‘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.”

I wish we could send the IDF there to take care of business.

Who the hell worth their salt would even want to be police in that toilet?

Interesting. They had plenty of staff 4 years ago when they prevented dying WWII soldiers from visiting the memorial due to “Covid”.

Uneffing believable! Was there no intel indicating this riot was going to occur? Why weren’t 10,000 National Guard sent in to end it?

The President, the Defense Secretary and Secretary of the Army have the authority to activate the District of Columbia National Guard. Why didn’t they do so?

Our beautiful limestone monuments to the brave men and women who created and expanded our country are ruined.

Where were the horses, the German Shepherds, the firehoses, the truncheons, the cattle prods, the billy clubs, the impenetrable lines of blue, and the shouldered rifles? Was there nobody to stop these commie Islamists in our own capitol city?

They handed President Trump another winning issue here. I hope he hangs this around the necks of all Islamist-loving Democrats.

Geez. Now the student loan deadbeats are all Fuzzy Muzzie
Terrorists. Sure glad we bought their college certificates for them. The bass turds aren’t letting them go to waste with all these terrorist riots they got going. The Department of Jerks need to designate the Student Loan Deadbeats as an Islamic
Terrorist Group.

It couldn’t be worse than Jan 6. Those people were insurrectionists. I don’t feel bad for the DC police. I hope they have more mostly peaceful riots.
