Fraternal Order Of Police Responds To ‘Reacher’ Actor Alan Ritchson’s Claim That “Cops Get Away With Murder All The Time”

After Reacher star Alan Ritchson made the claim that the police “get away with murder all the time,” the Fraternal Order of Police organization took some time to address the actor’s inflammatory comment, encouraging him to mind his own business.

“While Mr. Ritchson gets his face and forehead powdered on set, our officers are out doing a job he doesn’t have the courage to do,” the organization prefaced. “While he gets to hear loud pops and have blanks fired at him, our officers feel the heat of the bullets as they pierce their skin.”

The statement continued, “There are no take two’s or take three’s in real life Mr. Ritchson. We have people who want to kill us and we play for keeps. Just another useless Hollywood actor, virtue signaling for attention at the expense of brave police officers around this country.”

“Go back to your pampered life and let the heroes handle this,” the FOP’s statement concluded.

On Tuesday, Ritchson would take to social media to respond to the FOP’s social media post, sharing a post on Instagram in which the Reacher actor decried the organization’s comments — labelling their response as “emotionally immature.”

Doesn’t appear he is better. Another libtard people like to identify with, like the American Sniper actor. Total wuss and libtard.

I had never heard of Alan Ritchson before. But now I will know whom to avoid watching.

Just like the other Tinseltown miscreants not counting James Woods, Jon Voight or Robert Davi.

I’ll bet Alan has no problem with Bill Clinton or Xiden being rapists.

Good for Keanu. He’s a Canadian, and a far better one than Jim Carrey.

Reflexively, one wants to reject Ritchson's comment as ignorant and wrong. On reflection though, I am not so sure that he is entirely off base.

Consider the wanton police misconduct on January 6 at the Capitol, especially the wanton killing of Ashleigh Babbitt. I call that a cop getting away with murder.

More broadly, the selective prosecution of Trump and his political allies and FBI conduct toward them are deeply wrong. Not even the judges look good, with many January 6 defendants jailed on bogus or excessive charges and kept in dismal and cruel conditions before trial.

On balance, I am still a supporter of law enforcement, but less so nowadays.
