More evidence of our justice system slanting left under President Joe Biden.
A pro-Hamas protester from New York, Ruben Arthur Camacho, was sentenced to just 48 hours of community service for punching a female cop during a riot outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in November.
Police said Camacho slammed a female officer against a wall and punched her in the face. Camacho was charged with one count of assault on a police officer, which is a felony offense,” the Post Millennial reported on Sunday.

The officer was one of six police officers injured during the riot.
Camacho “also resisted arrest and blocked an exit used by federal lawmakers during the riot, according to court documents.”
Yet, no jail time and just 48 hours of community service.
The Post Millennial added, “Camacho escaped federal prosecution and was charged in DC Superior Court by DC US Attorney Matthew Graves. This is the same Biden-appointed prosecutor who has been arresting J6 protesters on charges including assault on police.”
On X, conservative journalist Julie Kelly, who wrote about Camacho’s case, noted that Graves does not plan to charge any pro-Hamas defendants involved in the ceasefire riot in federal court, and that all charges will remain local.
This means they will avoid the federal judges who have tossed the pro-Trump rioters from the Jan. 6, 2021, brawl at the U.S. Capitol into prison for lengthy, years-long sentences.
Kelly also noted that J6 defendants who have been charged with assaulting cops have been sentenced up to 10 years in prison.
One of them, she added, “did far less” to a woman officer, who got three years and was denied release while awaiting trial.
“Camacho was not denied release from jail pending trial or plea; he was not condemned as an ‘insurrectionist’ or ‘domestic terrorist’ by federal prosecutors. Because Camacho participated in a protest sanctioned and funded by Democrats, he got a slap on the wrist,” Kelly said on X.
At DLA Piper, Graves represented Qatar and foreign banks accused of financing terrorism, including Bank of Palestine, Arab Bank PLC, and Bank of Beirut.[3][4] Politico reported in 2021 that Graves also represented Gazprom Neft, “a Russian state-owned energy company with a market cap north of $30 billion.”[5]
Interesting guy. Yale Law graduate.
There is no law enforcement only policy enforcement.
Wealthy clients, all right. Now enforcing government policy as unevenly as he can.
Geez, Ashli Babbitt didn’t touch any law enforcement personnel on Capitol Hill on January 6th, wasn’t even given the benefit of a warning, or being arrested to have her day in court. Instead, she got shot to death by an overzealous police officer that she was no threat to, nor a threat to anyone else at the time. This is not fair and equal treatment under the law.
Why does it matter the cop is female?
Meanwhile a thousand people who DIDN’T punch a Capitol Police officer on Jan 6, 2021 STILL are in prison for being there, or nearby.
Just move the capitol.
Babbitt was shot so that the non-antifa and non-government people involved in the demonstration would react and actually riot. Didn’t work so the FIBs and their hirelings had to do the destruction themselves.
