    Well, he could do some pandering. If he promised to declare Trump an enemy combatant and ship him off to GITMO so as to face military justice, I dare say he might yet earn my vote.

    The bar is really low these days. Vowing not to release violent criminals from prison deserves a big atta boy.

    12.5 years isn’t enough for someone who used a weapon against an officer.

    Minimum 20, to 30 max.

    Total 30 including probation.

    And yet Fanone was given almost no support from police overall. Just the opposite. Sick culture


    Healed from his physical injuries but still on mental-health leave, Fanone now spends most days alone. He goes to the gym, takes care of his daughters part time, fields media calls. He probably can’t go back to undercover work, and he wonders if he’d be safe going back on the job at all. Colleagues he’s known for decades don’t talk to him anymore. Guys who never called to check in when he was in the hospital send him taunting memes about his liberal-darling status.

    “I had convinced myself, Mike, you’re vocalizing the opinions of thousands and thousands of police officers. But I’m starting to think I’m vocalizing the beliefs of just one,” Fanone says one day over lunch, as his three young daughters dig into their chicken tenders. “While there are still some officers that are very supportive of me, I can count them on one hand. The vast majority of police officers—would they have been on the other side of those battle lines?”

    Of course. How can I be so silly? Plus we all just need to move on. This was a brief event from a group of extremists with no connection to the greater movement and has no larger significance and should be quickly forgotten
