Being from a military background, I am more grateful than can be imagined to read your experienced take on what Trump and his minions are doing to our safety, public good and shrinking economy in DC. Sir, I salute you!
Wow, you really hit it from so many angles. Well done! Could quote many part but this one opened my heart as I viewed your heart❣️. You wrote : “And if I’m on duty and come across a group of masked, armed individuals with no visibly identifying markers of law enforcement attempting to force someone into an unmarked car, I will treat it as an armed kidnapping until the abductors are able to prove they have the legal authority to arrest someone.”
Your a moron it’s clear to see what has been going on in this city trying to deny the crime rate is protecting criminals what does that make you ? So many citizens already spoke out against the maire and the crime happening we see it on television let not believe our eyes right!?! You doing a great disservice to your community and looking foolish doing it
And the Blackshirts were a necessary intervention to clear up the menace of the Jews. The statistics are clear- crime was already lower in DC than in 2020. There was no need for any of these pointless interventions except to create a sense of fear.
You didn’t take in the change of laws making felony charges a lesser offense and the fact that certain police chiefs are facing charges of manipulating numbers to make it look better why don’t you go ask actual residents their opinions and for all the white older people they don’t live in the Chicago area that have the problem it’s easy to say their no problem when you’re nowhere close to where de problem are the facts will come out it amazes me that many are protecting the crooks and illegal immigrant without reflection on the consequences look at real numbers not doctored statistics by maire and police trying to hide the obvious how many people died last weekend!? One is to many wake up if you really care about life’s! Many seem to care more about politics than citizens security it will all come out and the people trying to make false narrative will look corrupt
I grew up in Northern Ireland during the troubles - we had a genuine reason to have troops on the streets; terrorism. DC doesn’t. But if you keep talking it up, insisting that there’s a need for stronger interventions, more paramilitary forces, you’ll create a sense of fear that simply isn’t borne out by the facts. That’s exactly how 1930’s Germany got the Blackshirts. Create a sense of fear about Jews (or nowadays, illegal immigrants). After all, that fear justifies masked men snatching people off the street like some Central American death squad.
But why let facts or statistics guide you? Your opinion is obviously far more valid than facts.
Hmmm… Seems the condemnation of someone that admires a pedophile and felon would be, among actual decent folks, a badge of honor. You unwittingly make his case. Well done!
I’m glad the legal system works on facts not hearsay and unproven allegations or outright manipulation of facts many would be in prison that kind of legal system is in china or communist countries
The total cost of the National Guard deployment in Washington, DC to date is estimated to be approximately $134 million. This figure covers expenses such as personnel pay, lodging, transportation, food, fuel, and other logistical requirements. The deployment involves over 2,200 Guard members and has been costing roughly $1.06 million per day. If the dumpster had given that money to the DC Police Department it could have hired a lot more recruits and would fix the problem permanently. Thank you for your honesty, in today’s world that’s quite a feat..
In 2024, House and Senate Democrats secured nearly $400 million in public safety funding. This included hiring and training law enforcement, upgrades to police equipment and technology, and support for violence intervention and mental health services.
Far left let’s? Not even. Another person who can’t read or doesn’t understand what was meant by defund. I’m not sure that progressives were even the ones who started using that term. The idea was to have counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists to work with the police and be in sent in for mental health crises. But the media,corporate media along with the right wing propaganda media
I encourage you to open your eyes see there is crime in “Red” cities it is also bad. But I doubt you’ll do that. I won’t engage with someone who refuses to see the truth and facts. So bugger off.
Explain the misunderstanding. The Left refuses to deal with crime and violence, actively advocating abandonment of the cities. Trump is actively opposed to that. Why do you dislike poor Americans?
Recent action shows that most Democrats have supported public safety measures and additional funding for police at both the local and national level—including nearly $400 million secured for police programs in 2024..
That is a flat out lie. Propaganda. I don’t know about others but I am so sick of the nasty lies you people tell. Go in your caves back under your rocks until you can actually learn how to think.
Without the tag along of applying some of that police money towards calling more psychological police and community work towards working with criminals. But it still wasn’t enough concern compared to the disrupter’s first term, knowing he lies to win the second term. Proven now!
Somehow the court/fines he wins from Universities, firing of Colbert, Joy, NY Times, even found The View on ABC talking less critical & more you may know, the bully really scares people. He’s such a disruptor in our health and welfare….and so far allowed.
I think you will find that the majority of our citizens are behind you all the way. It’s only a small percentage of people who are backing this atrocity. It is past time for Congress to do it duty and everyone who can should let them know.
We need more brave men like Daniel speaking out. He is a credit to his uniform and to the United States. I know there are more of them out there and they are the true faces of Justice.
Michael Fanone and Harry Dunn are also on Substack. Dunn was a Capitol police officer who was fighting to protect the very people who are abandoning law enforcement now. Fanone was a Metro D.C. offer who self-deployed on Jan. 6 and was nearly killed that day. He suffered a heart attack AND a tbi (traumatic brain injury) after being tased repeatedly and almost murdered with is own gun. Check out their writing here if you haven't already. Fanone has his own page besides being affiliated with this one.
Edited to add: Harry Dunn was also badly beaten, plus he was subject repeatedly to racial slurs that he said he had never before heard while wearing his uniform as a Capitol officer.
When did "back the blue" become "beat them black and blue?' During the plans leading to Jan. 6, apparently.
Thank you for lifting your voice to call out the utterly evil insanity Trump unleashed upon this nation on January 6, 2020 and continues to hurl at us day after day. Bless you, Sir, for defending our democracy at your own peril. I am so sorry you personally experienced the hideous attack on our institutions of government and the tradition of counting presidential ballots. I watched my TV in horror as the attack continued and escalated. That day will go down in history as the day a 250 year old democracy and the people who defend it were violently attacked by terrorists calling themselves “patriots.” Unfortunately they have not yet given up their desire to destroy all that we value and hold dear. Thank you.
Thank you. The video of you in that doorway was the most harrowing I’ve ever seen. It’s the clearest example of the complete lack of humanity in that group of thugs. Please know we saw your torment and hate that such brutality ever happened.
Thank you for your service, in the military, on Jan 6, and today. And thank you for your courage in speaking out about this regime. ♥️
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We cried out for you and all the other officers who were fighting to protect our Capital. We are living in a dangerous time and I respect you for returning to your job.
Thank you Daniel for speaking out. What's going on in this country under Trump is deplorable!
You gave your bravery on January 6th and risked your life only to have Trump pardon all the heathens that put your life and those of your fellow officers in jeopardy. It's a disgrace. My dad was a Boston police officer, so I know how you put your life on the line everyday. Thank you for your service everyday and for being a hero on January 6th.
Thank you for this, and for your service to DC and our country. Thank you for speaking out. In this dark national moment we need all hands bringing the Light. We must meet & defeat this tyranny.
Thanks Dan, for having the moral courage to speak out. As a retired cop I am encouraged to know that there are still working police officers who are against this shit and willing to speak out. We need more cops to display the same courage.
Thank you sir, for speaking out with courage and truth. We truly need more like you in the police force. May God be with you in your service.
Being from a military background, I am more grateful than can be imagined to read your experienced take on what Trump and his minions are doing to our safety, public good and shrinking economy in DC. Sir, I salute you!
DEFINITELY not enough of them!

Fake news by a paid for unethical cop
You must be a MAGA keep your ignorance out of intellectual discussions.
Beat me to him, Connie. Thx

Open your eyes Gary. Don't believe you will be saved, cuz you won't.
Hmmm… Seems the condemnation of someone that admires a pedophile and felon would be, among actual decent folks, a badge of honor. You unwittingly make his case. Well done!
FOXed by a f@sc1st
Sure thing Russia. It’s adorable that you hide your face.
Like the fake news that you leader is child molesting scum bag. You people should be ashamed but you never will be,
You spelled "ethical" wrong
You are FOS
I’m glad the legal system works on facts not hearsay and unproven allegations or outright manipulation of facts many would be in prison that kind of legal system is in china or communist countries
Thank you, Daniel! Your work is very inspiring to those of us who don't have your experience, but have seen your incredible courage.
I'd like to point out in passing that the meaning of the name Daniel is "God is my judge".
If Trump's so concerned about "getting into Heaven", perhaps he should take note.
Trump has no soul
Thank you. Keep safe in these troubled waters….

Republicans- party of fiscal responsibility my …
My Ass to complete your statement!! I’m disgusted too!
Robert, spelled out as simply as that. Thank you for the $ facts, usually that is what motivates people. But still doesn’t work??
Defund the police. Remember?
No one in the Democratic party ever seriously took that up as a campaign slogan. A few far-lefters, perhaps.
In 2024, House and Senate Democrats secured nearly $400 million in public safety funding. This included hiring and training law enforcement, upgrades to police equipment and technology, and support for violence intervention and mental health services.
Why didn’t I hear that. Thanks Robert, send that around.
Far left let’s? Not even. Another person who can’t read or doesn’t understand what was meant by defund. I’m not sure that progressives were even the ones who started using that term. The idea was to have counselors, psychologists, psychiatrists to work with the police and be in sent in for mental health crises. But the media,corporate media along with the right wing propaganda media
It got an awful lot of air time and the base seemed to take it seriously.
“air time” = MSM hyping it up
MSM is Dem PR outlet. I don't! recall any Dems repudiating it.
Not hardly. MSM is owned by corporate Trump toadies.
You misunderstand what was meant by that statement or just purposely ignore what it actually means.
I encourage you to open your eyes see there is crime in “Red” cities it is also bad. But I doubt you’ll do that. I won’t engage with someone who refuses to see the truth and facts. So bugger off.
Explain the misunderstanding. The Left refuses to deal with crime and violence, actively advocating abandonment of the cities. Trump is actively opposed to that. Why do you dislike poor Americans?
Your comment is ridiculous. I refuse to even entertain your question
In your own mind, I encourage you to explain the violent crime wave in Dem led cities.
Recent action shows that most Democrats have supported public safety measures and additional funding for police at both the local and national level—including nearly $400 million secured for police programs in 2024..
That is a flat out lie. Propaganda. I don’t know about others but I am so sick of the nasty lies you people tell. Go in your caves back under your rocks until you can actually learn how to think.
I actually was told by a conservative, that was the reason he didn’t vote for Harris. She did use this term defund”
Without the tag along of applying some of that police money towards calling more psychological police and community work towards working with criminals. But it still wasn’t enough concern compared to the disrupter’s first term, knowing he lies to win the second term. Proven now!
Omission is one of the standard tactics of misdirection. I’ve noticed that the major network news is using it more.
Somehow the court/fines he wins from Universities, firing of Colbert, Joy, NY Times, even found The View on ABC talking less critical & more you may know, the bully really scares people. He’s such a disruptor in our health and welfare….and so far allowed.
He’s seriously damaged social norms enough so I’m not at all sure that we’ll be able to get many them to crawl back under their rock voluntarily.
He scares people who shouldn’t be, that’s the real scary part.
I think you will find that the majority of our citizens are behind you all the way. It’s only a small percentage of people who are backing this atrocity. It is past time for Congress to do it duty and everyone who can should let them know.
They know. But the majority of them are financially backed by Israel. Why do you think they are so silent?
We need more brave men like Daniel speaking out. He is a credit to his uniform and to the United States. I know there are more of them out there and they are the true faces of Justice.

Danone is also on YouTube.
Didn't know that, thanks. I generally prefer reading to watching.

I appreciate you speaking out and sharing. You are one of the true American heroes!!🇺🇸
What an excellent piece. Thank you writing and sharing it.
Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We cried out for you and all the other officers who were fighting to protect our Capital. We are living in a dangerous time and I respect you for returning to your job.
Along with the others, thank you for your courage. I can't imagine the process of healing physically and mentally since that awful day.
Thank you Daniel for speaking out. What's going on in this country under Trump is deplorable!

Thank you Daniel. There are so many of us who are still humbled by what you and your fellow officers did for us that day.
Thanks Dan, for having the moral courage to speak out. As a retired cop I am encouraged to know that there are still working police officers who are against this shit and willing to speak out. We need more cops to display the same courage.
Thank you, Daniel, for standing tall in the face of tyranny. God bless you and protect you against this horrible horrible tyrant. 🙏❤️🇺🇲
