So the story gets a happy ending... and I'm guessing so will his cellmate.
...probably just relocating them to the department so they can change back into their cop uniforms.
Some of those who work forces...
I won't believe this story has a happy ending until they're in prison. Because I have a feeling they're about to get a huge amount of help from the incoming administration.
Prison for 1.5 months until pardoned?
What, just because of every single thing they've said or done?
That will depend on whether they face state or federal charges. I’m curious if they will be charged at all if the only thing they did was “protest”.
It will depend a lot more on whether or not the fascist dictatorship coming into office in January gives a shit about state charges being out of their legal jurisdiction.
I'm betting on not.
Yeah, people are basically sticking their heads in the dirt with what’s about to happen in the US.

People really want to believe Trump won't be a fascist dictator despite coming right out and saying he will be. I know he lies all the time, but that's a stupid reason not to believe him on this one.
I don't think Trump will bail them out. It doesn't benefit him to do so.
Sure it does. They can join his SS.
