Two Virginia Cops Get Canned After Taking Selfie During Capitol Siege
Two police officers charged in the U.S. Capitol Siege of Jan. 6 have been fired. The Rocky Mount, Va. Police Department has “terminated” K9 unit officer Jacob Fracker, 29, and his his platoon sergeant, Thomas Robertson, 47.
“We hear those who have communicated their anger and frustration about the actions of these individuals or our response to those actions,” the Town of Rocky Mount said in a statement. “There is no playbook for dealing with what occurred on January 6. We have treated the process of review seriously from the beginning and thank those who contributed and in coordinating a response in a quick, objective and lawful manner.”
Supporters of then-President Donald Trump raided the Capitol Complex after he continued to lie that he won the 2020 presidential election and to claim it was being stolen from him. Rioters postponed, but did not prevent, Congress from counting electoral college votes that gave current President Joe Biden the victory. Four Trump supporters and one Capitol Police officer died in the chaos. Another Capitol office died by suicide mere days later, as did a defendant.
Fracker and Robertson were there; the picture above, in which they pose in front of a statue of Revolutionary War Major General John Stark, puts them at the scene. The defendants’ employment status was up in the air for a while; they were suspended without pay on Friday.

Sad thing is they'll probably be hired by some other podunk police department.
