BREAKING: Superstar actor Alan Ritchson of Reacher fame hits back hard at the pro-Trump National Fraternal Order of Police for calling him a "useless Hollywood actor" who is "virtue signaling for attention at the expense of brave police officers." This is a real showdown between good and evil... The deeply corrupt fraternal cop organization is infuriated with Ritchson because he said that "cops get away with murder all the time" and called for justice for Breonna Taylor, an innocent Black woman who was killed by police. After the Fraternal Order of Police posted online insulting and smearing Ritchson and telling him to "go back to your pampered life and let the heroes handle this" he responded with a fiery post on Instagram— "This kind of emotionally immature response is the epitome of what concerns me about law enforcement today," he wrote. "If this is how leadership handles a peaceful disagreement, what does life look like for those unseen interactions in the street? How does this shape the character of those police officers looking to management?" "Do you really want individuals so easily angered and bully like school children to have a gun and the protection of an untouchable union?" he went on. He added that there are "many good and brave cops" but said that there can't be "blind allegiance" when it comes to bad cops because it's "dangerous" and "fertile ground for fascism." "There are rogue or ill-equipped officers who remind us that we need higher barriers to entry and stricter regulations so abuses are relegated to the past," he stated. "To only seek praise and ignore this need is extremely unwise and endangers those at risk of being ostracized and marginalized." Not done there, Ritchson also tore into MAGA Governor Ron DeSantis for passing a "law making it illegal for anyone other than the police to police themselves." "This lack of transparency would be laughable if not so deadly," he went on. "Efforts like these take us further from the world I hope to leave for my children, which is one with extreme prudence when deciding who we arm and a glass house for public institutions. Especially ones with the ability to end lives." Ritchson was already hated by the MAGA crowd for calling Trump a "rapist and a con man." Now, they're really going to despise him.
