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.
Profession is chosen, race is not.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding that can’t be passed until you recognize your mistake.
You think discrimination and stereotyping only applies to race? People choose their identity by name and gender — does that make it okay to cast prejudice against those?
You have a demonstrable case of cognitive dissonance if you don’t recognize the double-standard above.
By the way, I thought you were finished?
Your misunderstanding remains, this discussion is pointless.
You already said that. Your deflections suggest I have you in perpetual check.
No, as I said there is simply no point until you recognize your fundamental misunderstanding.
You’ve chosen to ignore that, misinterpret what I said, then make outrageous claims.
So now, I will actually say that this discussion is over. I hope you recognize your mistake in the future.
Alright then.
