I defended the Capitol from Trump’s mob. I know he’s an insurrectionist.
The Hill ^ | 03/21/2024 | DANIEL HODGES

Posted on 03/21/2024 10:00:44 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

When I received my acceptance letter almost a decade ago to the Metropolitan Police Department of Washington D.C., my imagination raced with the intense, life-or-death scenarios I would be confronted with on a regular basis in order to protect and serve the citizens of our nation’s capital.

But even while contemplating such scenarios, I never imagined what I experienced on Jan. 6, 2021, or that I would be one of a few dozen officers standing in between former President Donald Trump’s fascist dreams and American democracy. The attack on the Capitol, perpetuated by a mob commanded by Trump, was and still is an existential threat to both my city and the country at large.

The world looked on in horror as thousands of Trump’s most loyal followers overran police barricades, stripped law enforcement officers of our equipment and savagely beat us. They looked us in the eyes and called us — the ones protecting the Capitol — traitors.

“perpetuated by a mob commanded by Trump”

FAIL...he commanded the opposite....perpetuated by RAY EPPS, Antifa, FBI, and Nancy.

Everything that follows a false assertion is where I stop reading.

You’re a liar, Danny boy. Because it is impossible for one in your position to be so woefully misinformed.

The assault on the capitol began before President Trump’s speech at the “Stop the Steal” rally ended. In that speech he told his people to “fight like hell”, but followed it up with “peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard”. Those who instigated the assault were primarily ANTIFA and Occupy types disguised in Trump gear, along with various federal agent infiltrators.

And the Trump people came unarmed, but you people and your lying media enablers characterized it as an armed rebellion. When the real Trump people arrived, you invited them in, to set them up for later arrest.

A Metropolitan PD of the City of Washington in the Military District of Columbia (politically administered by the US House of Representatives, per the US Constitution, original).

Pretty LOW down on the food chain to express a LEGAL opinion of something he could NOT KNOW or ever KNOW to be true— that Trump was/is an “insurrectionist”.... just as this a@@hole wouldn’t have known our Founding Fathers and Colony Militias were or were not insurrectionists. WHOM exactly has this MPD clown sworn allegiance to—the US Constitution? Because if so- he has violated it MAJORLY. No, the MPD Oath of Office does not mention the US Constitution, only the legal horse hockey pucks which are the DC criminal codes— set up by the US House!!!

Dan, you could have had the assistance of up to 10,000 National Guard troops that were offered by then president Trump but Nancy Pelosi ignored the offer.

Gunther and Toody are more qualified to wear the badge

I thought it was Toody and Muldoon, maybe?

Dark circles under the eyes, lots of nervous energy and a facial affect that screams-— “show me your p p!!!”.

Honestly— a really arrogant prick POSEUR—! Dead right- this clown looks in the mirror like anthony weiner. Pursed lips and all.

“my imagination raced.... with intense life-or-death scenarios”...What? Metropolitan Police is a CITY COP, with even less power than any major other city police personnel in the US, since the City of Washington is under the jurisdiction of the Military District of Columbia, under political control of the US House of Representatives. and the Capitol building has it’s own FEDERAL police, separate from Metropolitan beat cops, and traffic cops..... cause that is what the Capitol Building is— a building. You are NOT the personal guard of the reps and senators unless they TASK YOU TO BE!!! And in no case are you under Oath to the US Constitution,nor to any fantasy of a Democracy which is not in the US Constitution.

The Capitol police did little more than you did— to “defend democracy” ‘officer’ hodges. Truly, ESAD hodges.

Barf. How much did you get paid for this piece of state propaganda, comrade?

No, not a huge ego or super ego— a STABLE self confident ego, and sense of self. This clown reeks of unstable, short fused, mental midget. Not a candidate for any police force— even a private warehouse guard.

The black lady chief and her boss Muriel Bowser the black female “mayor of Washington, in the District of Columbia. Both under direction of Nantzi Pelousi, Speaker of the House per the US Constitution. Correct!

I wonder what would have happened if some cop had shot a BLM unarmed protester in the face while she entered a building she shouldn’t have been in.

And how the pretentious ‘men’ of the press and their bimbo counterparts would have dealt with that murder. I’m guessing the cop would not have been promoted.

Just a wild guess.

And his aim was absolutely terrible- she was shot in the upper torso. A KILL shot- all the clown could manage and did not need to fire. He was scared, like the fat a@@ turd he has always been (as he was when he left his service firearm in a Capitol public bathroom!!! Fact! and Fire-able offense).

Even if the entirety of the crowd was hell bent on insurrection that has nothing to do with Trump and anything he said or did or encouraged.
