Michael Fanone, the District of Columbia police officer who was dragged into a mob and beaten by rioters during the U.S. Capitol attack last January, has resigned from the force and will take a job with CNN.

--snip-- Fanone made many public appearances following the attack, repeatedly speaking out against lawmakers who downplayed the seriousness of the day's events and warning that the riot posed a legitimate threat to democracy.

Yawn. A whole sh*tload of cops got beaten during the BLM/Antifa riots in 2020, in addition to 35 murders.

Idiot doesn’t realize that the ones who beat him were probably supported by CNN.

The most “gruesome and devastating” footage of all of this I have seen -

presented as “horrific” -

is of some people pushing their way into the Capitol.

There is some yelling.

Some guy seems to get his finger pinched in a door, but then doesn’t.

Then there is lots of footage of people just milling about.

Maybe Michael Fanone is a hero,

just like my pharmacist is now a hero,

maybe not.

Who knows? I’ll be watching CNN to learn the truth.

I don't suppose any video footage of this horrific attack is available.

Kind of weird how a cop who claims he was beat up by Trump supporters at the Capitol Riot would accept a job from one of the same media companies that paid BLM activist/Utah protester John Sullivan to instigate the same capitol riot.

Yeah, where's the video? I don't believe it. That's not how true conservatives act.

He has a rather distinct “southern accent” when he speaks, but it sounds pretty contrived to me.

Any bio search says he was born in the US and nothing more. Married to Chinese woman.

We need a Buckhead level dig on this poser.

I think there is more to this than it seems. A guy named Ryan Nichols claims he helped save this CNN-bound DC cop who had supposedly been knocked out. Since Ryan Nichols was also in the tunnel where a female Trump supporter was critically injured, that means that the CNN cop was in the tunnel, too. According to some reports, the woman was crushed when cops fired rubber bullets on the crowd there and the crowd panicked. But according to other reports, there is a video of a cop beating the heck out of a woman in that tunnel, maybe the same woman. Could the CNN/DC cop have been the one beating the woman, and could that have triggered a violent reaction from protesters coming to her defense? He is an oddball cop, says all the other cops turned against him save two, which he claims is due to him eagerly giving testimony to Pelosi’s comnittee. But could it be the other cops dislike him because he may have been the cop who delivered the blows to the deceased woman?

He got his ass whipped and the DNC’s “media” refers to the boy as their “hero”. He’s perfect for America’s Fake News HQ. He sounds like a crybaby to me. Says he’s got PTSD. ROTFL.

Don’t think so....

That would be par for the course, right there.

What are the chances it's all on video that we'll never see, and that The Swampsters know ALL about?  thinking face

I think it’s a gig job. It’s just security during the packing and the moving out.
