JUST IN: The Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police union in the U.S. that endorsed Trump in the last election, has issued a statement condemning his pardon of the violent January 6 rioters.
“Crimes against law enforcement are not just attacks on individuals or public safety —they are attacks on society and undermine the rule of law. Allowing those convicted of these crimes to be released early diminishes accountability and devalues the sacrifices made by courageous law enforcement officers and their families.
When perpetrators of crimes, especially serious crimes, are not held fully accountable, it sends a dangerous message that the consequences for attacking law enforcement are not severe, potentially emboldening others to commit similar acts of violence.”
@Lyddlemami@SoCalFirePhoto Agreed, the on the job experience, the personal risk taken for others, put them in a position to earn a liveable wage and some self respect and I doubt you'll see them lapsing back into old habits anytime soon.
@OCFireAuthority Forward progress has not been stopped but the growth from 22,376ac to 23,139ac over the course of the day is a lot of peace of mind my dude. We appreciate y'all more than you will ever know.
@ScummyMummy511 No unfortunately we've been informed that public works employees started this fire bulldozing rocks and bolders trying to create barriers to keep dirt bikes and other OHV out of the area to prevent future wildfires much like the Holy Jim Fire.
@robertliefeld@sykogrl "No, they have not." solid argument. 2019 after the 2018 Holy Fire we were hit with torrential rains like nothing we had ever seen before, how did the news describe it? An Atmospheric River System called the Pineapple Express.
