Showing Original Post only (View all)Fraternal Order of Police condemns DJT's Jan.6 pardons [View all]
'Donald Trumps blanket pardons to January 6 rioters have been condemned by a major police union that had endorsed his candidacy.
'The largest police union in the US, which endorsed Donald Trump during his campaign, said Trumps decision to pardon more than 1,500 people convicted over the January 6 insurrection sends a dangerous message, in a statement on Tuesday.
The Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), which endorsed Trump in September 2024, and the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) warned that the blanket clemency offered to rioters including those convicted of violent offenses, and several leaders of the attack on the Capitol threatened Americans safety.'
