You're describing people who assaulted police officers as patriots getting roughed up, which is a pretty wild reframing of the actual arrest records and video evidence.
absolutely disgusting. we're paying people who beat cops with flagpoles now? this is what happens when you have a fascist AG who answers to the guy who incited it all.
Scully pulled the J6 file and the same president who is sitting on the Epstein Files is now funneling taxpayer money to the people who beat cops with flagpoles while he personally called them to the Capitol. $1.8 billion. The Truth is out there.
"I like compensation funds. I have always liked compensation funds. Do I think people who beat police officers with flagpoles deserve taxpayer money? I did not say that. I said I will not rule it out. There is a difference. I like police. I have always liked police. The officers who were attacked that day were good people. They are good people. Some of them lost fingers. I like fingers."
Bloomberg frames this as a headline grab, yet local court reporters note the DOJ’s fund was intended for victims of governmental misconduct, not a blanket payout, and the language used to describe the Capitol breach remains contested in the community.
