"LOCK THEM UP!" <-- this. This right there. This really pisses me off. Read the comments on this OP and you will see the people YELLING this phrase could care less about a year plus of riots, death, damages and insurrection. They claim is is one of those debate faux pas. Sorry - this is NOT a debate.
The FACTS are when a left leaning politician makes a claim it is FACT AND TRUTH AND DON'T YOU DARE DENY IT. But when a right leaning politician makes a claim it is met with belly laughs, derision, condescension, rudeness, guffaws, and the cries of conspiracy theories, it's Faux News, Q-Anon, hey - how about that shooting, deflection, dismissal and outright ugly name calling.
There is not a person who is shouting "LOCK THEM UP!" that can even see there were RIOTS, murders, destruction of private and government properties, and yes, insurrection, across several cities in this nation for over a year.

Damn - from broad generalizations right into personal attack.
Did you miss the plethora of accusations from the left over the last 50+ years? Hell, let's just look at the last 5 years. Several investigations, 2 impeachments, more investigations, several commissions and nada was proved.
What you are trying to point out is equally shared by both sides of the aisle. But I doubt you will ever see, or acknowledge, that.

How many of these folks have been charged with sedition? Or treason? Or insurrection? Anything even close to those?
How about any charges of arson? Looting?
Or are they just sticking with illegal picketing? Trespassing?

CPL David Bixler - Well, ignorance of the law is no excuse. But from what I've seen, the absolute vast majority of those arrested really did nothing more than trespassing. Certainly not a crime in which they should still be held in jail for. It should be a summons, no more. The fact that some of these folks are still being held in jail, in solitary confinement, should outrage everyone and is nothing more than political persecution.

MSgt Steve Sweeney - While there does not appear to be a clear definition of what “restrictive housing” means, a DC Department of Corrections (DOC) policy document from August 2019 refers to it by the euphemism “single occupancy housing.” It lists sexual predators, juveniles, anyone likely to be targets for violence, engage in assaultive behavior as the ones restrictive housing.
Read the story of Ryan Samsel.
The ACLU is even complaining, as is Elizabeth Warren and many other Democrats.
In contrast, "forty-seven of the 96 Portland rioters hit with federal charges relating to attacks on federal buildings have had their charges dropped, including charges of assaulting an officer."
36 arrested in St Louis for rioting and looting. - All dismissed.
Bronx, NY - "Seventy-three of the 118 people arrested in the borough had their cases shelved altogether, another 19 were convicted on lesser counts like trespassing, which carries no jail time."
"Portland DA dismissed 90% of riot-related charges it received in September, 70% of charges since start of civil unrest."
"Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney says the city will drop all code violation notices handed out to demonstrators..."
"Top Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx's office has dismissed more than 25,000 felony cases..." (and that's just thru 2019) - "... her office will begin next week dropping charges against as many as 817 defendants arrested after the killing of George Floyd."
