Father and son police officers charged with joining Proud Boys at Capitol riot

Federal authorities have charged a father and son duo, both of whom served as police officers, with allegedly being among the people who joined Proud Boys members in storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.

According to a superseding indictment unsealed Friday, authorities have charged 51-year-old Kevin Tuck and his son, 29-year-old Nathaniel Tuck, with multiple crimes, including obstruction of an official proceeding and disorderly and disruptive conduct.

The two were arrested in Tampa, Fla., and were released on a $25,000 bond Thursday, The Washington Post reported.

The Tucks were included in the indictment along with Edward George Jr., who was scheduled to appear in federal court Friday in Raleigh, N.C., as well as previously charged Orlando-area men Arthur Jackman and Paul Rae.

George was also charged with allegedly assaulting a police officer and stealing government property, and along with Kevin Tuck was charged with entering the Senate chamber.

Both George and Nathaniel Tuck were charged with engaging in civil disorder, according to the indictment.

The FBI had previously identified Rae and Jackman, who is married to an Orange County, Fla., sheriff's deputy, in a photograph standing outside the Capitol along with a group of men that included alleged Proud Boys members, such as Florida organizer Joe Biggs.

It was not immediately clear from the indictment what relationship, if any, the Tucks or George had with Jackman and Rae.

Federal authorities have so far charged at least 37 members or associates of the Proud Boys, a far-right group, in connection with violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 as pro-Trump supporters gathered to protest President Biden's election win.

David Ogden, the chief of police for the Windermere Police Department located near Orlando, said in a press release Friday that Kevin Tuck had been an officer with the force since 2019 after working for police in the city of Longwood.

The chief said that a fellow police officer raised concerns that Kevin Tuck participated in the riot at the Capitol, and that he was eventually contacted by the FBI regarding an arrest warrant.

Ogden said that Kevin Tuck has since resigned from the department, effective immediately.

"The Windermere Police Department (WPD) has worked tirelessly over the past eight years to build a reputation of serving with Honor, Integrity and Service to our residents and this arrest doesn't reflect on the hard work of the men and women of [the department]."

Apopka, Fla., police told the Post that they had employed Nathaniel Tuck as a full-time officer from March 2018 to August 2020 and are cooperating with the FBI's investigation.

Federal authorities have so far charged at least 37 members or associates of the Proud Boys, a far-right group, (In complete control of the FBI to set up idiots ) in connection with violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 as pro-Trump supporters gathered to protest President Biden's election win.

Anyone who is unaware of such, probably also believes that 'lockdowns are helpful', masks are effective, and vaxxes are the best thing ever.

AA has repeatedly made such points with actual evidence that Proud Boys is run by a well paid FBI informant (as I recall.) See, e.g., [Link]

Rowan Cocoan That phrasing reminded me of Levon Helm's character in Mark W's film: "Shooter."

Q: Suppose I was looking for a man to make a 2,200-yard cold-bore shot. Who's alive that could do that?

A(Helm): Seems I heard about a shot like that being made not too long ago. Said the guy's name was Bob Lee Swagger. Never met the man, so I wouldn't know him.

Q: Yeah, they said that, all right.

A: They also said that artificial sweeteners were safe, and WMDs were in Iraq, and Anna Nicole married for love!

Would've been a bad job to take, though.

Q: How come?

A: Whoever took that shot's probably dead now. That's how a conspiracy works.

Them boys on the grassy knoll, they were dead within three hours. Buried in the damn desert. Unmarked graves out past Terlingua.

Q: And you know this for a fact?

A: Still got the shovel.

A good movie to see if you never have. [Link]

“ Federal authorities have so far charged at least 37 members or associates of the Proud Boys, a far-right group, in connection with violence at the Capitol on Jan. 6 as pro-Trump supporters gathered to protest President Biden's election win”

Actually, I believe they were there to protest Biden’s theft of the election. Language matters.

Deni · 2021-07-19T23:59:57Z

InfoWithJo Since last summer I have noticed before the election was stolen that every-time there was a rally or a gathering that was pro trump, they had riot police present and acted as if they were terrorist( a lot of the people were grandparents, regular folk with their kids and a few bikers that looked harmless with their flags. I have seen proud boys as well and none were violent. They were simply afraid that the majority spoke for themselves and they could not have that, so they created scenarios and narratives to make people who want and demand change look like the enemy. I pray for the officers mentioned above to survive and escape this menace.

Deni I went to a couple of Trump rallies. I didn’t see riot police at either one. Maybe that happens in some states but not others?

I did go to one in Charlotte NC in January 2020, where the event staff of the city made it quite inconvenient for attendees. They had massive turnstiles set up, which were necessary, but you had to walk through every one of them from the start, before they even got close to being full. They should have allowed for the cut through until each one filled. It was ridiculous! Also, they put a portajohn 30 feet from the beginning of the turnstile and then barred anyone from getting to it. The crowd forced an opening so that we could use it (we were standing there for at least 8 hours). The staff came and closed it back up. So we argued until they let us keep it open. A true case of stupidity!

And then the Bojangles that was less than a mile from the arena, locked their doors and put up a sign refusing service to Trump supporters. The irony... we were at ‘The Bojangles Arena’.

InfoWithJo Cool story ! I live in a blue state and in the city when people see a handful gathered with Trump supporter flags or just flags dressed in red white and blue, they freak out and call police. Where I was, was North of Seattle and I was meeting with a friend during last summer; it was in a grocery store plaza and police surrounded the place because a few proud boys showed up. I never even knew of them until then; they all seemed perfectly peaceful, with signs mainly against lock-downs, masks and pro Trump flags. When the BLM people ravaged Seattle, it seemed no one cared.. at least this is my observation. Something does not add up and I have been on both sides of the isle, now I'm a bit more cautious in what I believe and that is why I'm here. I think our best bet after last year, is to be independent and for now protecting ourselves from the Medical Mafia that took over our world.

InfoWithJo · 2021-07-22T21:33:15Z

Deni Yes, I completely agree that we need not jump on any politician’s band wagon. I understood about the fallacy of believing there were two parties, until just before I went to that rally. I let myself have hope that Team Trump was somehow going to make a difference because he did seem to be turning things around.

I dumped that hope watching him bring in warp speed, allowing the riots, not firing a bunch of people, not forcing treatments for covid instead of just hinting that they were out there. I don’t know how much power he really had, or if his family’s lives were threatened or what. But there at the end, all of the ‘Heros’ just became ‘Zeros’. And all of us conservatives were identified as being a big problem.

I’m still trying to figure out what the hell it was all about. I’ve settled mostly on it being the goal to get the country as divided as possible. I think they’d like nothing better than a big brouhaha to bring in the UN and martial law. They underestimated the ‘silence’ of the silent majority.

Now I’m trying to figure out how to position myself and family to ride out the storm without getting in bed with the evil ones.

InfoWithJo & D & SOTTfolk generally:

For good or for bad, I awakened to this BS back by the end of the General Partin investigation on how OKC 4/95 could NOT have happened as claimed. I remember feeling ashamed (I still kind of do) regarding the fact that I did not realize refused to let myself believe that 9/11/2001 was a scam until 10/25/2001 when I read an article, Muslims Suspend The Laws Of Physics, which I was stoked to find was still online. [Link]
The narratives we are raised with are usually invisible to us, until one hears a bell that cannot be unrung AND pays attention to it.

As I've noted elsewhere recently, the best way to catch up on the shit that they slid by us are the articles at the top of WRH [Link] and also Dave McGowan's CIA. [Link]

Rowan Cocoan I know, I was one to completely refuse the 9/11 theories and how we had ll been duped and I am still sensitive to the fact that a lot of people died regardless of how and why. I can't disregard an event that took place even if now I know how it happened and why but I feel that loss of life took place regardless and It still upsets me. Like everyone, I remember vividly where I was and what I was doing at the time and the shock we all experienced for long after. Now with Covid, it put so much more into perspective and the anger has amplified and my eyes were opened, so late but better than never. The pain that our society goes thru is heavy and sadly I know it's not over yet..On a brighter note, I'm glad that there are people like you and SOTTies here where we can know that we are of one mind.

Rowan Cocoan I still have not gone back and looked at the OK bombing stuff, but even as I watched the towers fall on 9/11 and felt the horror of those people dying, my mind clicked in and I knew that what I was seeing was ‘off’. And then, when I saw the footage and heard the recordings of building 7 and ‘pulling it’, and then learned the financial/ownership/insurance facts, and then the stuff about the security work that had taken place - yeah... whatever you say, Assface! That’s when I lost my innocence.

All this drama ends when the current election cycle ends and the other side wins majority. All 1/6 detainees will be freed.

Then we will have new drama.

Deni · 2021-07-22T21:18:02Z

nor After discovering how rigged the election was, I don't know why anyone would want to vote again; this was war on the people, our constitution and our freedoms.

Ragnar · 2021-07-21T00:15:19Z

This stupidity needs to stop. Especially putting people in prison for being among the group the cops LET INTO the building! I mean, come on. The cops should be going to prison if anyone does. And the proud boys? Wtf? Who cares? Unless the do something illegal, it shouldn't be a concern.

Ragnar I know, they look for scapegoats to destroy the hope and narrative but it has the opposite effect. Joke's on them in the end.
