WASHINGTON (AP) — A California man with a history of political violence was sentenced on Friday to 20 years in prison for repeatedly attacking police with flagpoles and other makeshift weapons during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.  David Nicholas Dempsey’s sentence is among the longest among hundreds of Capitol riot prosecutions. Prosecutors described him as one of the most violent members of the mob of Donald Trump supporters that attacked the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election victory.  Dempsey, who is from Van Nuys, stomped on police officers’ heads. He swung poles at officers defending a tunnel, struck an officer in the head with a metal crutch and attacked police with pepper spray and broken pieces of furniture, prosecutors said. He climbed atop other rioters, using them like “human scaffolding” to reach officers guarding a tunnel entrance. He injured at least two police officers, prosecutors said.

Angry Aurorans and Denverites on social media poked fun at the news media Friday as more information came out about Venezuelan gangs on the Front Range. Aurora Mayor Mike Coffman posted on Facebook that the city will use court orders to shut down additional apartment complexes that have been infiltrated by the gangs. It seemed to contradict comments made by Gov. Jared Polis, who said the gang problem was a figment of Aurora council member Danielle Jurinsky’s imagination.

Sometimes, when busting up a Mexican drug cartel, you follow the cocaine. Other times you follow the cash. But for one particularly impactful investigation, law enforcers followed the horses.

The equines in question were quarter horses, which, among America’s cowboys and Mexico’s vaqueros, are not unlike thoroughbreds. They compete in quarter mile races. Fans bet on outcomes and purses can nip into the millions. However, corrupting the enterprise were top-tier crooks in Mexico’s Los Zetas drug cartel.

“Those horses led to uncovering extortion, racketeering and kidnapping,” Dan Johnstone, co-director of the new Apple TV+ documentary “Cowboy Cartel,” which drops today, told The Post....
