Summary
Police officers who defended the Capitol during the January 6, 2021 riot condemned Donald Trump’s mass pardon of those involved, calling it a “miserable miscarriage of justice.”
Trump granted clemency to over 1,500 individuals, including those who assaulted law enforcement.
Former officers Harry Dunn and Aquilino Gonell criticized the pardons, highlighting lasting physical and emotional scars from the attack.
Both officers, now advocates against political violence, emphasized the erasure of accountability and warned of the dangers of Trump’s actions normalizing future violence.
Anyone wanna guess who those same cops voted for?
In this particular instance, I’m going to doubt many of them voted for him because he was very vocal about planning to pardon the insurrectionists.
Back the Blue!*
~* = as long as they are beating up the people we want them to~
The schadenfreude is delicious seeing class traitors get shafted by the upper class, but at the end of the day trump has his extralegal brownshirts now.
I mean, they’re police officers, they have access to the resources to find these traitors and hunt them like animals… So maybe they can do their fucking jobs
It’s actually a serious offense to use law enforcement information systems for personal reasons. Dispatchers and emergency call takers would get fired for it. Police, maybe desk duty and a reprimand or something. Still, it is considered serious.

It used to be a serious offense to stage a coup.
