A Maryland police officer was convicted on Friday of charges that he joined a mob’s Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and hurled a smoke bomb and other objects at police officers guarding a tunnel entrance.
U.S. District Judge Trevor McFadden heard two days of trial testimony without a jury this week before he found Montgomery County Police Officer Justin Lee guilty of two felonies and three misdemeanors. The judge, who also acquitted Lee of two other misdemeanors, is scheduled to sentence him on Nov. 22.
Lee, 26, ignited and threw a smoke bomb into the tunnel entrance on the Capitol’s Lower West Terrace, where a mob of rioters attacked a group of outnumbered police officers. The device struck a police officer’s riot shield and filled the mouth of the tunnel with a large plume of smoke, prosecutors said.
I hear they still haven’t caught the guy who started the whole thing.
The commander in chief, you say?
No, that would be impossible. He took a picture with a bible
Porcine on porcine crime has to stop. Who do you even plant the drugs on? It’s madness.
Jokes on you, they both already do cocaine.
Judge McFadden is on the case so I expect time served and 6 months probation.
6 months probation??? What kind of world do we live in where such drastic punishments are forced upon such good people! Cruel and unusual!
Surely this poor man has suffered enough for trying to overthrow the government to install a fascist dictator!
Cop on cop violence? How sad.
Clearly he was attacking the deep state.
who smoke bombs the smoke bombers?
