An off-duty Virginia police officer who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan, 6, 2021, with a fellow officer was sentenced Thursday to more than seven years in prison, matching the longest prison sentence so far among hundreds of Capitol riot cases.
Former Rocky Mount Police Sgt. Thomas Robertson declined to address the court before U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper sentenced him to seven years and three months in prison. Cooper also sentenced Robertson to three years of supervised release after his prison term.

There was NO attempt at a coup …be careful not to b confused with democrat narrative …additionally No felony was ever committed unless by the capital cops …furthermore any death is needless agree …lastly she’s still an American

It'd be on those individual business owners and cities to seek charges. If they destroyed state property the state could the seek charges. However most federal builds damage such as that court house in Portland aren't federal property according to GSA records the court merely leases the building. It's on the property real estate group to seek justice. Same can be said about the federal agency I work for. Our building is rented on XYZ years. The capitol building is direct federal property overseen by the government not the district of Colombia. Fed has full control of whatever charges they see fit unfortunately.

PFC (Join to see) - That's hard to do, when the police wouldn't even file a report.
