>> Lots of people WILL BE convicted of attacking police. Well, it isn't going to be "lots of people". Of the 500 or so people who have charges pending, fewer than 10 have any charge related to the police, and most of those are something akin to "obstructing a police officer" -- hardly a penitentiary offense. A few did have "assaulting a police officer" charges, but these are tenuous -- e.g., throwing an empty fire extinguisher into a crowd which playfully bounded off a police officer and up to the next next level of steps, doing no harm to anyone. I guess if they wanted to throw the book at him they could. Almost all of the 500 people charged were on silly things like curfew violations, which I had a few of as a child and in my experience nothing ever happened as a result. Of course, I wasn't at the Capitol lol. Also, it has been pointed out there are NO CHARGES associated with any "siege" or "insurrection" because, as many of us have explained, THERE WAS NEITHER A SIEGE NOR AN INSURRECTION. You are really letting this nonsense go to your head.
