Horrific new video obtained by CNN shows a MAGA rioter (in white hat and backpack) grab a DC Metro officer and pull him down Capitol steps where he is stomped and beaten with an American flag pole. At one point they sing the Star Spangled Banner

FOP regularly stands up for bad cops - they're the worst of the worst so it's not surprising they'd endorse a convicted felon who stated he would pardon those who participated in the J6 insurrection, including the ones who beat fellow police officers.

It's no wonder that policing in this country is so broken.

He thought they were a bunch of kooks and corrupt as hell. And this was years ago.

That's why they endorsed him.
