President Biden didn't pardon any of the January 6th violent rioters, Trump did.
Trump pardoned them all, including Daniel Rodriguez, one of the men who attacked D.C. police officer Michael Fanone with a stun gun, and who received a sentence of 12 and a half years from Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
President Biden commuted the sentence of Leonard Peltier, who was wrongly convicted of killing 2 FBI agents and who spent nearly 50 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Now "Mr. Peltier is almost 80 years old and has several compounding health conditions, including kidney disease, diabetes, near-total blindness, and an untreated aortic aneurysm. He requires a wheelchair." (Wikipedia)
(Rodriguez and the others who attacked and beat up Capital police on January 6th are all fairly young and in good health, unlike Peltier)
Peltier's sentence was commuted to indefinite house arrest by Biden.
His case doesn't compare to the violent cop-killing January 6th convicted rioters' cases.
The FOP's statement denouncing both Trump and Biden is bullshit!
Fuck the FOP!
