(117,936 posts)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.

(5,962 posts)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.

(8,624 posts)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.

(37,173 posts)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.

(24,253 posts)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.

(304 posts)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.

(7,989 posts)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.

No surprise.

(2,790 posts)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

(9,380 posts)the fascist corporations to try to end democracy. No surprise here. A fascist police force falls right in line with a fascist criminal dictator to do his bidding. Once again they are showing us who they are.
