    “Reduced penalties” shouldn’t be two years. Especially after shooting at cops. A plea bargain should result in a lesser sentence, not a ridiculously lesser sentence. May I remind you that these people tried to overthrow the U.S. government?

      Alternatively, you could educate yourself on how Federal Sentencing guidelines work & quit shooting the messenger?

        How many other people die by cops for having something that looks like a firearm in their hands?

        If the justice system in the states was consistent he would be dead.
