Julie Kelly: The DC City Government Settled a Lawsuit Alleging Racist Police Abuse... by CNN's Favorite Cop, the "Anti-Insurrectionist" Opportunist Michael Fannone

fanone.jpg

As Julie Kelly notes, this leftwing pansy sure has parlayed his "30 minutes of struggle" in a three hour riot that happened two years ago into a lot of money and fame.

And yet, no one seems to be interested into looking into the background of this newly-minted Political Superstar.

But Julie Kelly's interested.

Michael Fanone, the former D.C. Metropolitan police officer using his presence at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021 as a pathway to fame and fortune, is on a major publicity blitz. Along with his Pulitzer-prize finalist co-author, Fanone managed to turn his 30-minute struggle that afternoon into a 256-page book: Hold the Line: The Insurrection and One Cop's Battle for America's Soul is an "urgent warning about the growing threat to our democracy from a twenty-year police veteran and former Trump supporter who nearly lost his life during the insurrection of January 6th.

Never mind that Fanone was well enough on the evening of January 6 to call CNN and complain about its news coverage or that he sat for a lengthy interview with a Washington Post reporter a few days later. Fanone is part of a quartet of celebrity cops juicing every second of their involvement in the four-hour disturbance nearly two years ago, earning lucrative book deals, congressional awards, and cable news gigs in the process.

...

[O]ne name is missing from Fanone's profane screed: Michael A. Maddox.

And for good reason. In 2014, the District of Columbia settled a lawsuit filed against two D.C. Metro police officers for violating the civil rights of Maddox, a black attorney working at the time in the legal department at Howard University. The city paid Maddox $175,000 in damages.

One of the officers named in the lawsuit was Michael Fanone.

On the afternoon of October 8, 2009, Maddox was standing on the corner of 5th and K Streets looking at his BlackBerry when Fanone and his partner, Officer Samuel Modin, confronted him. "Maddox sensed the presence of two individuals assuming aggressive positions when he was suddenly and without warning cornered and seized by--Modin while Defendant Officer Michael Fanone blocked Maddox's only other means of escape," Maddox's lawyers wrote in a 2010 complaint. Modin shoved Maddox, an Air Force veteran, against a garbage dumpster.

Modin then forced Maddox's arms over his head and Fanone interrogated him. "Do you have any weapons or drugs on you, sir?" Fanone asked. (According to the timeline in Fanone's book, he was on the vice squad in 2009.)

Modin proceeded to frisk Maddox while Fanone stood in an "aggressive posture." Modin, under Fanone's watchful eye, conducted three "testicle-striking attempts" to find contraband in Maddox's pockets, finding nothing more than his BlackBerry hip holder and a money clip.

When Maddox asked Fanone what the problem was, Fanone responded that it was a "high crime area."

Neither officer identified himself or explained the reason for the aggressive search; as Fanone and Modin attempted to depart the scene of the assault, Maddox grabbed his cell phone to record their faces so he could later file a report with D.C. police.

And that's when Fanone flew into a rage.

"Maddox's videotape commences with Defendant Fanone halting his progress to the patrol car, covering his face in an ill-fated, last-ditch effort to continue to mask his identity from Maddox and reversing his direction of travel to advance on Maddox's position standing on a public sidewalk holding his cell phone." Fanone angrily walked toward Maddox, asking if there "was something he could help with" and got "face-to-face" with Maddox. "Put the camera away!" Fanone demanded.

Fearful that Fanone would physically assault him, Maddox backed away. "Put another way, at that moment on his cellphone video, Maddox alleges that he was assaulted by Defendant Officer Fanone." Maddox twice asked Fanone why he had to stop recording; Fanone did not answer. When Maddox asked Modin on what basis the officers shoved, searched, and menaced him that afternoon, Modin replied they were conducting a "citizen's contact."

In other words: Maddox was "standing while black."

Under oath at a subsequent deposition, Fanone denied ordering Maddox to stop taking video -- until confronted of the video of him doing just that.

Posted by: gourmand du jour, in vino veritas at October 24, 2022 02:12 PM (jTmQV)

69 So this seems like as good a time as any to ask a question that's been on my mind for a while. Pretending for the moment that the new Speaker wouldn't be someone as spineless as McCarthy, if the GOP retakes the House (and maybe the Senate), how far should they go with all this?

The J6 Committee, for example. Should the whole thing just be shut down? Or should we start using it for our own purposes, investigating what the Capitol Police and the feds were up to that whole time, subpoenaing Democrats and Deep State employees, having Julie Kelly come in to talk about the political prisoners, etc.?

Because if we're going to go that route, I think the only way we'd get mileage out of it is by going all-in; like sending out the sergeant-at-arms to arrest those who ignore the subpoenas, recommending whatever criminal charges we can against Michael Byrd, this Fanone guy, and company, and so on. Is it better to go to that effort, or just crush the committee altogether?

I mean, I hear ya. What I guess I'm saying is, I think the middle course, in which the GOP talks about "finding out what really happened" but then just issues some sternly-worded letters, is the worst of both worlds. We get accused of politicizing the effort to "protect democracy!!!" and end up with no concrete gains.

My opinion is, it might be best just to chuck the whole thing at once, but if you're going to try and turn it to your benefit, you need to be serious about it and really start throwing the book at people. We'll still be demonized by the Left, of course, but if media figures and bureaucrats start getting dragged into the committee, by force, it might just make some of them a little bit afraid, and hesitant about trying to pull the same crap as in 2020.

Do you have any direct, personal knowledge that Ted Kennedy left that girl to drown?

In any case, this isn't a trial, I'm not under oath, and I'm not claiming any special knowledge.

I have a genuine belief that Mark Fuhrman and his buddies were corrupt as hell, and expressing that genuine belief is not "bearing false witness". Sorry, it just isn't.

183 A lot of this shit goes back to the selective enforcement and prosecution of laws for the left and then what is enforced and prosecuted against the right. The left is emboldened today and such administrative shenanigans like stealing elections are now pretty much SOP with them.

I've said this before; the Democrats will use legislation to their benefit to reverse/nullify the outcomes of any, or all of the mid-term elections with results they don't like.

This presser by the DoJ is setting the table for such activity to take place under the guise of "election integrity." Failing that I'd bet they suspend elections indefinitely. For democracy. Or something.

262 As much as I shit on DU here, this recent post seemed a little weird. Any Texans around to confirm this?

As early voting begins in Texas, hundreds of candidates have been 'declared elected' Due to a new state law, Texas Secretary of State John Scott issued a letter Sept. 8 saying that officials listed in an appendix, including 10 candidates for state Senate and 58 candidates for the Texas House, “are hereby declared elected” because they do not have an opponent.

The names of the winners by fiat still appear on the ballot in their county or district, but on a list on a corner of the ballot as “declared elected.”


There's even an alleged image of an example.

When they were separate companies, Sirius was the bland corporate 10 songs a day service and XM was the one run by actual music nerds. The 80s channel played literally everything that came out from 1980 to 1989 even if it wasn't a hit. Like you'd hear a completely random Run-DMC deep cut.

Again, you need to suggest a federal election law that has been violated in order to even proceed at the federal level when suggesting any state's election was invalid - and that used to be violations of the VRA of 1965 - but they can't even do that prior to the election since "pre-clearance' of accused violations can no longer apply. They need to have proof to pursue it in court, and they must purse it after the election has happened.

490 Good afternoon, y’all. It’s gray and drizzly on the gulf coast.

As for this Officer, I am sure this was just a small transgression on his part, he really had a bad day that day. So move along, please. Let’s talk about a real racist! Trump! Proof? We just know it because. Yep. Because. Officer Facial hair, of which there is actual proof, is absolutely not racist. But Trump, he is one bad, bad person. He commits cleverly hidden terrible deeds on the daily.

A high school friend of mine had a room in the basement of his house his parents allowed him to turn into a music/party room. We set up a very loud, moderate quality quad system in there.

The loud was more important to us at the time than the quality. Another friend's dad was in the radio business and used to get all kinds of demos for free. It's amazing I can hear today.

493 Racism score, so far:

Fanone: stopped a Black guy on the street for no reason.

Fetterman: chased a Black guy down a street with a shotgun.

Warnock: Thinks aborting Black babies is no big deal.

494 Michael Fanone's legal past has turned him into a very useful tool of the left. A little less useful now that this dirt has surfaced.
