Defense attorney James Monroe said Webster had a right to defend himself against a “bad cop” who was using excessive force.

So if you're a retired cop now, you're allowed to fight back? Hmmm 🤔

He's retired NYCPD. Can you even imagine how many minorities he's assaulted in his career during arrests or otherwise? And they couldn't fight back?

This piece of trash goes to the Jan 6 event to march for Trump based on bullshit lies and then attacks a cop claiming self defense. When we can be 110% sure that cop did absolutely nothing to him compared to the bullshit he did to people over his career.

These losers throwing it all away and going back on what they claim to stand for.....for Trump of all people lmao

I feel his record of arrests should be scrutinized, now that we know how he REALLY feels about the law.

Not even that. He's going through the legal system, let's bring up everything in his past. You know, like we do when someone gets locked up for possessing cannabis.

It's probably worth people checking who he put away. Real shame if they got to spend some time reminiscing
