Meanwhile, cops are assaulted in cities throughout the country and the DAs refuse to press charges.

10 years? Who says he can’t get a fair trial in DC.

He should have shot and killed a photographer on a movie set, no jail time for that.

Judge Amit Mehta issued the sentence four months after a jury in Washington, DC, readily rejected Webster’s claims that he acted in self-defense on January 6.

10 years? That’s insane, but it was a rat judge and rat jury so it’s what we can expect. They would have executed him if the statute allowed for a death sentence.

...during the insurrection.

Why is it an "insurrection" when it's conservatives voicing their issues, but it's a "peaceful protest" when BLM and Antifa torch a city?

These DC-based judges are out-of-control in making examples out of these trespassers, way beyond what the law traditionally calls for. In fact, these overly long sentences are gross violations of the 8th and 14th Amendments of the U.S. Constitution:

Amendment VIII

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Amendment XIV

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

So, there is a federal law against assaulting a bike rack?

Unless the cop in question was on a respirator for a week 10 years is *far* too much! But then DC juries (and judges) have their own definition of “justice”.

Ex NYPD and Marine sentenced to 10 years by a Federal judge born in India. This is an insult.

Life’s actions can be a bitch some times and bring on results
that are life changing whether for the good or bad. So be it.

This isn’t justice. This is political.

And we should not accept it.
