Numerous areas around the country are seeing an increase in violent attacks against Police Officers and one group is asking for help from the public to protect the police.
The following press statement was released to the public asking for the public’s assistance for Police Offices who appear to be in danger.
The National Police Association To Broadcast New Television PSA Urging Americans To Immediately Assist Police Officers In Danger
“Assist the Officer,” Video Asks Citizens to Assist Police Officers in Danger by Immediately Calling 9-1-1 Rather than Simply Filming for Social Media
On October 9, 2020, a Baltimore MTA police officer was found unconscious at the Upton Metro Subway station, with no citizens rendering aid. Instead, an individual chose to film the incapacitated officer with a cell phone to post on social media. On October 17, 2020, a North Carolina police officer was airlifted to a hospital after brutally being beaten, and once again, instead of helping this officer a bystander stood by and filmed the incident. Citizens across the country have taken to filming and posting officers in danger to their social media channels rather than calling 9-1-1. Through the “Assist the Officer” PSA, the NPA aims to create awareness around the dangers posed to both officers and citizens when passersby choose to merely film officers in danger with their phones instead of calling 9-1-1 for assistance.
“Many times, incidents where struggling police officers are captured via cell phones go widely unnoticed, except on social media, with local and national news rarely reporting on the issue,” said National Police Association Spokesperson Sgt. Betsy Brantner Smith (Ret.) “This PSA will inform citizens on how filming, instead of aiding, a police officer in danger is an incredible risk for law enforcement professionals, and the communities they serve. The NPA strives to end this behavior, and ensure the dangers this poses to police officers gains more news coverage on a local and national level.”
“Assist the Officer” will be distributed through TV Access to over 1,800 U.S. television cable networks and major market stations. A radio version is also being distributed to 1,000 radio stations across America for airplay nationally. The 60 sec TV PSA can be viewed here.

Well… The cops attacked the proud boys yesterday that was 100% unprovoked. They were ordered to turn around by antifa AND THEY COMPLIED… So, I do not think it is going to work out well for cops. You had a group that would have died for them, now are being turned on. Na, when they follow the unconstitutional orders like sheep. They are on their own.
Well, well, the number of nazi cops are increasing at an alarming number! The best thing for honest patriot cops to do is get out NOW! These radicals well intend to have brown shirt police before the end of all this. It fits the agenda of overthrowing a nation. This is not going to end well at all for the losers of what’s coming and has been for sometime now. Patriots will either take back this country soon or face life in tragedy never known to Americans to date! Its just that simple. Make your minds up to take it back! Or shut up! There’s our choices.
Since they continue to ignore the violence by BLM and Antifa, looting, arson, assault and battery while arresting people for opening their business, not wearing a mask, holding family dinner the police can go screw themselves.
They did this. They chose to enforce these fake laws while ignoring real laws being broken. Not only will I not help one now, I would film it, laugh while doing it, and post it for the world to laugh too.
police officers take an oath to uphold the constitution and not some politicians bullshit. They harm those most likly to help then don’t understand why they don’t. If deadly force is used the one helping will probably go to jail 1st and serve more time.
