Take a good look at it, people. This is what 147 House Republicans and several Republican senators in Congress such as Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz voted to sanction, legitimize, and protect.
As reported by USA Today:
A New York man charged in a vicious assault on a D.C. police officer during the deadly Capitol riot was ordered jailed pending trial, when an angry federal judge Tuesday declared the suspect's alleged behavior as "just not acceptable."
Thomas Sibick is accused of ripping the radio and badge from the tactical vest worn by Officer Michael Fanone, who was later pulled into a mob where he was battered and shocked with a stun gun by rioters who attempted to take his service weapon.
Mr. Sibick allegedly took the beaten officer’s badge and tried to hide it by burying it in his backyard.
After allegedly lying to the FBI multiple times about his involvement in the attack, Sibick last month surrendered Fanone's mud-smeared badge, which the suspect had allegedly buried in the backyard of his Buffalo home.
"The defendant's conduct is on video tape," an incredulous U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell said, referring to Sibick's actions during the riot. "Such egregious conduct...and no remorse.
These are the ‘patriots’ people like Ron Johnson (R-WI) have been so vocal in defending.
The officer who was attacked, Michael Fanone, suffered a ‘ mild’ heart attack as a result of the assault, which was loudly cheered on by Donald Trump’s supporters, “as [Fanone] was beaten by a flagpole.”
In sending Sibick to jail to await trial, the Judge specifically noted that Sibick had pulled the officer’s radio from him before the Trump mob proceeded with the assault, denying Fanone the only ‘lifeline’ he had to call for help.
