Pro-Trump Police Union Says Jan. 6 Pardons Send ‘A Dangerous Message’ \u2014 Huffington Post<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div>\n
The Fraternal Order of Police, which endorsed Donald Trump in the last three elections, said it was “deeply discouraged” by recent pardons.<\/strong><\/div>\n

JUST SAYING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

BY RAUL HERNANDEZ<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

\"\"
Capitol Breach Jan. 6<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the fractured, Swiss cheese brain of Dementia Don, this isn\u2019t about “accountability” or “consequences for attacking law enforcement.” Not in the slightest. It\u2019s about a crass, soulless, and power-drunk thug clawing for revenge \u2014 revenge for the United States rejecting him, for Pence refusing to be his puppet, and for failing to crown himself emperor of a country built on democracy.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
He reveled in the chaos when police officers were under attack. He basked in the violence when his unleashed mob \u2014 a horde of goons and crazies \u2014 stormed the U.S. Capitol. Officers were injured, lives were destroyed, and some even lost their lives. Yet, here he stands, pardoning violent criminals as though their acts of brutality were badges of honor.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
This grotesque betrayal spits in the face of everything so many have fought and died for. Those names etched into the Vietnam Veterans Memorial \u2014 all 58,318 of them \u2014 stand as a testament to the ultimate sacrifice for values Trump tramples with every vile act.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
And yet, perhaps the more gut-wrenching question is this: why did the Fraternal Order of Police endorse him again in 2024? After watching their own brothers and sisters beaten, bloodied, and battered on January 6th, how could they believe that this hateful, vindictive, and mentally unhinged man would ever champion them?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
What does this say about the police union? About those who were supposed to stand as a bastion of justice and integrity?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
