I never give them money anyway bc they use professional fundraisers so who knows how much actually goes to their "causes" regardless how worthy.

that I had a serious issue with law enforcement, and could not guarantee impartiality. Of course, I also stated the same thing about sexual abuse and assault cases. Not only was I not summarily dismissed, I was put in a pool for a sexual abuse case! I was finally dismissed, but not because of those two things. Blew my mind.

An organization that purports to represent law enforcement officials has endorsed a convicted felon and rapist, one who instigated a riot that harmed fellow police officers and who wishes to pardon those same rioters.

What.The.Fuck.

Brian Sicknick is dead, he is a police officer who was murdered on 1/6 and the FOP (fraudulent order of Police) are endorsing the guy who ordered the attack and promises to pardon those who attacked the police that day murdering Brian What the fuck……I am broken.

No, but it's hard to get a number of LEO in the U.S. Bureau of Justice Statistics says 1.2 million full time. It's an older figure, going back to June 2018.

I found other figures that said 900,000.

In 2016 the FOP supported him and Blacks in Law Enforcement said it did not represent the will of the membership.

Thanks!

What the docuseries ends up delivering is something like three different movies in one: a kind of primer on telemarketing as filtered through an anarchic, Animal House-style raunchfest on a late-capitalism bender; a conspiracy thriller that keeps pulling at the CDG thread and finds that the grift runs way, way deeper than anyone would have guessed; and a sort of buddy comedy that finds the present-day Lipman-Stern and Pespas as amateur muckrakers trying to find answers to it all. Imagine an All the President’s Men where Woodward and Bernstein are the world’s most likable jabronis. That’s Telemarketers.

if a lot of people outraged by this endorsement - considering 1/6, multiple felonies, and other lawlessness - wrote to the FOP to express their thoughts and feelings.

They have repeatedly shown you who they are. Many times the badge excuses their bad behavior and their union backs them up . The taxpayers carry the financial responsibility.

If the lawsuit settlements were paid out of the police pension fund the good cops would 'police' themselves. Same thing with gun manufacturers...they're immune from liability. Change that law and they'd be buying back every AR15 ever sold.

And this endorsement of Trump is nothing new. They endorsed the sleze in 2016 and 2020 as well. Over the objections of other law enforcement including the organization, Blacks in Law Enforcement of America.

Read about them, what they've supported etc. HERE: National Fraternal Order of Police - Wikipedia
