I’m assuming he won’t be a Capitol police officer much longer?

So how many people are left in this country who understand the distinction between their BELIEFS, and their DUTY and what they have sworn they would uphold?

I suppose I should be surprised at the number of cops who are pro-insurrection, but I’m not. Enforcing the actual law and protecting the constitution is apparently only for libs and everyone knows a cop would crawl through broken glass to club a non-violent liberal protester…

In the Republican party, there are none. If you are still a member of that Party at this point, you are, in my view, presumed a seditionist.

Felony obstruction of justice to spare an insurrectionist a misdemeanor. And doing it in writing. Good thinking there, MAGAcop!

Once they say they agree with the terrorists political stance you can rest assure whatever else follows will display ignorance, arrogance & stupidity.

He’s so smart about video & selfies, yet disregards his electronic communication is traceable & so is his self identification.

That’s a good question…and it focuses on the need for quality education that includes the humanities, history, civics and the like.

“Hey [Person 1], im a capitol police officer who agrees with your political stance,” Riley allegedly wrote. “Take down the part about being in the building they are currently investigating and everyone who was in the building is going to be charged. Just looking out!”

Lock him up and throw away the key.

And probe every orifice of his phones, computers, social-media posts, and treasonous tuchus.

Expose ALL these traitors inside the Capitol – both elected and otherwise.

Time to clean house of seditious scum!

(ETA: Police departments all across America are riddled with these bedbugs.)

We knew all along it was an inside job…not surprising the terrorists were enabled by Capitol, especially given the suicide.

Is it wrong of me to love the part where he gets angry that the lying nimrod he’s helping wasn’t somehow pushed into the building, and was hanging out just smoking weed? Because I love that part.

I think that about-face was meant for the judge.
