A Maryland police officer was convicted on Friday of charges that he joined a mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and hurled a smoke bomb and other objects at police officers guarding a tunnel entrance.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden heard two days of trial testimony without a jury this week before he found Montgomery County Police Officer Justin Lee guilty of two felonies and three misdemeanors. The judge, who also acquitted Lee of two other misdemeanors, is scheduled to sentence him on Nov. 22.
Lee, 26, ignited and threw a smoke bomb into the tunnel entrance on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace, where a mob of rioters attacked a group of outnumbered police officers. The device struck a police officer’s riot shield and filled the mouth of the tunnel with a large plume of smoke, prosecutors said.
how did you skip the olympics when you’re so good at making enormous leaps of logic
first of all who said we shouldn’t have accountability. oh wait cops do. about themselves. but i certainly didn’t so why is that even a question?
also law enforcement by extension of a democracy? lol what
Shit man, you jump with a claim and never return back to ground once — you sure you don’t want to be an Astronaut?
You did when you said the main purpose of cops is “to oppress” lol. TIL enforcing laws established by Democratic institutions = oppression lol.
This reminds me of a teenager telling their mom they’re feeling oppressed because they didn’t do their chores and are now grounded lol. “Gosh, mom! You’re oppressing my freedom!!”
I’ll just keep repeating until you answer: In what magical society do you seek to live in where your participation does not necessitate some sort of accountability for laws established in said Democracy…? What is this Utopian society?
What behavior did Eugene Goodman demonstrate that is bastard-like?
Bonus: How can such a hand of the law exist without being a bastard in such a magical unicorn world?
