I'm glad they were swiftly arrested. Maybe there won't be any riots
As for the lady who was shot at the capitol, that tends to happen sometimes when you forcefully storm a government building
But, if what I said was true, the cop that shot her would be arrested for killing a student or black person.

It would depend on the circumstances behind the shooting.
The officer who shot Mike Brown wasn't charged because it was proven to be self-defense

Okay Captain straw man but I never claimed they were all charged with sedition or insurrection.
However the reasonable expectation of a minor traffic infraction is a citation
When you storm a government building, you assume the risk of being shot or possibly charged with crimes like sedition or insurrection
Tell that to all those involved in sit in protests in the sixties. No one expected to be shot dead.

Exactly. Darren Wilson was twice exonerated. First, a grand jury decided not to indict after seeing the evidence. Second the DOJ had a very detailed report exonerating him but a scathing review of the police department in Ferguson.

Why haven't we seen the same kind of investigations and prosecutions of the man who shot Ashli Babbitt?

The evidence exonerating Darren Wilson was known from day 1, Mike Brown robbed the convenience store, we had a video fo the shooting. Yet they still prosecuted him, investigated him, and had a detailed investigation before pronouncing him "exonerated".

Because they weren't forcefully storming public buildings
We can't trust the safety of our elected officials to the hands of an angry mob. Probably more than should have been shot

You can't shoot the guy with the horns without a permit and only when he is in season.

Nope it's about ensuring the safety of our elected officials from the hands of an angry mom who are literally trying to kill them
Some of the January 6th rioters were seeing carrying zip ties which meant they must have intended to take hostages

I also think every one of those Memphis police officers involved in the incident should be prime candidates for legal injection

the only crime with capital punishment is criminal homicide and they aren't being charged with that, they are being charged with 2nd degree murder, not even 1st degree. Do you have evidence that this was premeditated?

then talk to the cops who opened doors, took down barriers, and waved the protesters in.

they were just as guilty as rowdy protesters. ( most of the j 6 crowd was peaceful. a few were not}.

You'll need to speak up, he can't hear you.

Yeah in Tennessee second degree murder is minimum 15 and maximum 60
I think all cops who break the law should get maximum penalties by default
In a perfect world, cops and murder would get the death penalty by default
I think there are some countries where kidnapping is punished by death. Maybe America should follow suit

Actually one of the officers is charged with kidnapping meaning it was an unlawful detainment Also, who hasn't committed a petty traffic infraction. Does that warrant being beaten to death?
Even if it was not a petty traffic violation, the police officers had no authority and no business kidnapping or beating anyone to death. They have been charged with murder and rightly so. How can police officers be so stupid? (and this is not the first time either)

But then the stupid Leftists come along and claim that is this a case of "racism" and "white supremacy". How can blacks be accused of this against blacks? But this is how rabid the Left has become. They do not even have to make sense any longer. And because of these false inflammatory remarks there is rioting in the streets again (no doubt paid for and orchestrated by the likes of George Soros, who wants to see daily anarchy in the streets of America). The parents of the deceased are calling for calm, but nobody will listen.

The rejection of the rule of law by the Supreme Court, the judicial system, the law enforcement system, the politicians, and the press has now produced the attitude that since no one is being held accountable for any kind of crime, there is no reason for the police to obey the rule of law.

There is a criminal and traitor in the White House and he has not been arrested and locked up. The FBI and DOJ have become criminal syndicates and no one can do anything. There are millions of ILLEGAL migrants crossing the north and south borders and being given royal treatment and privileges which are not even afforded to legal citizens. No wonder we have five thugs in uniform literally assaulting and murdering a civilian. Then we have riots in the streets as a result of that. Which means that lawlessness and anarchy will only increase further, and this is the just tip of the iceberg.

Total disregard for the rule of law began with BLM and Antifa pulling down statues and memorials, destroying the cities of the West and getting away with it. It continued with the COVID Scamdemic and all the bogus rules and regulations which were illegally enforced. It continued again with widespread election fraud which was never addressed. Lawlessness is now a widespread phenomenon, ever since the police forces were converted into COVID Gestapo by the politicians, and pastors in Alberta, Canada were actually jailed for disregarding the tyrannical regulations for COVID (which had no basis in science or common sense).

Maybe that's why the officers were pretty much immediately arrested and charged.
Maybe the court systems are finally catching on to the fact that anything less than Swift and immediate Justice for cops who break the law is going to result in riots

I'm not going to sugar coat it. I'm just going to come out and say it. You're an idiot if you think someone deserves to be beaten to death over a minor traffic infraction
Tell me what flavor are those boots you're looking
And no it's not a lie those men were indeed convicted of seditious conspiracy
So, according to this logic, all the cops need to do is charge the kid with seditious conspiracy instead of a minor traffic infraction, and the beating to death would be justified? That seems to be the logical outcome of your two otherwise contradictory takes on "justice".

Well the part we are argument fails is the guy didn't commit sedacious conspiracy.
