Trump Demands DC Cops Get Respect, He Pardoned 100s Who Beat Them

Tuesday, August 12, 2025

Colby Hall: On January 6, 2021, D.C. cops were bludgeoned with flagpoles, sprayed with bear mace, and crushed in doorways by Trump's supporters during the attack on the U.S. Capitol. Jonathan Allen noted on X that "Jan 6 was the largest violent crime event in DC in the modern era, and the largest assault on law enforcement."

He also didn't send the Nat Guard to help the Capital Police, which he could have done on his own... but he is sending them now because he saw some homeless people on his way to cheat at golf.

Trumpers think this is Entertainment!

To his credit, Lewzer has never bothered with the obligatory gun-waving photo-ops that are almost a GOP cult requirement.

Trump made the right move by pardoning those people. He should have took it a step further and threw the entire kangaroo court in prison.

This country was born between the legs of rebellion, and that's what happens when people in power weaponize something like COVID to steer an election. And it nearly happened again as the phony charges mounted against a former President seeking reelection. And you raetards who drop the "pedo" accusations are unwilling to admit that the guy allowing all the phony charges to be hung on Trump needed to do nothing more than point to the Epstein case. Biden is either stupid or there was nothing there. Or JUST maybe, inappropriate shower daddy is in the files himself.

Especially when done for such a good cause: himself.
