Actor Alan Ritchson fired back after the National Fraternal Order of Police responded to the incident. Reacher Starr insulted police officers everywhere, claiming he “always gets away with murder.”
The 41-year-old actor initially lashed out, saying: interview and Hollywood Reporter.
“Police get away with murder all the time, but the fact that we can’t actually hold them accountable for their wrongdoings worries me,” the actor said.
Ritchson has previously insulted Christians who support former President Donald Trump.
“Trump is a rapist and a fraud, but the entire Christian church seems to be treating him like their poster child, and that’s unrealistic,” he said. “I do not understand.”
As Breitbart News reporter David NG pointed out, police unions responded quickly and made it abundantly clear that they would not tolerate such disrespect.
Fraternal Order leaders said that while real police officers risked their lives every day, the “spoiled” Ritchson was only pretending to be dangerous and “had powder on his face and forehead on set.” “I’m painting it,” he happily pointed out.

This brought Ritchson back into the fray, declaring on social media, “This emotionally immature response is the epitome of what concerns me about law enforcement today.” If this is how leadership deals with peaceful dissent, what does life with invisible exchanges look like on the streets?
“How does this shape the character of police officers who look to management?
“Do you really want people who are so easily angered and bullies like elementary school kids to have guns and protect untouchable unions?” “No way.”
He went on to tout his “courage” in attacking police.
The National Fraternal Order of Police is the nation’s oldest and largest law enforcement labor organization.
There are an estimated 350,000+ police officers across the country, all dedicated to protecting the public.
