FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
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.

(129,171 posts)And yes, of course an officer who's accused of a crime is entitled to due process - but that cuts both ways. The people who are the victims of the accused officer's crime - and all the rest of us - are also entitled to a fair resolution of the officer's guilt or innocence. But apparently it's OK to accuse the officer's victim of domestic terrorism and making her death at the officer's hands her fault without even investigating what actually happened in order to exonerate the officer in advance. The statement calls for "a stop to the anti-law enforcement rhetoric . . . while the facts come out." That would be fine - if we had any realistic hope of an impartial investigation and not one conducted by the same government that has already decided the outcome.

Seems as if they would if they are truly concerned about "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." In fact, Dems commented and responded AFTER TSF and his minions did, to try to counter the misinformation and smearing of Ms. Good.
And I heard NO Dem say ICE agents should be denied due process (which is carried out in the courts). Anyone is free to form an opinion and express it (with the risk of potentially negatively influencing court processes), but again, they should be far more concerned about the potential tainting effect of what the President said about this than others' statements.

(10,826 posts)That is the plastic surgery of the facts that Kristi Noem crafted within hours of the mother of three's death accusing the mother of trying to run down the ICE officer rather than the reality: the mother was trying to get away from them.
President Trump said the officer was hospitalized and lucky to be alive (complete BS)
Where is the presumption of innocence?
Why is the FBI blocking local state police from investigating and the evidence?
ICE is allowed to arrest illegal aliens and those crossing the border illegally. Ms Good was neither of those.
