2 Pittsburgh motorcycle officers removed from unit after Trump rally

The Pittsburgh Fraternal Order of Police is fiercely defending two of its own after the motorcycle supervisors who were part of former President Donald Trump's motorcade in Butler County on Saturday were removed from the unit. KDKA-TV's Mamie Bah reports.

For the Afghan pullout he negotiated before leaving office? Or your team can do no wrong? It’s everybody else’s fault. PLUS TRUMP IS A CIVILIAN JUST LIKE YOU AND I.

[@Smokr]

Let me guess.... the two officers who ran to the building, one boosted the other up, and they spotted the shooter and radioed the information. Those two?

[@ChiefBridgeFuser]

[@lchitman]

Were they assigned to the security detail? Nope. Yet they chose to arm themselves and insert themselves into a Secret Service chosen security detail? Something you are able to do? Nope. That itself would be enough to get them fired and even investigated and possibly charged. ....and on a day where so many failures in security were made? Plus, having a badge does not mean a person's intentions are always in the good or without political influence.
