WASHINGTON A Metropolitan Police Department lieutenant who supervised the intelligence branch of the Washington, D.C., police was indicted this week, charged with tipping off former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio about a pending warrant for his arrest just ahead of the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Tarrio, the former chair of the Proud Boys, was recently found guilty of seditious conspiracy in connection with the Capitol attack, along with other members of the far-right group. Tarrio was not in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 after his arrest in connection with the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner, as he was banned from the city by a judge the day before the attack.

Shane Lamond, 47, was indicted on one count of obstruction of justice and three counts of making false statements, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia said Friday. A federal grand jury charged that Lamond obstructed the investigation into the burning of a Black Lives Matter banner on Dec. 12, 2020, when the Proud Boys were roaming the streets of Washington, D.C., for a pro-Trump event.

Couldn't find away to fit "DC police lieutenant" in the topic title and have it all make sense.

Something Something Something Forces.

Why did Tarrio have an arrest warrant before Jan 6?

He burned a black lives matter flag that they tore down from a historic Black church in downtown Washington.

Because he's always been a piece of garbage. J6 wasn't the first time the proud boys got up to their shit.

I wasn't disputing that, I just wanted to know what the warrant was about.

Apparently the Proud Boys wanted to call this guy as their key witness in their seditious conspiracy trial

sheesh

Probably a self-proclaimed "Oathkeeper". They're all throughout the police and military.

Dumb fucking song

To claim what? That they were tricked? o.0

Also a bit curious as to Lamond's defense - did he say anything in response to the indictment?

I know nothing about the Proud Boys so I am surprised to hear that their leader was someone named Enrique Tarrio

More trash for the dumpster.

The old leader was Gavin McInnes but he took too many butt plugs up his ass to own the libs.

The January 6th defendants in general have had laughably bad attempts at defenses in their trials. Many of them, including ones who were beating the shit out of police, have tried to say one or more of the following:

• I was just caught up in the moment
• I got caught up in the mob mentality
• The police attacked me first and I was defending myself (even with plenty of video evidence proving otherwise)
• I was actually trying to help/protect the police (even with plenty of video evidence of them attacking the police)

I'm not sure what Lamond has said in regard to this yet.

Thanks for always keeping up with these details Cable :)

I'm not sure if it's schadenfreude, but I chuckled reading those excuses...

It was Donald Trumps words. It was his motivation. It was his anger that caused what occurred on January 6th in your amazing and beautiful city."

That one's my favorite because it's true. Not that it absolves them of guilt.

Whaaaaaaaat!?

Are you telling me that a prominent member of a police department is found to be clandestinely supporting an alt-right terrorist group!?

SUCH IS MY SHOCK. WHERE IS MY FAINTING COUCH!?
