Washington — A California man who prosecutors described as "one of the most violent defendants on January 6, 2021" was sentenced to 151 months — about 12 ½ years — in prison Wednesday after pleading guilty to violent and obstructive conduct during the Capitol riot.
Daniel "DJ" Rodriguez admitted as part of a plea agreement in February that he attacked former Washington, D.C. police officer Michael Fanone with a taser, causing him to lose consciousness, and that he worked to stop Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. Rodriguez will also have to pay $96,000 to cover medical treatment for Fanone and $2,000 in restitution for the destruction of the Capitol on Jan. 6.
Requesting a longer sentence of 14 years in prison, prosecutors said Rodriguez administered a group chat in which he and a co-defendant discussed battles and operations in Washington, D.C., before then-President Donald Trump announced his Jan. 6 rally and later planned their trip to the nation's capital after Trump sent a tweet saying the day would "be wild."
"You showed up in D.C. spoiling for a fight," Judge Amy Berman Jackson said to Rodriguez as she sentenced Rodriguez on Wednesday.
And she told his legal team that Rodriguez "was a one-man army of hate."
Jackson also said that "people need to understand that you cannot do this or anything like this again."

this is the reason for the rally...
https://rumble.com/v181401-january-6th-rally-2021.html
our government is trying to make the crime to fit the punishment...
So the most violent man in a supposed overthrow of the US govt tased a police officer?
How many here think this guy was MAGA?
they’re absolutely dull.....
If he was AntiFa he wouldn’t have been charged.
He admitted to tasing a LEO. Never a good idea
i saw many leo trying to stop peaceful protesters with tear gas... a time line would show perhaps justification
Whose taser was it?
What website was he communicating on?
While a dozen violent offenders walk around in NY or LA after assaulting actual victims and hunting for more today.
Killer released from prison, dubbed too old to be dangerous, kills again. NY Post.

A 9-year-old disabled boy who was thrown from his wheelchair by a school bully is set to get the royal treatment from New York City cops — who will escort him on the ultimate tour of the Big Apple, officers said Wednesday.
Little Michael Martinez of Houston, Texas, was dressed like one of his heroes — a police officer — on career day at his school when a bully shook him and tossed him from the chair last year, according to FOX 26.
Officers from Blue Lives Matter NYC now plan to take Michael — who hopes to one day become a cop himself — around the city Thursday and Friday, with stops ranging from meeting Mayor Eric Adams and Cardinal Timothy Dolan to grabbing a slice of pizza and attending roll call at an NYPD station house on Staten Island.

He admitted it because he was facing a lot more time most likely. This was a plea deal.
It’s fed prison. Assuming he keeps his nose clean he’ll but out in a little over half his sentence.
This is the kind of person who should be prosecuted, not Buffalo guy who just wandered around peacefully and had to spend 3 years for it
Oh boy, this is interesting. The cop, Fanone, has been described as a neck tatted drama queen...
who knows none other than Ukrainian drama queen Alexander Vindman- they were photographed together.
A MAGA would not have been there armed with pepper spray. If they were, they would not have deployed it against cops. There were plenty of anifags that got rolled up in this.
Antifags are expendable.
From Newsweak:
“Michael Fanone, the District of Columbia police officer who was dragged into a mob and beaten by rioters during the U.S. Capitol attack last January, has resigned from the force and will take a job with CNN.
—snip— Fanone made many public appearances following the attack, repeatedly speaking out against lawmakers who downplayed the seriousness of the day’s events and warning that the riot posed a legitimate threat to democracy....”
Good riddance to rubbish.
“Johnson also said he met with Officers Michael Fanone, who unsuccessfully attempted to arrange a meeting with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), and Harry Dunn, who previously detailed the racism that he and other Black officers faced while defending the Capitol.”.../snip
These are actors...the truth is not in them.
If it was infact a taser, not just a run of the mill sun gun, it did not cause him to lose consciousness. Seeing that it was Fanone, he probably passed out due to fear after he soiled his pants. A taser does not knock you out like they show in movies, once the taser stops you are right back in the fight. And stun guns do not knock you out either.
The cop-turned-CNN-employee, Michael Fanone, is reportedly the son of a big Democrat donor.
So far none of the earlier reports on him mentioned him being faded...they claimed he had a heart attack, or was dragged into the crowd and beaten.
“I also support the fact that Kari Lake is a piece of sh**,” said Michael Fanone, former D.C. Metropolitan Police officer injured in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the Capitol building.
