"FOP Stands with ICE"
Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police Condemns Rhetoric
(Minneapolis, MN) The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police stands with the men and women of Law Enforcement across the country. Over the past month, while Federal law enforcement has been doing their job in Minnesota, political and community leaders have condemned and vilified them.
The hateful and anti-law enforcement rhetoric by Mayor Frey and other politicians have made their jobs and those of local and state law enforcement more difficult and dangerous. The job of law enforcement is difficult and dangerous enough without the agitation by leaders in our state and communities.
When citizens are accused of a crime, they are given the presumption of innocence as afforded by due process. When there is an incident involving law enforcement, politicians and activists immediately condemn those involved and are scrambling for sound bites. They do not afford them the same due process but rather convict them in a public court of opinion while an investigation is barely beginning.
The Minnesota Fraternal Order of Police condemns these attacks on law enforcement and calls on politicians and leaders to stop the anti-law enforcement rhetoric and to ask for calm while the facts come out. πΊπΈ #FOPSTRONG National Fraternal Order of Police
I hope one day executing reactionaries becomes the law, so I can enjoy law enforcement together with them
Earlier today I had a bit of an odd interaction with a political liberal pundit. He replied to me and basically said I was a "silly reactionary".
He used to write for a major American newspaper and now one of his jobs is liberal tv gig. At first I wondered if he such a dipshit that he didn't even know what reactionary meant. In context it was 100% clear wasn't on the right. After about 15 seconds - hey, I'm very sleepy today - I realized his comment was a just a simple trap set out to see if I was stupid enough to stick my paw in. Maybe he hoped I'd be rude and snarky as I explained what reactionary meant. Then he could do what libs do on Bluesky - block me and feel superior.
Now that I'm thinking more about it - I bet his go-to move is traps like that. For shits and giggles I'm going to read some of his old newspaper stuff. I bet he thinks he's very, very clever even though that's not actually true.
