前华盛顿大都会警察局(d . c . Metropolitan Police Department)警官迈克尔·法诺内(Michael Fanone)周四出庭，面对一名暴徒，这名暴徒将他拖入特朗普支持者的暴徒中，并在2011年12月12日的一场骚乱中对他进行了野蛮袭击1月6日袭击国会大厦，敦促联邦法官对他的罪行判处最高刑罚。
“我愿意用所有这些注意力来换回警察工作，”法诺尼在田纳西州居民阿尔布开克·海德的宣判上说。“但我做不到。在过去的18个月里，我职业生涯的失败和我所忍受的痛苦的催化剂是阿尔伯克基·海德。”
美国地区法官艾米·伯曼·杰克逊(Amy Berman Jackson)最终判处海德七年半监禁，称他是她1月6日案件中“最严重的罪犯”之一，并在当天“促成了最可怕的袭击警官事件之一”。
检察官敦促杰克逊法官判处Head八年监禁，比Head的共同被告之一凯尔·杨(Kyle Young)多一年，他也参与了对Fanone的攻击。
他们说，根据海德对范尼的袭击以及他的大量犯罪记录，包括大约45次被捕，更长的刑期是合理的。
在听证会上，检察官播放了Fanone的人体摄像头片段，其中你可以听到Head抓住Fanone后的声音，似乎保证他会保护他。
“我会尽力帮你解决这个问题。你听到了吗?”负责人说。
Fanone随后回复道:“谢谢。”
然而，几秒钟后，海德向暴民喊道:“嘿!我有一个!”
然后，他用胳膊搂住Fanone的脖子，开始把他从保护下西区隧道的警察路障旁拖走。
检察官说，Fanone随后被人群中的暴徒恶意殴打，并被泰瑟枪击中颈部，心脏病发作，随后被护送回警戒线，后来被送往急诊室。
“法官阁下，我想请你对海德先生表现出他在1月6日对我表现出的同样的仁慈，”法诺内周四说。"如果法庭上有任何问题的话，那就是没有问题."

这是Fanone第二次在对一名被判袭击他的暴徒的判决中发言。今年9月，他在对扬的判决中发表了类似的声明，敦促杰克逊法官做出严厉的判决，并表示，这次袭击“让我失去了我的职业生涯，让我失去了对执法部门和许多我奉献了20年的机构的信心。”
杰克逊法官在对海德的判决中发表了慷慨激昂的讲话，指责他的律师声称他对范内将他拉进人群后发生的事情没有责任。
“我一刻也不能接受，”杰克逊说。“谁把他暴露在人群的怜悯之下?...Fanone警官被困在你送他去的人群中。”
正如她在对杨的判决中所做的那样，杰克逊直接指出了那些仍然试图传播2020年大选被盗这一谎言的人，指责他们“出于自私的目的”煽动愤怒。
“他们需要考虑他们造成的破坏，他们毁掉的生活，甚至对他们支持者家庭的伤害，以及对这个国家基础的威胁，”杰克逊说。那些仍然相信他们被告知的事情的人，那些感到不安的人，需要明白，无论他们有多么愤怒，当他们越过界限，违反法律，最重要的是，当他们决定与正在履行职责的警察战斗时，他们将被追究责任，后果将是严重的。"
Former MPD police officer confronts Jan. 6 Capitol attacker at sentencing
Former D.C. Metropolitan Police Department officer Michael Fanone appeared in court Thursday to confront a rioter who dragged him into the mob of Trump supporters that brutally assaulted him during theJan. 6attack on the Capitol, urging a federal judge to hand down the maximum sentence possible for his crimes.
"I would trade all this attention to return to policing," Fanone said at the sentencing of Tennessee resident Albuquerque Head. "But I can't do that. And the catalyst for the loss of my career and the suffering that I've endured in the past 18 months is Albuquerque Head."
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ultimately sentenced Head to seven-and-a-half years in prison, describing him as one of the "most serious offenders" in her Jan. 6 caseload and "instrumental to one of the most horrific attacks on officers" that day.
Prosecutors had urged Judge Jackson to sentence Head to eight years in prison, one year longer than the sentence handed down to one of Head's co-defendants, Kyle Young, who also joined in the attack on Fanone.
They said the longer sentence was justified based on Head's initiation of the assault on Fanone and his substantial criminal history that includes roughly 45 prior arrests.
During the hearing, prosecutors played out Fanone's bodycam footage in which you can hear Head's voice after grabbing Fanone, seemingly assuring he would protect him.
"I'm going to try to help you out here. You hear me?" Head said.
Fanone then replied, "Thank you."
Seconds later, however, Head called out to the violent mob, "Hey! I got one!"
He then wrapped his arm around Fanone's neck and started dragging him away from the barricade of officers protecting the Lower West End Tunnel.
Fanone was then viciously beat by rioters in the crowd and tasered in the neck, suffering a heart attack before he was escorted back to the police line and later transported to the emergency room, prosecutors said.
"Your Honor, I would ask you to show Mr. Head, the same mercy that he showed me on January 6," Fanone said Thursday. "Which in case there's any question in this courtroom -- is none."
It marked the second time Fanone has spoken at the sentencing for one of the rioters convicted of assaulting him. He delivered a similar statement in September at the sentencing of Young, urging Judge Jackson to hand down a harsh sentence and saying the attack "cost me my career, it cost me my faith in law enforcement and many of the institutions I dedicated two decades of my life to serving."
Judge Jackson delivered impassioned remarks in her sentencing of Head, rebuking his attorneys for claiming he didn't bear responsibility for what happened to Fanone after he pulled him into the crowd.
"I cannot accept that for one moment," Jackson said. "Who exposed him to the mercy of the crowd?... Officer Fanone was trapped in a crowd you delivered him to."
As she did in her sentencing of Young, Jackson called out directly those who still seek to spread the lie that the 2020 election was stolen, accusing them of stoking anger "for their own selfish purposes."
"They need to think about the havoc they've wreaked, the lives they've ruined, the harm to their supporters' families even, and the threats to this country's Foundation," Jackson said. "And the people who still believe what they're being told, the people who are upset, need to understand that no matter how outraged they are -- when they cross the line and break the law and most importantly, when they decide to do battle with the officers who are doing their duty, they will be held accountable and the consequences will be serious."
