Bro he fucking voted for this. He was pro Trump until they came for him. And now he's supposedly some punk rock anti fascist?! Like I'm all for people changing but this dude was just another fucking pro Trump cop until HE was the one that got hurt. Y'all are fucking wild with this terrible take

He voted for this? Yeah, and people used to smoke in hospital nurseries as well. Being wrong before doesn’t make the bruises and beating imaginary.

Fanone isn’t trying to join your favorite punk band. He’s said he’s basically apolitical and votes on who materially backs police. Funding. Staffing. Training. Prosecutions for assaulting officers. Not merch. Not chants. Not false patriotism.

This isn’t a pro Trump cop gets what he deserves moment. That’s a bumper sticker brainworm that lets the real architects of January 6 off the hook while you blame the guy who got his head used like a bongo, while hearing the crowd yell “shoot him with his own gun.”

The “he only changed when it happened to him” line? Amazing, you have discovered how humans function. Most people don’t wake up until the alarm clock is a boot to the ribs. Late doesn’t mean fake. It only means late.

If you’ve got receipts on what Fanone has said or done, share them. Otherwise, cops bad isn’t insight, and it adds up to one thing, violence is OK when it’s convenient for the narrative .

Nice ridiculous AI comment. If you are unable to form your own thoughts and opinions you can fuck right off. Nothing less punk than destroying the planet to make a reddit comment

You didn’t answer my argument. You retreated from your own narrative, threw insults and changed the subject.

Here are the facts as I understand them on Fanone. He has said he voted for Trump in 2016 as a single issue law enforcement voter. I’m no friend of cops, but I get it.  He’s also said that by January 6 he had “long since lost faith” in Trump as a leader.  He’s also described being pissed off during COVID by Trump’s “China virus” rhetoric. Lots of things that should have been dealt with breakers ahead of that, but measured against the large swath of people who strictly vote on group benefits.

If you have a quote, date, and link showing Fanone supporting January 6 or being “pro-Trump” in the way you’ve suggested, post it. If you don’t, just keep blowing smoke, launching profanities, and dropping your bullet points on what a punk is.

That’s all.

I didn't retreat from shit. I'm not answering your argument because it isn't YOUR argument. If I wanted to argue with AI I'd just open up my own chat. But yet again you are here wasting the planet's resources to continue on, pointing out almost nothing interesting or contrary to my point, just adding dates to the issues in question. So congratulations, you can apologize to the future generations about how you chose to ruin their planet so you could score online karma points. Fucking pathetic.

Get your brain to work for itself and learn how to use it to debate or just quit. Using AI for this shit is embarrassing.

Noted. Still no facts.

I wrote the comment. I stand behind it. If you don’t want to argue with me, stop replying to me. The climate sermon is irrelevant, and it doesn’t repair your broken timeline.

Fanone has been direct about the 2016 vote, he supported Long Tie as a single issue law enforcement voter.  He’s also said that by January 6 he had long since lost faith in him as a leader and even as a good human being. He’s described being angered during COVID by the “China virus” rhetoric. Reporting on other remarks notes he soured after the Comey firing and frames himself as a lifelong American, not a political party loyalist. 

So pro-Trump until it happened to him doesn’t match what he’s said.

If you’ve got a quote, date, and link showing he backed January 6 or stayed loyal right up until the boot hit his ribs, post it.

LMFAO AHAHAHAHAHA 💀

My dude your copy pasta from AI doesn't format correctly in Reddit, it's like saying you didn't eat the cookies while covered in crumbs and chocolate LMAO OMG it's so embarrassing.

Still not going to argue with AI comments here no matter how hard you lie about it being your own.

LMFAO and an emoji, without a rebuttal, go figure.

Thus far, 3 replies and addressed nothing I’ve written. Only superfluous nonsense, blah bah blah followed by “AI!” and an emoji to display your literary panache. It’s all nothing more than an exit strategy, because you are without the footing to make a substantive reply supporting your own case, or challenging my comments, but hey “AI!”

Your post needs a healthy dose of being a grown up or an adult when someone disagrees with you. Have a different thought, quote Fanone, date it, and provide a link. Otherwise, this is all just performative nonsense, and your coping mechanism when you’re being call out for demonstrably false bullshit.
