I guess the Thin Blue Line stuff doesn't exist when it's Republican beating the shit out of your co-workers. He can rot

Why it obstruction and not Aiding and Abetting after the fact?

Even though it's somewhat grammatically correct, I hated reading that title

Apparently the officer actively sought out the guy and made the statement about "agreeing with your political stance". That would make him an accessory as well as being guilty of treason and insurrection. As a cop, his sentence should be doubled because he not only knew it was illegal, but he is betraying his oath and trying to prevent his fellow officers from getting justice.
But since sentencing doesn't work that way, he should be given the max sentence if found guilty.

I’m a fan of commas haha. “Ex-Capitol cop, who messaged 1/6 rioter, guilty of obstruction”

No arrests that day. No use of deadly force by Capitol police while they watched their fellow officers get dragged down and beaten by a mob. I’m sure their political affiliation and color of their skin had absolutely nothing to do with it.

What percentage of capitol cops are black in DC? It's gotta be high. Do they even understand what the fuck they're protecting?

There was basically one police officer between the US and the end of Democracy. He managed to redirect the crowd's hate for the *libruls* to their racism. Saved the day that guy.

I’m on day 3 of a migraine and initially read 1/6 as a fraction which made no sense at all

Because the messaging was after the riot and not before or during.
Edit: wording.

Poorly worded. I meant: An accessory after the fact.

"Guilty of treason and insurrection" is definitely an exaggeration for someone who suggested a criminal delete his posts about a crime. Obstruction seems like the right call.
