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.
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.
