Laptop stolen from Pelosi's office during storming of U.S. Capitol, says aide

There needs to be a whole lot of 10+ year sentences handed out. Obviously anyone directly involved in the officer's death will have the book thrown at them and probably never see the outside of a cell again, but all these people need to be made an example of.

Did they release the cause of death? The article I read said he collapsed after everything was done with (or for the most part). Can really pin that on anyone.

Maybe you can pin in on those who smashed his head in with a fire extinguisher?

This is the weird bit:

>returned to his division office after the incident and collapsed

Someone should have known that after a heavy blow to the head he needed to go straight to an ER.

Sorry, but who are you to say who saw what and what officers MIGHT have been negligent during all that chaos?

If it is determined that the people who SMASHED HIS HEAD IN WITH A DAMN FIRE EXTINGUISHER didn't intend to kill him, the 2nd degree murder charge might possibly be downgraded to felony murder or manslaughter.

All the articles I found never mentioned what actually happened. That's messed up.

starting a fire at a Target is not quite the same thing as raiding the US Capitol filled with congress, staffers, and confidential documents (in an effort to overturn a national election).

And of course, the irony is that part of the frustrations from this summer’s protests is the fact that people of color get 10+ year sentences for things like drug offenses at a much higher rate than white people.

The difference is one of these buildings provides an important service that the American people can’t live without. The other, of course, is filled with politicians.
