes. Civility needs to be enforced! The rudeness and misbehavior is totally unacceptable. Marjorie Taylor Green is an example that is embarrassing.

Believe me, you DO NOT want to mess with an MBTA conductor.

Violence is the tool of fools. The only weapon you need is your words.

Good!

Louisiana state trooper charged in pummeling of Black manA former Louisiana State Police trooper has been charged with a civil rights violation for pummeling a Black motorist 18 times with a flashlight — the first criminal case to emerge from federal investigations into troopers' beatings of at least three Black men. This has he's been going on in Louisiana for decades. The cops there are basically a violent gang who hurt, rob, or even kill whoever they want. Glad to see that FINALLY one of these jackboots is facing the music. If convicted he needs to stay in gen pop. Thanks for sharing the race of all involved so I know whether or not to be outraged.

Brown's indictment comes as the federal prosecutors on the case are scrutinizing other troopers who punched, stunned and dragged another Black motorist, Ronald Greene, before he died in their custody on a rural roadside.
