Trump Pardons 2 DC Cops

(Patriot.Buzz) – President Donald Trump decided to pardon two former Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers convicted in the death of Karon Hylton-Brown.

The pardons granted to Andrew Zabavsky and Terence Sutton Jr. highlight the stark contrast between Trump’s law-and-order approach and the Democrats’ soft-on-crime policies that have emboldened criminals and endangered our streets.

These officers, who risked their lives daily to keep Washington safe, found themselves victims of a justice system hijacked by anti-police sentiment.

The incident in question occurred in 2020 when Hylton-Brown, riding a moped without a helmet, led officers on a high-speed chase.

Tragically, Hylton-Brown was struck by a vehicle during the pursuit, resulting in his death two days later.

While any loss of life is regrettable, it is crucial to remember that the officers were simply doing their job – pursuing a suspect who was breaking the law.

The prosecution’s decision to charge these officers with conspiracy and obstruction of justice smacks of political motivation rather than a pursuit of true justice.

It is a testament to the current climate where law enforcement officers are presumed guilty before proven innocent, especially when race becomes a factor in high-profile cases.

“I just approved it,” Trump stated, referring to the pardons. He added, “They arrested the two officers to put them in jail for going after a criminal.”

These words underscore Trump’s understanding of the challenges faced by law enforcement and his commitment to standing by those who protect American citizens.

The DC Police Union’s support for the pardons further validates Trump’s decision.

Their assertion that the officers were wrongly convicted and prosecuted echoes the frustrations of law enforcement agencies nationwide, who feel increasingly under siege by liberal policies and media bias.

While critics may argue that the chase violated department policy, it is essential to consider the split-second decisions officers must make in the heat of the moment.

The relentless scrutiny and second-guessing of their actions only impede their ability to combat crime and protect law-abiding citizens effectively.

The Executive Grant of Clemency issued by President Trump frees these officers from unjust punishment.

As America grapples with rising crime rates and increasingly brazen criminal behavior, Trump’s pardons serve as a beacon of hope for those on the front lines of public safety.
