A Florida man described by prosecutors as one of the most violent rioters who attacked the U.S. Capitol was sentenced on Wednesday to five years in prison, court records show.
Kenneth Bonawitz, a member of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group’s Miami chapter, assaulted at least six police officers as he stormed the Capitol with a mob of Donald Trump supporters on Jan. 6, 2021. He grabbed one of the officers in a chokehold and injured another so severely that the officer had to retire, according to federal prosecutors.
Bonawitz, 58, of Pompano Beach, Florida, carried an eight-inch knife in a sheath on his hip. Police seized the knife from him in between his barrage of attacks on officers.
The only cops I respect are the ones who were killed by other cops for trying to expose them.

(My reading comprehension failed me and my reply missed the context. I agree with the sentiment of respecting police officers who were murdered by other officers for taking actions that would bring police corruption to light.)
Being anti-cop consistently is being pro-corruption now? 🤔
Must have been brain-broken when I originally read their post. I misunderstood their comment. Removed my original post and replaced with a correction.
It’s all good fam, it happens
I think they meant Christopher Dorner
My comment (now removed) was stupid. Must have been distracted.
