Fraternal Order of Police go with convicted felon over prosecutor

That tells you everything you need to know.

Of course, the FOP and organizations like it are dominated by conservative white members. When black members speak out, they are not heeded. I found this PBS link from 2020 that I'm pasting below. it outlines the frustration among cops of color.

If so, they are in the wrong line of work, or the wrong country, if they won't respect and stand with the US Armed Forces against a pack of vile insults from a draft-dodging Felon/Rapist.

They are playing into the hands of the republicon-russian black ops propaganda zone flood.

Suckers. Losers.

The day maga assaulted cops at the Capitol. We know for a fact that some of those cops were trump supporters.

What if maga goes full-on violent again? Would those cops hold the line or hold the door open for the traitors?
