A leader of the Proud Boys who was charged on Wednesday for his role in the Capitol riot boasts an arrest record that includes an assault on an officer of the peace, and on Jan. 6 led a mob of his fellow members as the right-wing man-centric gang turned on the police. He also has a history of encouraging sexual violence, and dined with Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., at former President Trump's Washington hotel.
A since-deleted Instagram post from Nov. 7, 2019, shows self-described Proud Boy organizer Joe Biggs seated beside a beaming Graham at a banquette dinner in the BLT Prime restaurant at the Trump International Hotel in Washington. At the time, Biggs was well known in far-right circles after a seven-year stint as an on-air personality for Alex Jones' Infowars network. Biggs, who describes his position as "investigative reporter," used the platform to peddle ludicrous but well-trodden conspiracy theories, such as the elaborate set of falsehoods known as Pizzagate and the hypothesis that Hillary Clinton and the Democrats were responsible for the murder of Seth Rich.

People like that always support the police when they enforce the rules on people they don't like but think they should get some special exemption because they "support them."

SSG Michael Hartsfield Exactly! They're all about "Law and Order" as Long as they're the Law and Enforcing Orders on You! #12 from the 14 Defining Characteristics of Fascism: Obsession with Crime and Punishment
Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forego civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.

Darling Law Enforcement Officers: Your Lives Really Do Matter.
Each and every time that I hear a siren blare; I pray a most fervent prayer; for you Police Officers.
I often phone the Police: to let them know- how very much I: Laud them; Appreciate them; Praise them; Respect them; Honor them; and Love them.
