Law Trump just pardoned 1.5k rioters and Proud Boys.....

[KOByFootStomp]

It's funny how the party that says all cops are bastards, wanted them defunded, and bailed out/dropped charges against rioters during the summer of love are now clutching their pearls over mostly non-violent people receiving a pardon. Those that did assault officers served far more time than any of the summer of love rioters. The selective outrage is hilariously pathetic.

Who specifically was sentenced unfairly and is still serving their time when they shouldn’t be?

Theres been about what, 1200+ convictions?And about 1/3 were for anything violent. So, I'm fine with pardons for any of the 2/3rds that are convicted on stuff like trespassing, disrupting congress, etc.

None of those people were charged or sentenced unfairly to my knowledge. For what reason should they be pardoned? Whose sentences were excessive?

You're a black man in America yeah? You should well know of the justice systems tactics of over charging crimes to get defendants to cop to lesser charges. Many times regardless of guilt and evidence. Its a tactic well used on poors, minorities, etc.

It's amazing how many people are concerned about sentencing since Jan. 6th.

It's been awhile since I looked through them. But getting multiple years for trespassing is overdoing it. Even some of the violent convictions got blown up a bit, with people getting 10+ year, some without any priors.

Look, if you don't think any of these convictions were politically motivated, ok. We don't agree, but I think I get what your position is. My thinking is there's a mixed bag here, and I dont think blanket pardons or convictions is the best way to do it.

You may OK with someone throwing explosive devices at Police Officers, I am not.

I am not either, for the record. A man’s gotta draw the line somewhere, ya know? That feels way too far. Folks Shouldn’t throw anything at cops, frankly.

Multiple Police unions rescinded their endorsements of Trump? Which ones?

You may OK with someone throwing explosive devices at Police Officers, I am not. The fact other shit heads were pardoned does not make pardoning a guy who tries to beat up police any better.
There is a reason Police Unions are not happy with Trump and some have rescinded their endorsement because Trump pardoned guys who committed violence against the police.
The only reason I think you are doing the whataboutism is because you hate police officers.

President Trump's near-total pardon of Jan. 6 rioters was denounced by the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S., and the International Association of Chiefs of Police on Tuesday
