Footage recorded during the 2021 Capitol riot showed Bryan Roger Bishop aiming an irritant spray under a police officer’s protective visor as Bishop and others struggled to get past the police lines outside the building.
Bishop, of Marathon, Florida, also sprayed another officer in the eyes, and that officer had to be removed from police lines.
On April 30, Bishop pleaded guilty to a single count of assaulting, resisting or impeding certain officers. Judge Timothy J. Kelly of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., has now sentenced the 52-year-old to 45 months in prison and 36 months of supervised release and ordered him to pay $2,000 in restitution.
Interesting way the article writer chose to write “more than 1500”…
You’re right, what is up with that shit? I can’t tell if they’re being snarky towards the nazis or the people who wanted them to see jail time. Newsweek sucks pretty bad, so I’m guessing it’s the former. I could be wrong though and there’s a rogue journalist.

Hmm. I remember seeing a lot of people protesting legally who got aggressively sprayed by cops acting beyond their legal authority. Not to whatabout but do we know that any of them faced criminal charges?
What happened on January 6 was an act of sedition, I understand. I don’t think it’s practical to whatabout scenarios that do not compare at all.
It didn’t happen in isolation. It was a year of great civil unrest and massive actions both by and against the police. The way the police treated Jan 6 protestors and seditionists was wildly different than how they treated legal protestors the police perceived as being leftist. I’d still like to know: were any of those cops served criminal charges for much worse offenses?
