PierreTABC This NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED!!! I'm glad you are ok. But this should not have happened. Those Losers acted on Trumps words. Thank God he is out of office. Trumps the Ringleader to these Supremacists, that's the problem.
PierreTABC FBI FBIWFO thank you for your service. pleased to see these TraitorsToDemocracy being arrested
PierreTABC Most welcome precious people
PierreTABC Heart breaking.
PierreTABC LOL... it's nice that ABC has rediscovered the word riot . Seems a tad partisan
PierreTABC TY for sharing. I am very grateful he has recovered fully and is able to tell his side of the story.
PierreTABC
PierreTABC He didn’t fear for his life?
PierreTABC
PierreTABC All thanks to Trump. What a great President.
PierreTABC Horrific 😳🤯
PierreTABC Didn't these same 'patriots' scream BLUE LIVES MATTER, BACK THE BLUE, DEFEND THE POLICE in the aftermath of the George Floyd killing? Now we have confirmation that their stance was actually anti-Black Lives Matter than pro-police.
PierreTABC Im still wondering how the former vp is able to even be free from treason?
PierreTABC Clearly he wasn’t working the BLM riots last summer 🤡🤣
PierreTABC Wow, he looks so brutilized.
PierreTABC Its so heartfelt when he said that someone said'kill him by his own gun' we deeply love you Officer...
PierreTABC Hero
PierreTABC What a warrior. What a human. 🤯👊🏼

PierreTABC Story from the officer would have been very different if the protesters were black
PierreTABC Please, I need your help, please share this video The Most Populated Countries In the World:
PierreTABC They were beating him with flag poles, tearing off his gear, trying to get his gun & at no point did he think to pull that gun on any of his white attackers. Instead he went to the most effective defensive tactic taught in police training...yelling “I have kids.” 🤨
PierreTABC Thank God that you survived sure death in the hands of the white savages intent on spilling blood, especially that of colored people.
PierreTABC You should have yelled blue lives matter
PierreTABC As more information comes out about what happened in January 6th, it is increasingly showing that the behavior of Trump supporters is truly appalling and inexcusable.
PierreTABC Horrible!
PierreTABC That was the only Combat he’s ever faced!
PierreTABC I think this guy was almost eaten by his own and just had a serious fucking wake up call
PierreTABC It’s the blue lives matter crowd calling this guy a pussy for me. FYI...they don’t give a shit about blue lives.
PierreTABC All he was trying to do is he job
PierreTABC a good officer, if the beating with a flagpole is assessed by him as Ice battle 1242.
PierreTABC Thank you for your Service
PierreTABC That’s some scary stuff. On our Angels.. I am so sorry. I did not know the World was this Bad.
PierreTABC

PierreTABC Every minute trump doesn’t admit he lied about winning this election, the more he’s STILL ENCOURAGING SEDITION
PierreTABC Clearly he hasn’t been in real combat.

PierreTABC May 30 2024 will be the 100th anniversary of Fred Trump getting arrested leading a violent mob of 1000 hooded KKK Klansmen that attacked the police in Queens NY.
PierreTABC Such a huge difference. BLM was fighting for police not to murder them, but when one officer found themselves alone they did not beat him or kill him. They protected knowing the same humanity would not be returned if it was the other way around.
PierreTABC 🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏽 Thank You for your service 🇺🇸🇺🇸
PierreTABC Fake news. Most brutal combat would be the BLM protest held in the blue states. Get your facts first.
PierreTABC Officer Fanone I'm sorry you endured such trauma. Glad you survived. Thank you for your service.
PierreTABC Awwww
PierreTABC Hero
hwinkler4real PierreTABC You can tell he is haunted by it every time someone makes him tell the story again. I hope he'll be okay.
hwinkler4real PierreTABC Maybe he would like to tell that to ww1, ww2, Vietnam, Korean, desert storm, etc, etc. Vets.
PierreTABC SO GLAD he SURVIVED!
PierreTABC Anybody else or just me?
PierreTABC Combat what combat. Was he in Vietnam. No he wasn't. He's a mall cop. 🇺🇸💪💯
PierreTABC Sickening that our President incited and encouraged these horrific acts of domestic terrorism. ImpeachTrumpAgainNOW
PierreTABC They're just getting started. We can't let our guard down and we must keep conservatives out of office as much as possible.
PierreTABC For references who want to find additional income or money from the internet. I hope it's useful and good luck everyone.
PierreTABC They never interviewed those beaten in the riots in the summer
PierreTABC Thank you for protecting our Capitol honorably, Officer!
PierreTABC All in the hands of Trump inspired “Patriots”.... Wake up Trump-Followers... snap out of your trance.
PierreTABC Thank you, Mr. Fanone, for valiantly doing your job. My sincere apologies for the scum that attacked you.
PierreTABC Guess he’s never been in real combat. Talk to a vet sir if you want to hear the real horrors of war.
PierreTABC Thank god he’s ok .
PierreTABC I am so relieved you are okay. It sounds like a traumatic time for you. Take care
PierreTABC This guy doesn't look like a cop. His very clean and fresh long sleeved polo looks like a costume.
PierreTABC Vast over statement. If he feared the tiny Capitol protest, he would have wet his pants at any of the riots of the BLM thugs, with their beatings, rapes, shootings, murders, store pillaging, and city burning.
hwinkler4real PierreTABC This is the saddest thing to ever happen. Our own people attacking us.
hwinkler4real PierreTABC God bless him it brings me to tears he had to defend himself against America insurgents
hwinkler4real PierreTABC You can see him fighting around the 1 hour 9 minute mark of this video. Thank you Officer Fanone.
hwinkler4real PierreTABC Giuliani called precisely for 'COMBAT' That day
PierreTABC Why don’t we have more of people like Michael Fanone? We need to hear from them loudly.
PierreTABC I am so sorry you had to experience this. I thank you for your service. I praise God you are still alive and able to tell your story. This will be remembered as the worse day in history.
PierreTABC And then he got to watch video evidence of colleagues taking selfies and removing barriers, while he and others were being attacked.
PierreTABC And yet they were allowed to leave, go pack and check out of hotels, travel to the airport and board flights and go home.... all while alive!! Go figure
PierreTABC Brave man who is a hero saving the good and bad lawmakers!
PierreTABC Wimp
PierreTABC God bless the Police and National Guard soldiers on the National Mall protecting us and our cherished democratic institutions from Trump’s supporters.
PierreTABC Must of never seen the blm riots
