Just looking at them in a way they do not personally like, or saying something they do not like is now considered “assaulting a police officer”.

Bunch of authoritarian cry babies is part of the problem.

“...If I had been an officer and someone was pushing against me...”


Pushing involves actual contact. How about and angry look or word? Does that constitute ‘assault’? According to the story, one guy is being charged for being on the steps outside ‘well within the restricted area’. Was this restricted area well marked?

Of course when union activists took over the Wisconsin(?) capitol, that wasn’t ‘insurrection’ at all, rather Americans exercising their First Amendment rights.

I wonder how long it will take for the bull feces spewed out by those commie crooks to cover all of Washington. It gets deeper by the day.

Pathetic conservatives don’t know how to riot properly. They didn’t bring frozen water bottles, they didn’t dress all in black with hoods and masks, they didn’t bring any flammable liquids, they didn’t have pallets of bricks on the corners. They didn’t bring baseball bats or bike locks. They didn’t even bring guns. If you are going to try to overthrow the government, don’t you think you should be prepared to overthrow the government? And next time, don’t stay in between the velvet rope lines.

So what? There were 100,000 assaults on officers throughout 2019 and 2020.

So then one percent of those occurred on one day against a relatively small police force.

One of their goals is to create discouragement for any conservative march or protest. Just another step in subduing the population.

Given the current spew rate x expected spew rate = < 1 year.

Time for Mother Nature to steer a Cat 5 or two through there.

One for initial deep cleaning and the second to mop up leftovers.

How many of the “assaults” were committed by people associated with the FBI as undercover agents or informants?

What is your definition of “assault” to begin with?

And I’m sure others have questions to add to the list.

How many assaults were committed against police officers during the George Floyd riots? Would it be hyperbole to say a million?

And, what percentage of George Floyd rioters were arrested for doing so?

Funny, how Democrats, the left and the media suddenly are concerned about police officers after executing a jihad against them for the last year and half.

I’m not so sure. They have a strong union. So I doubt there were many Republicans/conservatives there in the first place.

The first amendment states “PEACEFULLY assemble”.

There is no right to ‘protest’ the way lots of people use it on all sides of the political divide.

Personally? Obstruct my ingress or egress, damage property, raise your voice above clear conversation, make threats, or block traffic and you need a round to the cerebellum, even if I utterly agree with what you are protesting for. Make some damned examples of every jackwagon who blocks a driveway or doorway that would horrify the Taliban if you ask me.

I would have called out the 82nd airborne on the jerks in Portland, but neither would you have wanted to be in the streets 1/6.

Disorder of any kind should be met with the maximum of force.
