WASHINGTON (AP) — A retired New York Police Department officer was sentenced on Thursday to a record-setting 10 years in prison for attacking the U.S. Capitol and using a metal flagpole to assault one of the police officers trying to hold off a mob of Donald Trump supporters.
Thomas Webster’s prison sentence is the longest so far among roughly 250 people who have been punished for their conduct during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021. The previous longest was shared by two other rioters, who were sentenced separately to seven years and three months in prison.
Webster, a 20-year NYPD veteran, was the first Capitol riot defendant to be tried on an assault charge and the first to present a self-defense argument. A jury rejected Webster’s claim that he was defending himself when he tackled Metropolitan Police Department officer Noah Rathbun and grabbed his gas mask outside the Capitol on Jan. 6.

Confirmed by the Uniparty Senate stooges in a voice vote.
Has he been charged???
“...The DC/Capitol Police, courts, judges need to be suspended, reviewed, terminated as necessary. The States of Virginia and Maryland can loan law enforcement troops to take up the slack...”
All this would be the right, honest things to do...
There’s no way in hell this going to happen as long as the leftist democrats are in control...
FASCIST TERRITORY ALERT: Washington DC is under Communist Party control. It is no different than entering communist East Berlin. If you engage in any political activity and are arrested, you face a communist-controlled law enforcement, communist controlled judicial and penal system. All US constitutional rights are not enforced nor protected.

What happened to that Cop who killed Ashley Babitt, still nothing.
A mob of Donald Trump supporters, huh?
How obvious can they be. Hopefully the real mob will be taken care of once
the scum (our country’s enemies) are put in prison.
And hopefully I’ll be watching from above when it happens.
Good,but it’s still a fraction of what this guy got and I doubt any of them were veterans
I hope Trump can pardon him when he becomes president.
Oh, please God, make it so! I would love to see blue-helmets on a local street corner. Absolutely.
That shade of blue makes an excellent target!
