Protester throwing a sandwich is inexcusable

Re: “Man who threw sandwich at agent found not guilty,” Nov. 7 news story

Although I can understand and appreciate the frustration the sandwich thrower felt, there is no justification for throwing any object at the police.

As a police officer, I have been spat upon, had feces thrown at me, and worse, bottles and rocks. I cannot excuse the sandwich hurler. The jury certainly reacted to the fact that no injury or harm was sustained.

Recall how outraged we were when the Jan. 6 protesters threw objects at the U.S. Capitol Police. It was wrong in both instances.

Surprising no one, Phillip the fascist apologist is a cop himself. And quite an unpopular one from his own admission.

Thanks for your opinion, Philip.

Despite their claims of opposing subjective “DEI” values, it is very clear that the intent of this administration is not to improve the Academy’s educational standards, but rather to destroy any semblance of meritocracy and drag everyone down to their level of abject mediocrity instead.

Probably true about this administration and every educational institution, not just the Air Force Academy.

Kudos to the two U.S. attorneys in the Washington, D.C. office who wrote the truth in a sentencing memorandum. The attorneys referred to a “mob of rioters” on Jan. 6, 2021, in the document. For writing the truth, the two prosecutors were put on leave and locked out of their government devices. The document was stripped of all references to January 6 and President Trump’s involvement.

Kudos indeed.

I always knew the Confederates were gigantic snowflakes and things like this demonstrate it in very black and white terms.

Calling those terrorists a "mob of rioters" is being overly generous. What the media mostly converged on, when not calling them "rioters", lol, was to call them insurrectionists, and that was probably also bending over backwards.

The proper term for their methods and their aims is TERRORIST.
