Round them all up!!!

Idiot!

LOCK THEM UP. DON'T FORGET ALL THE REPUBLICAN SUPPORTERS INSIDE THE CAPITAL.

RichmanMartin Police are so amazingly toxic.

Trump opened the door, and exposed the ugly truth about America. (The racism) And the GOP is behind that ugliness. Always have been. They have become full swing in those activities. They can say they’re not all they want. But the KKK never sides with nothing but other KKK members

SUSPENDED?!

doerfler_helen Lock him up

Arrest and prosecute all insurrectionists.

Part of Trump's Redneck Army 🙂

You hate to see it.

He should be in prison for treason but because of his skin color that's too much like right

Why only suspended?

Who’s next tedcruz HawleyMO mtgreenee laurenboebert DonaldJTrumpJr EricTrump SenRonJohnson 💩

Arrested and Suspended. So, basically, he was sent on vacation until further notice of his return back to work is permitted.

Yet ANOTHER story that's 3 days old!

Republicans distancing themselves from the terrorist.acting they don't know what they was up to throwing them under the bus😆

Good.

Blue lives matter except for the Capitol police officers that got kill by other blue lives matter members ....😂

Suspended 🤬

Hahaha suspended. He’ll be profiling again real soon, his union will work hard to ensure it happens

ae4ca Suspended ? How come not fired ?

fwdcrocblu Please ask if these 'suspended officers' are suspended with pay ?

Good embarrassing to have any enforcement involved in anything like this event.

Trump’s foot soldiers will receive 20+ years in prison, lose their jobs, & places in their communities. Meanwhile the leaders, seditious propagandists, & coup financiers will be partying at a tropical resort (CPAC).

Brand him for life.

Yawn. Another paid vacation for a bad cop. Let me predict: 2 week suspension followed a few months later by an arbitration hearing that reinstates lost pay.

The call is coming from inside the house.

Why do these, supposedly, macho men use 'lol' in their tweets like a pre-teen girl? I'm beginning to think a MAGAt's 'lol' stands for Lunacy Over Logic.

Good. Everyone involved should be in prison. Including Trump.

If convicted of Conspiracy to Overthrow a Government, 10 years Federal time.. LockUpInsurgents

Suspended? He should be fired.

Good.

Hat MSNBC why don't. You ever cover Free Britney, its both political, and and civil rights. To crazy to be on her own. More than sin enough to. To make her Owners rich. Like your not smart enough to be educated, but you sure can work our vineyards.

Good! With or without pay?

And what about Trump ?

I’m not campaigning for “VIOLENCE”. But, I was just explaining the constitutional laws to some novices and ignorants out there.

Disgrace to the badge.

He should be sacked,not suspended.If he were to be a black, he would have been sacked.If u go against your constitution,u’re a secessionist! I’m not propagating violence,but,u’re a “coup plotter”and deserves even a death penalty. In some countries,they would have been shot by now

INSURRECTION! It wasn’t a riot. It was a planned assault against the Congress of the United States of America. Insurrection.

Everyone is having the right but let hope is all well and good.

18 USC 2383. All of these thugs should spend years behind bars for what they did. As should the 8 GOP Senators and 100+ GOP House members who also committed and supported insurrection. They are TRAITORS.

Just suspended? Are you kidding me? Privilege again !

Suspended?!

Let the culling continue.

A book can teach you, a conversation can assure you, a poem can seduce you, a genius can inspire you but only you can save yourself. — Anthony Anaxagorou

Retweet if you believe the 17 Republican AGs, including Ashley Moody (the daughter of a federal judge), who backed Trump in the far-fetched election lawsuit should be held accountable. ResignMoody

You did not do the right thing. You broke the law. Enjoy jail and the downgrade in lifestyle when you get out.

Jail time

WalshFreedom Good.

WalshFreedom Not riots! Insurrection- please use the proper nouns

WalshFreedom “Suspended” from his job. What would cause him to be fired? Killing a politician?

Tom_Winter

SHOULD NOT GET AWAY WITH IT!!🤔🤬🏛🤷‍♀️

And another . . .

The former fat fascist green lighted their audacity & coerced them into action!

Another piece of garbage in the trash of sedition 1/6

And hopefully soon, if the allegations are true, there will be an updated headline saying they have been fired & arrested

Yeah this is so bad..... oh wait sorry this was the Kavanaugh hearing.

RedDogHockey

Good! Lock em all up!

The military and law enforcement personnel across the Country and overseas overwhelmingly support President Trump. Why those who protect you support President Trump? Because Trump is simply the best.
