Opinions on Fanone

[NC Marine]

Curious about others opinion on this man. Michael Fanone, who was the MPD Officer injured on 1/6 . My opinion is that he certainly saw an opportunity for 15 minutes of fame and ran all the way to the bank. He is now an “LEO analyst” on CNN. I can’t say I blame him for seizing his opportunity, but I don’t see how he is anymore an expert or analyst than anyone regular patrol officer?

Former Portland Police Bureau Captain C.W. Jensen, who commanded the Internal Affairs Division before leaving law enforcement, was one of those TV celebrity ex-cops.

He was fired for a pattern of stealing and lying, after milking every last worker's comp dollar he could, for amnesia, athlete's foot, a sprained vagina, or something like that.

I knew Jensen. He dyed his hair, wore make-up, and I wouldn't be surprised if he wore a girdle.

Jensen was buddies with another make-up wearing celebrity ex-cop with blow-dried hair from the area, "Sheriff" John Bunnell, who was NEVER elected Sheriff- when the previous sheriff retired before the next election, Bunnell served as a place-holder until the election. Bunnell ran for sheriff in that election, but lost, and left law enforcement right after.

Hate him and his BS “viewpoints “ and “knowledge “.

Bunnel is a hack who couldn’t investigate a theft of a lollipop.

I used to be a member of a hunting and fishing club with three ranges behind the clubhouse. On occasion, the club would rent one of the ranges for private instructors to put on a tactics class, like combat carbine or cover and concealment drills. You know, charge $300 for a day of police training to people without a LE background.

One of the instructors is fairly well-known in training circles, a larger-than-life personality who talks a big game about being in the hooch several times as bullets and teeth were flying. I've seen his mug on the cover of gun magazines and local television stations often refer to him for 'expert analysis' on news stories about personal defense and firearms training.

I got talking with him once and asked a few questions about his background. He was guarded about his professional history but eventually revealed he spent 10 ten years working in a county jail before starting a firearms training business. That was the extent of his 'real world' expertise in law enforcement.

So whenever I see a 'police expert' on tv, I take them with a grain of salt....

I don't know much about Fanone, other than he has a royal flush on a spiderweb tatted on his neck. So evidently poker addiction is something in his background, in addition to his time in LE.
