4+ years seems fair to me? You gotta keep in mind “attending a riot that couldve overthrown democracy” is not a specific crime. Like, it just isn’t. We’ve never had to charge people in this situation before.
Thus, he wasn’t charged with Jan 6 as a concept. He beat the shit out of a cop. I’d want a BLM rioter who beat the shit out of a cop to not do life, so why should this guy? I’ve hit cops - should I be imprisoned for life?
Frankly, I disagree that hitting a cop is especially more of a problem than hitting any other person. Laws like that are we we have cops doing the shit they do.
Also, no one should be in prison for any nonviolent drug offense full stop. Totally agreed there.
52 FUCKING MONTHS. They give longer sentences to people who smoke pot.
This is a fucking miscarriage of justice. I don’t like cops and totally believe in ACAB.
But 52 months for beating a police officer while in the act of overthrowing our democracy seems light to me.
What’s fucking wrong with these judges? Are they complicate in this?

I would be very interested to find out any instances of a black person beating on a cop and the length of their sentence.
I bet ya I’d be pissed about that sentence.
