Online "sedition hunters" identified Valentine in 2022, according to a website affiliated with the sleuths. Members of the mob, including the man authorities identified as Valentine, push a "Trump" sign into police officers. Two weeks ago, one of the most violent Jan. 6 rioters, David Dempsey, was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison. "And then we're going to have four years of dragging our nuts across your forehead, because Donald Trump is gonna win, and he ain't just gonna win, but he ain't just gonna win... he's gonna win bigly," Dempsey said, before breaking into a Trump impression. Some officers who were assaulted on Jan. 6 are supporting Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, with former Capitol Police Sgt.
