FOP President lashes out at 'sensationalists, liars and race-baiters'

Sure, the protesters were allowed to block the street while the command staff hid in headquarters peeking out thru the blinds. When a Lt (who was only ordered to be in the area) talked to the protesters about blocking the street he was called by phone by one of the minions and ordered to stand down. His major (waste of a promotion) then called him and berated him about giving him an order not to engage (never happened). She is now going to write him up for insubordination. Maybe if the front office had some balls they would have went out and talked to the protesters to show them they do not run the city. They even kept the SRT team in hiding so they would not upset anyone while leaving the streets in most divisions understaffed. This department is in for a long summer when there is no support from the command staff. The letters that the chief and the mayor send out saying they have our back is only smoke and mirrors. If you don't believe it just remember they left 3 boys in blue our to deal with all the protesters while they hid in their offices.
