In the months since the U.S. Capitol assault, Donald Trump has led the GOP efforts to distort and dismiss the realities of the anti-democratic and deadly riot that the former president himself instigated.
In his retelling, Ashli Babbitt—who was shot and killed trying to enter the House chamber on Jan. 6—wasn’t so much a rioter as she was an “innocent, wonderful, incredible woman.” And, in Trump’s mind, some of the police officers who defended the Capitol that day aren’t the real heroes, calling them liberal “pussies” who loathe MAGA, and outliers within a broadly pro-Trump law enforcement community. .. In private discussions this summer, Trump has told some people close to him that several of these officers strike him as weak and as “pussies,” according to two sources familiar with the comments and who described them independently. Trump has also maintained that these men seem “broke[n]” by the events of Jan. 6, and that they do not have the supposed toughness or character of the law enforcement officers who, on the whole nationally, still widely support Trump and his policies. According to these two people, and another source with knowledge of the matter, the twice-impeached former president has also alleged that these particular police officers are letting themselves be used as pawns by anti-Trump Democrats, like Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), or simply despise Trump and are Democrats themselves. .. Hodges, an officer with the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department, pointedly referred to the rioters as “terrorists,” at one point even reading the federal criminal statute that pertains to domestic terrorism. And Hodges made headlines shortly after Jan. 6 for telling NBC, “it was absolutely my pleasure to crush a white nationalist insurrection… I’m glad I was in a position to be able to help. We’ll do it as many times as it takes." Dunn, who is Black, recounted how members of the mob called him the N-word after he told them he voted for Joe Biden, while noting the pro-Trump apparel of those shouting racist slurs. “No one had ever, ever called me a n***** while wearing the uniform of a Capitol Police officer,” Dunn said. https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-says-jan-6-cops-who-spoke-to-congress-are-pussies Why would "police officers" tell the "terrorists" they voted for Biden during an "insurrection"? I watched a video about the fire department response to this deal and a female black fire fighter claimed the Trump people called her the N word. I find that highly doubtful. Unless the people doing it were Antifa plants. |

Cops have never been called names, ever. They might be in the wrong line of work if they can't deal with insults.

There many be a few decent ones left, but they are being weeded out fast. |

How many officers where there that day? I assume a shit ton of them. Yet we only hear testimony (that they read) from a selected handful. Just political theater.

The Justice Department has closed its investigation into the death of Ashli Babbitt, the 35-year-old Trump supporter shot by a U.S. Capitol Police officer during the Jan. 6 riot, the agency announced in a press release Wednesday.
In a release explaining the decision to close the probe, the department said officials determined "there is insufficient evidence to support a criminal prosecution" of the officer who shot Babbitt. |

I presume they found some officers that are simply dems....but i wonder how others were threatened or bribed.

Trump has no leg to stand on when it comes to supporting ANYONE on Jan 6th. He abandoned all the folks who were there just as readily as the rest of the politicians.

I hope he said it, because it's true. The whole Jan 6th thing is a scam set up by both parties. The police trotted out to tell their stories are dem/establishment operatives.

Watched the testimony of those knuckleheads on the nightly news. When the one guy starting sobbing/crying I thought "Holy shit! What a fucking pussy"
He needs to find a different job. Maybe as a pin setter at an old bowling alley. The less interaction he has with people, the better. |

I find it a bit ironic that a man who claimed bone spurs prevented him from serving in the military is calling Capitol Policemen pussies.
He told that crowd that he would "be with you" on the march to the Capitol then conveniently retreated to the White House. Probably to the same basement bunker he ran to when BLM protestors were in the streets across from the White House. |
