OP
It's disgraceful that their own Fraternal Order of Police is not with them.

I am with the police officers too. They lived up to their oath and protected our Constitutional government and our elected representatives. It is too bad that nearly the entire Republican Party does not take their oath of office as seriously. Its time for them to be voted out and tried in a court of law as traitors and insurrectionists.

(1,442 posts)8. Here's the link to an article I found about a CNN interview:
Officer Michael Fanone was interviewed by Don Lemon on CNN.
The article is entitled, "DC cop reveals the FOP cop union has refused to stand up for them in wake of Jan. 6 attacks"

Re conversations with Patrick Yoes, president of the national Fraternal Order of Police:
"I also asked him, which to be honest with you I thought would be a no-brainer -- I asked him to denounce Congressman Paul Gosar's characterization of the United States Capitol Police officer who was involved in the shooting death of Ashley Babbitt," said Fanone. "The Department of Justice had conducted and concluded their investigation into the shooting and deemed that that officer was justified. I found it interesting that, you know, while the Fraternal Order of Police regularly releases statements protecting and defending officers who have been involved in 'line of duty shootings,' that there was no statement denouncing an elected representative who described this officer as an 'executioner laying in wait'. To me that was insane."
The entire article is an eye-opener. The lack is support is unreal.
