*Authorities on Friday arrested a man accused of assaulting D.C. Metropolitan police officer Mike Fanone, who was allegedly beaten and tased by a mob of rioters during the assault on the U.S. Capitol. Charging documents say Thomas Sibick ripped Fanones badge and radio off his uniform during the assault on the west front steps, and subsequently buried the badge in his back yard.

If the idiot went to his back yard and dug up the badge that he buried, it was only to get a lesser sentence...
....To prove that he is............"Sorry for what he did.."............................................................
