    An Arkansas man who used the pole of an American flag to batter a fallen police officer during the US Capitol attack has received a 52-month jail term.

    Peter Francis Stager helped drag the officer down the steps of the Capitol, then “forcibly and repeatedly” struck him, say prosecutors.

    He was also captured on video saying that “death is the only remedy” for the lawmakers inside the building.

    4 years and 4 months for essentially beating an unconscious person to death during an insurrection to overthrow the US Government…

    The US penal system is an atrocious fucking joke.

      He called the politicians inside “treasonous traitors” while committing treason and being a traitor to democracy. Garbage people
