Attacks on Police at an All-Time High

Here's the OP dumb ass;

Default Attacks on Police at an All-Time High
When will we all, collectively, from top down, condemn the violence perpetuated against those who are here to protect and to serve? When will we stop enabling criminals out to cause harm, and to defend those the police instead? Enough's enough already.

A half-dozen law enforcement officers have been shot since Monday – during National Police Week – and at least 106 have been wounded so far in 2021, the National Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) said Thursday.

The number of law enforcement officers wounded in the line of duty this year is already "on pace to surpass last year's historic numbers," the FOP said, adding that of the 106 officers shot year-to-date, 23 have been killed.

It has nothing to do with 1/6.

In your own words, "think before you post".

Yes, this does have something to do with 1/6.

There has been a concerted effort recently by Cons (politicians, media, individuals on this soccer board) to downplay the events of 1/06/21, in particular the attacks on the Capitol police.

You don’t get to express outrage/concern about attacks on cops, but then act like the events on 1/06/21 were just “a normal tourist visit”.

Why is Kevin McCarthy afraid to meet with Brian Fanone?

Because he's afraid of Trump.

Why not. You down play the violence from last summer during the riots, excuse me peaceful protests.

And I didn't see you denouncing this;

No.
And one of the protesters was shot in the face and killed.

In addition to attacking the Capitol police there’s also the little matter of Cons trying to overturn the election.

Cons tried to overturn the election and were even seeking out Mike Pence so they could hang him. And as we have all seen on video Capitol police were savagely attacked.

And yet Cons and Con leadership only grudgingly acknowledge that it was anything more than “a normal tourist day. Pathetic.

The physical toll on officers who defended the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 attack by a pro-Trump mob is becoming clearer, with reports by police officials and federal prosecutors indicating that about 140 officers were injured, the head of the Capitol Police officers’ union said.

“I have officers who were not issued helmets prior to the attack who have sustained head injuries,” Gus Papathanasiou, union chairman, said in a statement Wednesday. “One officer has two cracked ribs and two smashed spinal discs and another was stabbed with a metal fence stake, to name some of the injuries.”

Capitol Police Officer Brian D. Sicknick died after trying to defend the Capitol from rioters. One Capitol Police officer and one D.C. police officer who were responding on the scene have died by suicide since the attack.

And since Jan. 6, 38 Capitol Police employees have tested positive for the coronavirus, almost entirely officers and supervisors who responded to the riot, Papathanasiou said.

At least 81 Capitol Police officers were assaulted during the siege of the Capitol, according to filings by federal prosecutors. The filings did not detail injuries sustained by officers, and a Capitol Police spokeswoman did not respond to a request for comment on officer injuries.

About 65 D.C. police officers also suffered injuries on Jan. 6, including several concussions from head blows from various objects, including metal poles ripped from inauguration-related scaffolding and even a pole with an American flag attached, D.C. police officials have said. Other injuries included swollen ankles and wrists, bruised arms and legs, and irritated lungs from bear and pepper spray.

Reports say officers were pushed down stairs, trampled by rioters, punched and run over in a stampede.

“I’ve talked to officers who have done two tours in Iraq who said this was scarier to them than their time in combat,” acting D.C. police chief Robert J. Contee III said at a news conference earlier this month.

You are absolutely correct but keep in mind always that a con recently told me he will talk about whatever, wherever, regardless of thread topic
