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.
