I can’t disagree with your last paragraph. It would have kept him from catching any grief for the most part. There is no doubt about that. Especially for a select few that he pardoned that should be staying in jail. But it is just a few imo.
I think we are having a major communication issue. I am not pointing to anyone and saying their sentence was unfair. I do believe there are people who did the tour only who have dealt with this for way too long. People who had to wait in jail for a period of time not meeting the crime really sucks. But they played a stupid game and won a stupid prize.
The maximum sentence for assaulting a police officer in dc is 10 years will. Read that please. 10 years. Look it up. It comes with being released early for good behavior. Paroled. Dc is one of the most liberal jurisdictions on the planet. A ton of these folks who assaulted police have been in jail or been dealing with this in their lives for four years. In dc, most of them would have already been cut loose in a normal case. That is my point. It is understandable outrage, but you are upset with something that for normal people found guilty of this would have already happened. First time offenders get 180 days. Please read the link below.
If you are accused of harming a member of law enforcement, contact a DC Assault on a Police Officer lawyer as quickly as possible.

To top it off in ole liberal dc Will, it is a freaking misdemeanor!!!!!!! Should they be treated differently than other people found guilty of the same crimes in dc. We both know that comes with your ideological agenda
