Four years for one of the J6 Antifa tourists who beat a police officer with a pole. I am glad the Federal government is cracking down on these antifa BLM false flag guys. We know no MAGA patriots would do such a thing.

An Arkansas man was sentenced Monday for charges related to beating a downed police officer with a flagpole during the Capitol riot.
Driving the news: Peter Francis Stager, 44, of Conway, Arkansas, was sentenced to more than four years in prison after pleading guilty earlier this year to assaulting, resisting, or impeding certain officers using a deadly or dangerous weapon, per the Department of Justice.
- Stager was also ordered to serve 36 months of supervised release and restitution of $2,000.

Details: On Jan. 6, 2021, Stager watched as fellow rioters attacked and dragged police, according to the DOJ.
- Once others had dragged an officer into the crowd, Stager raised a flagpole with an American flag affixed and beat the downed officer, striking him at least three times, per the DOJ.
- Stager also stood over another officer who was on the ground and yelled, "F**k you! F**king traitor!" per court documents.
- Later in the day, Stager was filmed pointing at the Capitol building and stating, "Everybody in there is a disgrace. That entire building is filled with treasonous traitors. Death is the only remedy for what’s in that building," according to the DOJ.
- He continued: "Every single one of those Capitol law enforcement officers, death is the remedy, that is the only remedy they get."
