A former Virginia police officer who testified against a friend and former supervisor he joined at the Capitol in the Jan. 6 insurrection avoided prison time on Tuesday for his role in it.

Former Rocky Mount Police Officer Jacob Fracker pleaded guilty to conspiring with his fellow officer to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Biden’s 2020 election victory over then-President Donald Trump and was sentenced to one year of probation, with 59 days in home confinement.

SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL That's just wrong on any level. Selling out your "friend" to save your own neck. Total Bull$hit in my book. Some friend.

Cpl Vic Burk It's pretty common for people who commit criminal wrongdoing to testify against their fellow criminals. They do it for a variety of reasons. It's also common that they receive leniency when they do so.

SPC Kevin Ford - I know that but it's still bull$hit. They did the crime and should pay just like the person they are testifying against. In my book that's not a reason for leniency. My opinion for what it is or isn't worth.

MCPO Roger Collins - I know they do. I just don't agree with it. With friends like this who the hell needs enemies. When that dude finishes his sentence the turncoat may have a visitor at his door! Just saying.

So , what the report is saying is both he and his friend/buddy whom are both LEO, decided to protest and riot the State Capital together. But after being caught and arrested one of the LEO' gave up info to save his own ASS,So to avoid jail time.Right. What a piece of sh..!!!! He broke the law himself and he should have done time like everyone else. Gut-LESS..........

PS Does it make me a bad person to invite him over to the local VFW for a beer and to let everyone know in the building who he is?

Maj. Oyler, your commits about Blue falcon is true and on point. I would have given you 100 points for that but I can only vote once., because I'am not a democrat. Also, a little disappointed for the low votes on this posting because A law enforcement officer broke the law himself and then gave up his Leo buddy to save his own ASS. This ex-Leo not only betrayed his oath, but his country, his city, and the badge in which he wore. And lets us not forget, He squealed to save himself. Hope when he looks in the mirror he'll think about cutting his own throat for betraying what he swore to protect. Thank you Sir!!

GySgt Jack Wallace - I have a wife and two young kids I am the primary support for and I thought about them as I made that comment. Cover my ass to stay home for the family and let a friend hang out to dry or stand beside my bad decision and take the fall with the friend. Every time I come back to this, I could not be a blue falcon, I could not teach my son to be a blue falcon. You kids watch you every moment they are with you and that is something I would be leaving to them that I cannot see myself doing. I must admit I understand the Constitution well and that the President was elected by the states, and that nothing 6 JAN was going to change that outcome. These people are going to jail for nothing and the chances I would get myself into this situation on this day is absolutely zero.
