Trump’s Jan. 6 Pardon Promise Would Put Police-Assaulters Back On The Streets

Huff Post  

Protesters gather on the second day of pro-Trump events fueled by then-President Donald Trump's continued claims of election fraud in an effort to overturn the results before Congress finalizes them in a joint session of the 117th Congress on Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington, D.C. Kent Nishimura/Los Angeles Times via Getty Images WASHINGTON ― Andrew Taake pepper-sprayed police officers defending the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and hit one with a metal whip. That’s who’s left to pardon.. Those who went to jail were the most violent that day,” said Harry Dunn, a former Capitol police officer who was among the hundreds assaulted on Jan. 6. Trump, for example, said that Jan. 6 insurrectionists had been incarcerated “three or four years” in a “filthy, disgusting place that shouldn’t even be allowed to be open.” In fact, it has not yet been four years since the Capitol assault, and the majority of the defendants were not arrested until many months later. Carlson helped turn the Jan. 6 defendants — hundreds of whom violently assaulted police officers — into folk heroes among Trump’s political base. “Don’t celebrate too hard, man, because that sentence is only going to last like six months,” Dempsey told vigil attendees via speakerphone, referring to Trump opponents he assumed were applauding his two-decade sentence.
