Insurrectionist arrested for assaulting cop was Trump appointee.

But, hey: he's your guy, right? Unwavering support, and all that. In 2016, American law enforcement committed itself to supporting a presidential candidate who stoked hatred, anger, bigotry, racism, and xenophobia. Cop unions and their Sheriffs and Chiefs all gave their "unwavering support" to him for his entire presidency, as well as his 2020 candidacy. …
