After Reacher star Alan Ritchson made the claim that the police “get away with murder all the time,” the Fraternal Order of Police organization took some time to address the actor’s inflammatory comment, encouraging him to mind his own business.
“While Mr. Ritchson gets his face and forehead powdered on set, our officers are out doing a job he doesn’t have the courage to do,” the organization prefaced. “While he gets to hear loud pops and have blanks fired at him, our officers feel the heat of the bullets as they pierce their skin.”
The statement continued, “There are no take two’s or take three’s in real life Mr. Ritchson. We have people who want to kill us and we play for keeps. Just another useless Hollywood actor, virtue signaling for attention at the expense of brave police officers around this country.”
“Go back to your pampered life and let the heroes handle this,” the FOP’s statement concluded.
On Tuesday, Ritchson would take to social media to respond to the FOP’s social media post, sharing a post on Instagram in which the Reacher actor decried the organization’s comments — labelling their response as “emotionally immature.”

His show is full of violence and murder, it’s bit hypocritical to disparage cops, while producing a show that glorifies murder and mayhem.
BTW, the show is good, it mixes humor within the action.
Like I said, I used to like it.
Wow. Whoda thought that dude was a snowflake?
Hypocrisy is the new Orthodoxy.
As a former MP officer, I like the Reacher books, as ridiculously fantastic as they are, and thought the series was ok. He really should have embraced Mark Twain's advice about allowing people to think you're ignorant rather than opening your mouth and removing all doubt.
I like the show and it is entertaining. All this speaking out and irritating a large chunk of the people who watch it must mean he wants out and to move on to bigger things.
You do that by kissing the arse of the leftist goons who run Hellywood. Now he is one of them.
Darn! He just ruined the Reacher series for me!
I hope Amazon Prime loses lots of money from his stupid opinions.
Jackass!!!
Richardson turned out to be a complete moron.
Why do these so called actors burp up this garbage. Can’t they just keep their opinions to themselves?
Such a disappointment.
I hope the cops wherever he lives have taken note of his address so they can not show up when he calls them.

Sorry, not a quote from BDA.
It was HollywoodAnon
Alan Ritchson can next discuss how Hollywood insiders get away with murder all the time, trafficking and rape too.
I know the one on J6 at the capital did!
He’s not that good an actor and can be very stiff. He found a role that fits him perfect and the books adapt well to an action series. But he wouldn’t be the first actor to leave a successful series only to fizzle out .
Dude is bipolar. Must be in a manic phase.
