WASHINGTON — A Maryland man who pleaded guilty to a felony for interfering with police at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is now suing several of those same officers – claiming in a lawsuit they repeatedly assaulted him with batons in violation of department policy.
David Alan Blair, 27, of Clarksburg, Maryland, says police assaulted him and violated his Fourth Amendment rights while taking him into custody. He names as defendants in the suit the District of Columbia, four officers he says struck him with batons and two senior officers, a sergeant and a lieutenant, who he claims were negligent in allowing the alleged assault to take place. The suit, which the D.C. Attorney General’s Office removed to federal court on Thursday, seeks a jury trial and damages of $750,000.
Blair pleaded guilty in March 2022 to one count of interfering with police during a civil disorder and was sentenced to five months in prison by U.S. District Judge Christopher. According to Bureau of Prison records, Blair completed his prison sentence in mid-January, although he remains on supervised release. As part of his plea deal, federal prosecutors agreed to dismiss eight other counts against him, including five other felony counts – among them one alleging he assaulted DC Police Officer Kevin Peralta with a dangerous weapon.
At his sentencing hearing in July, Blair acknowledged he’d cross-checked Peralta with a lacrosse stick while Peralta and other officers were trying to move a crowd back across Capitol grounds away from the building late in the day on Jan. 6. Blair, who was also carrying a knife and a Confederate battle flag, told Cooper he’d gone to D.C. to protest the removal of Confederate statues around the country.
“I’m tired of our history being erased in this country,” Blair said.
Cooper, however, said he thought Blair came “primed for a fight.”
“The only folks you encountered are the police, and I think you were provocative. You confronted them,” Cooper said. “You know, I think there are different interpretations as to how you were positioned relative to that police line that was coming forward trying just to do their jobs, but you stood up against them, and you squared off, and you mouthed off, and you cross-checked the guy, right? And that’s an offense, and that’s a felony offense.”
After pushing Peralta with his lacrosse stick, Blair claims in his suit Peralta struck him several times in the head with his baton. He says he was then taken to the ground by other officers and struck multiple times with batons in the arms, torso and legs. During his sentencing hearing, prosecutors acknowledged Blair was injured during the takedown and had to be hospitalized overnight.
  YouTube, AI and the Streaming Wars FEATURED BY vi_logo.svg “But, again, no one else around him – rioters, that is – are defying police the way he is,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Liebman said during Blair’s sentencing hearing. “He appears to be the only one. And, again, he encouraged others to do the same.”
In the lawsuit filed by Blair’s attorney, Terrell Roberts, he claims to have suffered a concussion and multiple lacerations from the blows to his head, including one that required nine staples to close. After being released from police custody, Roberts wrote, Blair suffered from severe headaches, nausea and vomiting and difficulties with his short-term memory.
“Strikes to the head with a baton are prohibited by the Metropolitan Police Department’s standard operating procedures and are universally prohibited because it is considered to be the use of deadly force,” Roberts wrote.
Blair is at least the second person charged in the Capitol riot to file a lawsuit against police. In January 2022, Victoria Charity White, a Minnesota woman facing the same felony civil disorder charge Blair pleaded guilty to, sued D.C, seven officers and outgoing DC Police Chief Robert J. Contee for allegedly violating her rights under the Fourth, Fifth, Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments with baton strikes she received while inside the chaotic Lower West Terrace Tunnel on Jan. 6. The suit sought $1 million in damages. White, who is still awaiting trial, voluntarily dismissed the suit in November.
Roberts previously represented the husband of Ashli Babbitt, the Air Force veteran who was fatally shot while attempting to climb through a window of a barricaded door leading to the Speaker’s Lobby on Jan. 6, in a suit seeking to uncover the identity of the officer who shot her. In an interview with WUSA9 in May 2021, Roberts said Babbitt’s family planned to file a $10 million wrongful death lawsuit against the U.S. Capitol Police. To date, that lawsuit has not been filed.

I agree. They shouldn’t have hit him. They should have shot him.

Then he knows all about entrapment.

So he can be his own expert witness as well as his own lawyer.  Genius.

WASHINGTON D.C., DC — The United States Department of Justice (DOJ) announced that 41-year-old Christopher Grider was sentenced to 83 months in prison for his actions during the Jan. 6 Capitol Breach on Tuesday, May 23.

---

 

Grider was charged and found guilty of the following:

  • Obstructing officers during civil disorder
  • Corruptly obstructing an official proceeding
  • Injuring, damaging or destroying government property
  • Disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building
  • Engaging in physical violence in a restricted building
  • Violent entry and disorderly conduct in a Capitol building
  • Act of physical violence in a Capitol building.

This is the guy who owns a winery with his wife between Temple and Waco. In his spare time he storms the Capitol. I believe he was basically next to Ashli Babbitt when she was shot.

7 years federal sentence for a violent act won’t be easy time. I assume he won’t be in a minimum security camp like the Theranos woman.

I think this is all but imperative in the near future, but I'm not sure you should count on Democrats to do it.  Tough on crime is a staunchly bipartisan position.

The whole "get tough" mantra of the Reagan years has sucked almost all the humanity out of our sentencing and prison "policies." 

Just as rolling the tanks into some country full of dark people makes the insecure adolescent in most American men feel manly, over-sentencing individuals to years in the brutal rape fest prisons we run makes us all feel like hard men.

The supposedly wicked Crime Bill Biden has been associated with had, I've only recently learned, provisions for treating addiction with something other than jail, giving young men something to do at night, and attacking some of the root problems of crime.

The GOPs wouldn't go along with the humane part of it. Just a bunch of stuffed shirts playing the fiction of John Wayne.

Cruelty is indeed the brand.

They literally tried to overthrow the country by violent attack.

Their sentence SHOULD have been dozens of rounds of belt-fed .50 cal ripping their pathetic bodies to shreds in the Capitol corridors.

Anything that leaves them alive is more merciful than they deserve.

They tried to MURDER my country. There is no more heinous crime.

I was going to post that 8 or 18 years is a long fucking time to be in prison, and it is. Reading your post slapped me back to my senses over what was at stake. Without the brilliant and brave action of Officer Eugene Goodman, the rioters may have laid hands on elected members of government. The sight of that and whatever they may have done with them is nightmarish to contemplate. 

Throw away the key.  I don't think anyone should be subjected to prison rape or violence not even these dickheads. They've sacrificed their freedom by endangering mine and everyone else's.

Thanks for the slap.

He played a character on "Mister Show" named President Guy Whitey Corngood who campaigned on blowing up the Moon to appease people from the South.  Later, in real life, he helped start a flat earther message board with the tacit understanding that the Moon did not in fact effect our ocean tides.    And then joined in an assassination attempt to overthrow our own government on January 6th.  

7 years ago, i called many of you fucking insane for thinking a gameshow host/failed casino owner would become our head of State.  So this all tracks.  Fucking fuck.

Yeah, Jimmy Pesto being a Trump guy tracks. Divorced. Weird kids. Being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole. All that's missing is him being a real estate agent.

I didn't bother to look up who he voiced on Bob's Burgers. 100% doesn't surprise me it was Jimmy Pesto.

Well, if the prosecutor is in agreement, then she's crazy as a shithouse rat.

Also telling that she has appointed counsel, which means she's indigent.

Probably also means she's going to be committed to a federal facility for treatment to restore competence.

Ooof, if the judge had given him an "acceptance of responsibility" credit on the sentence, which can be worth about 18 months, and might seem to have had some basis based on the reportage, she should have immediately tacked it back on.

Not sure she can do that, but she should have.

"I don’t give a s--- about Daniel Rodriguez. He ceased to exist to me as a person a long time ago," Fanone said. "Any compassion or empathy I felt toward those who laid siege to our Capitol, whose actions I felt were at least in part influenced by their leader Donald Trump and his lies, has been eroded — eroded by the attacks directed at me and my family by supporters of Donald Trump and the right- wing media."

Fanone, from the link

"What you guys did today was treason and a homeland security threat ... Everyone there should be locked up for the rest of their lives, including you," A.J. Mock wrote in a message to his dad that was introduced as evidence at trial. "You STORMED THE F---ING CAPITOL."
 
 

Imagine destroying your family to worship at the altar of Dotard. That’s the shittiest thing imaginable.

The really serious shit.  Thanks, Twice, for that slow one over the middle.

No bar moves that fast.  What that means is that she's not particularly interested in maintaining her bar license.  Any action taken by the bar, whether over "undemocratic activities," or over a felony conviction for a serious crime (which ain't happening anytime soon), or over her mental status, she's not likely to contest it

I don't believe that is where Babbitt was shot.  

https://www.nbcnews.com/video/capitol-shooting-that-led-to-ashli-babbitt-s-death-captured-on-video-99180613572

You’re right. Here I’ve been thinking that this was the other side of the barricade Babbitt and her cronies were trying to breach.

IMG_9749.thumb.png.8fac519d174b4a420eb8b81a88c02943.png

So who was on the other side of this?

Obviously someone who was smart enough to walk away when they saw a gun pointing at them. But the video you posted shows Ashli had no excuse. We can see the gun and hear people clearly shout “He’s got a gun!” a couple times well before he fires a shot.

You know, I hate it every time someone brings up Ashli Babbitt getting shot dead.

Because it makes me break into a wide, happy grin every time, and that's hard to explain when I'm otherwise just sitting at my desk or somesuch.
