The week in whoppers: Biden’s fake facts, Fauci’s revisionism and more Joe Biden’s a Putin-like polarizer: Devine Putin given free pass to knock US as Biden lets Russian strongman brief reporters alone Widower of woman killed in Capitol riot suing for name of cop who shot her A former NYPD cop charged in the US Capitol riot brutally attacked a police officer with a metal flagpole hoisting a Marine Corps banner, new video shows.
The intense footage, first obtained Thursday by CNN, shows Thomas Webster, a 20-year NYPD cop and Marine veteran, launching a hate-filled tirade toward a Metropolitan Police officer on Jan. 6 — when supporters of former President Trump stormed the Capitol in hopes of overturning the 2020 presidential election.

The waters are so muddied at this point, I don’t think we’ll ever know any more than we do now.
Probably more than they’ll ever admit or even know. Figure they recruit 10 and each of them brings 10 friends.
But, I hate to be Debbie Downer here, but Webster is an idiot and will deserve what he gets.
If they have the right guy

He likely got hi$ before he went into action.
I guess you are referring to the multitude known as unindicted coconspirators ?
Who knows any more.
I posted, on January 6, here on FreeRepublic, that Trump's call to march peacefully to the Capitol was a mistake. And Freepers came down on me hard. Six months later, we are still regurgitating this mess. I don't know much, especially not compared to veteran Freepers, but I knew, in my little pea brain, that it was a mistake. Trump was set up.
He had great intentions, yes he did. But he never should have let anyone know what he was going to do.
Shoulda coulda woulda
The folks have had 6 months and 12 days to fabricate what they will.
I don’t buy it.
And the FBI and DOJ.
>I wonder how many plants where put in the crowd from BLM and antifa.<
There were undoubtedly plants in the crowd, but Webster looks like a right-wing loon. Face it, if the thousand or so who entered the capital building had all acted like him, it would be hard to say the right behaved any better than the blm/antifa crowd.
The question I have is whether he was part of a group and whether that group had been infiltrated by government people. And beyond that, if infiltrated, were the infiltrators quietly taking down information, or were they inciting behavior like Webster’s?
Whether he was on his own or not, he’s got some jail time coming, and it sure looks like he deserves it.
The things being shouted suggest there’s a whole story before the clip starts. He’s not just attacking generally. While there is a bit of arguing broadly, he’s primarily focused on one guy - and the line about ‘Attacking America’ doesn’t sound like a general loon.
Not saying his actions were good or appropriate, but this seems like something else.
