BlueCrew - Community<p>Michael Fanone is a former law enforcement officer, author, and analyst best known for his service in the Metropolitan Police Department of the District of Columbia from 2001 to 2021. He began his policing career with the United States Capitol Police, then moved to the Metropolitan Police, where he spent most of his career as a plain-clothes and undercover officer investigating narcotics trafficking and violent crimes, participating in over 2,000 arrests. Fanone also served as a special task force officer for the FBI, ATF, and DEA, and received more than three dozen commendations during his career.</p><p>Michael Fanone became nationally recognized following his involvement in the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. Responding to an emergency call, he was dragged into the mob, beaten, and repeatedly attacked, suffering a heart attack and traumatic brain injury. He later testified before the House Select Committee investigating the January 6th attack, recounting his experiences and emphasizing threats to democracy. After retiring, Fanone worked as an analyst for CNN, a security consultant, and firearms instructor.</p><p>He has remained a vocal advocate on issues of law enforcement and democracy and has spoken publicly about the aftermath of the Capitol attack, including the threats he and his family have faced. Fanone was recognized for his actions and awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal by President Joe Biden.<br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueCrew" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueCrew</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BlueCircleFamily" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlueCircleFamily</span></a>🌈🦋<br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/BluePetPatrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BluePetPatrol</span></a>💙🐾 <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ProudBlue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProudBlue</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Thisiswhywefight" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Thisiswhywefight</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/Resist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resist</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/TruthWarriors" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TruthWarriors</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StrongerTogether" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StrongerTogether</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NoKings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoKings</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DemocracyMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DemocracyMatters</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/DefendDemocracy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DefendDemocracy</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/StayWoke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StayWoke</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/NoMoreAuthoritarians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NoMoreAuthoritarians</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/ProtectOurRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectOurRights</span></a></p>
