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.
If they’re not different then why is it so hard for you to pinpoint a bastard behavior of a cop without just invoking a circular reasoning fallacy?
lmao wtf says who? You? Who made you the arbiter of truth?
So allow me to go way back to an earlier comment to a point you then deflected: 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? Show me. In your dreams? Okay, cool.
It’s honestly just a fucking shit argument, if I’m honest. Do yourself a favor and get a book on fallacies to improve your arguments. Discrete logic might also be beneficial.
Because look, there are valid reasons to be disgusted by police culture and I sure as shit don’t have blue lives matter stickers, but these SHIT over-generalizing tropes are doing you no favors to advance change in your cause… Unless your goal is to just complain on a message board and substantively do nothing. Logic dictates MCAB; not ACAB. After all, countless comments show you deflecting showing a sample of the population being a bastard.
If LEO by extension of a Democracy is a form of oppression, then lawless survival-of-the-fittest winner-take-all is the definition of freedom? Think that through. If you want analogies, last I checked a parent’s main purpose wasn’t OpPrEsSiOn because they set limits and enforced rules of the house… Jesus. This is so profoundly amateur and 2edgy4me.
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.
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?
Bonus: How can such a hand of the law exist without being a bastard in such a magical unicorn world?
