Clarification on the title because I think it is important:
He wasn't some retired guy. He was an employed police officer during the insurrection. He only became an 'ex-officer' when he was arrested.

I'm all for us using "Disgraced...." in titles when people of authority are fired for this shit. This man most definitely fits the definition of Disgraced Police Officer.

"Disgraced" is an improvement, for sure. I still think there could be more accurate language. Hard to disgrace a white supremacist institution with acts of sedition.

Loving the brain storming, I can see we're getting there. I just hit the same problem, y'know? How does one disgrace that which has never known grace?

"Right wing traitor loses his government appointed symbol of oppression after being found guilty of assisting in the MAGA fueled attempt to over throw the United States government."

I'm waiting for the station that has that lead. TYT tries, but other than a couple of announcers the rest of those people bore my ass to death.

“Fired as fuck”?

Cashiered would be the term for being cast out of the military as a disgrace. Appropriate due to the stolen valor.
