Naturally, after the letter, these same community leaders are calling for the resignation of the FOP President, Dave Mutchler.
The local FOP chapter has basically said enough is enough and decided to verbally put folks on notice. Some excerpts from the letter (which you can read at the link below in full):
quote:
To the criminal element in our community - we do not fear you. We are not your punching bag and we will not simply stand by and accept your verbal or physical assaults....Most importantly, though, take note of the following: If you actively resist or assault us, we will use every option available to take you into custody. If you use deadly force against us or use or attempt to use a dangerous instrument or deadly weapon against us, we will use deadly force against you and we WILL stop the threat to us, fellow officers or the citizens we serve.
quote:
To the sensationalists, liars, and race-baiters - we are done with you. At first it was good enough to just sit back and watch your spectacle. No more. Now your rhetoric, lies, and hate puts all of us, police officers and citizens alike, in danger. For now on we will call you out each and every time you tell a lie, twist the truth or otherwise engage in vile behavior meant to push your selfish agendas. If you behavior or untruths causes harms to us or the public, we will make every attempt to have you investigated, charged, and prosecuted at the local, state, and federal level.
Some strong language, but the FOP here is absolutely fed up. And I really can't say that I blame them.
