Heroic "Unpaid" US Capitol Police [Really!?]
Fox News Special Report ^ | 10/03/2013 | A.B. Stoddard

Posted on 10/03/2013 4:02:24 PM PDT by SES1066

Multiple mentions made by the liberal-leaning FNC commentators, at least one being A.B.Stoddard of The Hill, highlight that 'some' of the LEOs (Capitol Police & US Secret Service) are doing their duties 'unpaid'.

Based on past history, everyone of these furloughed government employees will receive ALL of their pay once the new spending bills are authorized. So to make a big thing about their current 'unpaid' status is absolute BUNK and totally BOGUS. Liberals being bogus and speaking bunk, big surprise!

I “lived” in WDC for 30 years. The Fed “workers” get their pay retroactively. Essentially, those at home laid off get a paid vacation.

White-whites profiled, tracked down and shot the poor, unarmed Trayvonisha who was only looking to score a bag of skittles.

I heard Ms. A.B.Stoddard make that claim about Capital Police being unpaid. She is so disingenuous for she failed to mention that in all past shutdowns those working unpaid did receive salary after shutdown was over. Those that were furloughed and stayed home even got paid. Stoddard was obvious in her Democratic support.

When I heard that Steny Hoyer had ordered a standing ovation for the capitol cops, I knew that a white guy had just shot an unarmed black woman. Just watch..this is all window dressing.

They did their job? A woman with a baby in the back seat runs into a barrier, and they go totally bananas, running around with assault rifles, wrecking police cars, shutting down the capital, shutting off the White House, etc., etc.

All because of what probably amounted to a minor traffic violation? It clearly wasn’t a terrorist assault. So, why did they have all that crazy stuff going on, which could easily have resulted in the deaths of innocent bystanders?
