A cop says he is in fear. For his life after Trump pardoned the Jan six rioters. All right, so this is a former DC officer. And let's put it up. [00:00:18] Full mass will remind you of what that crowd looked like. Okay. That's terrifying. Let's go to the video. And let's talk about the individuals that that were pardoned. Daniel Rodriguez sentenced to more than 12 years in prison after he pled guilty [00:00:37] and admitted to using a Taser device, applying it to the base of my skull numerous times while I was being restrained in a crowd, and assaulted. Albuquerque, Cosper head from Tennessee, placed me in a headlock. [00:00:56] Pled guilty. This is the rider that if you watch my body worn camera footage yelled out, I've got one! As he dragged me out into the crowd. Thomas Sibbick, who while I was restrained and being assaulted, ripped my badge and my radio from my police vest. [00:01:15] Kyle Young, who again while I was being restrained and assaulted, tried to remove my firearm from its holster as he violently assaulted me. Because of Donald Trump's actions, my family is less safe. [00:01:32] Yeah, Donald Trump is anti-police, right? Has to be. I mean, he's an officer who was assaulted illegally by multiple individuals. Donald Trump said, let him go. What he did wasn't that bad. He was standing up for America. [00:01:51] Put it up full mass. After Trump pardoned nearly 1500 criminal defendants charged in the Jan six Capitol terrorist attack, former DC officer Michael Fanone feared for his safety. The man pictured in the red circle. [00:02:10] Dragged the officer on that day. Physically assaulted, dragged him. There's witnesses. There's video. You even have people who have pleaded guilty. They said, yeah, I did it. Take me away. Trump said, oh no, no, no, it's not your fault. [00:02:27] It's not really your fault. He continued to recount the threats he has already experienced since appearing as a witness before the select congressional committee investigating the event. My family is less safe. We have suffered threats and acts of violence almost immediately [00:02:44] after my congressional testimony in the select committee hearing. In fact, I didn't even make it through my testimony before I received the first threatening phone call. My mother has been the victim of swatting incidents. She has had bricks thrown at her home in the middle of the night. [00:03:00] And recently, while she was raking the leaves in her front yard, she had an individual pull up a rock, pull up in a truck, excuse me, and throw a bag of ish On her. This is the type of conduct and behavior that we've experienced for four years. [00:03:20] And quite frankly, law enforcement has been feckless in its attempts to protect us and prevent these types of crimes from occurring. Speaking with Morning Joe host on Wednesday, the officer the former officer explained that he was going through the process [00:03:38] of securing protective orders against some of those involved who he believed could do harm to his, harm to him or his family. Rounding on Trump's pardons, the former officer said that he expected [00:03:55] more threats and potentially violence to come his way as a result, saying that the Trump administration had put a target on his back. Now, this is going to be an irony, above all ironies here. Let's put it up. Let's go to the. [00:04:14] Let's go to the Fraternal Order of Police. So the police union. The same police union that endorsed Donald Trump during the 2024 election has condemned President Trump [00:04:32] over his pardon of the Jan six rioters. Okay, so they released a joint statement. They condemn it. Now, remember, they endorsed him knowing that he said what he said. [00:04:49] That they are patriots, that he is likely going to pardon them. They are great Americans, the Fraternal Order of Police, they still endorse them. And then they released this. Well, we endorse them, but we really don't like what he did with this. [00:05:06] You have the question. Is the police for the police? Because I'll be damned if I'm paying dues, and I'm a union member of whatever fraternal union. [00:05:21] And somehow a politician is able to get more favor than me. And I'm a member of the organization. What the hell is going on? They still endorsed him even though they don't like this part. How did Trump come to the decision? [00:05:38] All right, so white House source told Axios on Wednesday, how this all happened, and came to favor the one blanket gesture. So Trump said F it. Release them all. [00:05:56] That's it. That's how he came to the decision that they were going back and forth about how to do it and and the protocol and how to. And Trump said, f it. Release them all. [00:06:13] There you have it. Let me say this. I really hope Democrats are taking notes. I am. I hope progressives are taking notes. It will be yours again. Believe that this pendulum will swing back to the left. [00:06:32] This is an opportunity for some learning to happen now while Trump is the evil empire, no question about it. His decisions are swift, his actions are bold. [00:06:48] His team well. They understand their assignment. The question is, do we understand ours being thoughts? This is the America excuse me that we're living in now. [00:07:03] We're not living in the United States of America. We're living in the United States of Trump. There's no world in which these actions make sense as what's best for our nation. There's only the world where these actions make sense for what's best. [00:07:18] For Trump, he tried to overthrow the certification of an of an election he didn't like the results of. That's treason. He ginned up his insurrection, and then he now. [00:07:33] Pardons the people who committed it, including the violent ones. Including all of them. And you'll notice this is how a dictatorship. Takes hold. How an authoritarian takes hold. Because his vice president, JD Vance, and many of his top people [00:07:50] during the campaign said, well, he's going to pardon the nonviolent ones, but we all agree pardoning the violent ones is something that should not happen and won't happen. Then, as soon as Trump does it, I guarantee you J.D. Vance isn't going to say a word about it. - Not a. - Damn thing. [00:08:05] When he gets called out on it in an interview, he's going to say, well, you know, they've already served plenty of time. And I'm now repeating exactly what Trump says. You can see the fear of standing up to the Dear Leader. That happens even in his second in command. [00:08:21] Already on Inauguration Day, when he goes and speaks for about 45 seconds before Trump, before he risks Trump getting upset that he's stealing his spotlight. And all he says is, it sure is a cold one. And how amazing Donald Trump brought us inside. [00:08:39] Go ahead and speak now for an hour and a half, sir. It is a nation that is to serve one person now and he's unleashed. It doesn't matter if his demeanor is quieter because he's older and tired [00:08:55] or more tired. He is doing the things that are just crumbling. The very nature of what any good nation, let alone a great one, stands for. Police officers were beaten. Some of them lost their lives over this. [00:09:14] And Trump doesn't care because he won't lose support over his brainwashed supporters. And this again, is day one. Day two. God forbid what we're in store for over the next four years. [00:09:31] There you go.
