Police Union That Endorsed Trump Condemns Jan 6 Pardons—'Dangerous Message'

The largest police union in the U.S. has condemned President Donald Trump for his sweeping pardons of those involved in the January 6 Capitol riot in 2021.

The Fraternal Order of Police, which endorsed Trump in the last three general elections, issued a joint statement with the International Association of Chiefs of Police denouncing the "dangerous message" that pardoning those convicted of assaulting officers sends.

Newsweek has contacted the White House and the Fraternal Order of Police for comment via email.
