Tactical M4 guy should be brought before the court in chains for attempted sedition, captured live on camera.

What would that solve, exactly?

I agree that everyone who committed a crime should be charged and prosecuted and that this is a grave failure of so many systems but it's a failure of systems. That dude didn't get the idea that letting MAGAts walk into a firing squad would be cool on his own, every cop in there was with him. And they were with him because they were told to treat this catastrophe differently than they normally treat protests.

I also think it's important to note that these guys managed to let a white woman die. They let black people die all the time. If we're gonna start singling out dipshits for treating wypepo badly this is gonna get worse.

It would be a good first inquiry and prosecution into the criminal negligence and sedition that was executed yesterday by large elements of the Capitol Police.

Explain why kid gloves are needed when we can ask each and every officer to testify to their actions individually?

It's been documented numerous times on the world stage that "I was just following orders." Is not an acceptable excuse.

Dayum dude why will you pick fights even with your friends? "Brought before the court in chains" doesn't imply "a good first inquiry" it implies making an example of the individual dumb enough to end up in the Washington Post. Do you see that?

I think there are lots of chains.
