‘Badly understaffed’ Park Police assaulted by ‘mob of thousands,’ pelted with poop at pro-Hamas riot in DC: union chief

It was a s–tshow.

US Park Police were “alone” and “understaffed” while being “assaulted by a mob of thousands” of pro-Hamas rioters in Washington, DC, on Wednesday — some of whom even pelted officers with poop, according to the force’s union chief.

Park Police Fraternal Order of Police chairman Kenneth Spencer told The Post in an interview a day after the unhinged riot that just 29 of his officers had faced down the terrorist-sympathizing mob outside Union Station — which is just blocks from the Capitol.

“We were primarily alone,” said Spencer, a 15-year veteran who revealed that years of “empty promises” to beef up the agency’s shoestring budget have gone unfulfilled by Congress and the Interior Department, which primarily deals with the nation’s rural national parks rather than civil unrest in big cities.

“Especially in the DC area, everybody’s so understaffed just like we are,” he explained. “We have a huge mission. We’re the agency that protects First Amendment rights when people come to visit DC.”

Can’t hurt them with pressurized water, they’ll sue.

Classy Leftists on the loose.

Sounds like their union, the United States Park Police Fraternal Order of Police, should have called for a strike until staffed and armed appropriately.

Let a Democrat call in the National Guard against Democrat rioters.

Shitites and their Janissaries!

Maybe the Knights of Columbus should have showed up with their fancy swords and guarded the Columbus Memorial at Union Station. Instead it was defaced with graffiti, and physically damaged. It is falling apart as it is.

There’s a reason God invented the AC-130.

Rubber bullets knee-high, for starters...

The real action is beginning. They are realizing they can easily outnumber law enforcement in localized areas. Democrats have done their part with woke rules of engagement that endanger the cops and assist the violent lawbreakers. Hickory Shampoos are a thing of the past.

INSURRECTION!!!

[blackdog]

An insurrection for sure.

“Maybe the Knights of Columbus should have showed up with their fancy swords and guarded the Columbus Memorial at Union Station.”

The old guard would have. The organization has probably “awokened” since then.

I really don’t care about the DC police. They receive what they ask for. All police are not the same. If my husband worked down there, and he was treated badly, like some were, he would have looked elsewhere for a job in another town.

Brace yourself for another “summer of love,” and don’t you dare defend yourself or your property unless you have a desire to be mostly-peacefully beaten to death by a mob.

Understaffed? But didn’t Biden hire 80,000 new IRS agents to harass the taxpayers?

Apes in the zoo throw poop at people. Just sayin’.

during the 77 inauguration of jimmy carter the MPs at ft Belvoir and 82nd airborne were in riot gear for 2 days waiting on sight to be used if needed.

[bdfromlv]

Ask zelinski, I heard he’s awash in cash and weapons.

“pelted officers with poop”

Democrats center their lives around filth and anuses. They are sick people.
