Five deputies were hospitalized with various injuries, including concussions, broken bones, and torn muscles, after a wooden deck collapsed when U.S. Marshals surrounded the Missouri home of a convicted child pedophile.
Not surprisingly, anti-police, pro-criminal liberals gleefully cheered the incident on social media, spotlighting their warped, inverted values.
The debacle unfolded on July 21, when four deputy U.S. Marshals and five deputies with the Randolph County Sheriff’s Office swarmed the second-floor deck of child pornographer Jacob Alexander Munoz’s home, the New York Post reported.
Harrowing bodycam video captured the frightening moment when the elevated deck gave way as the task force waited to serve a warrant on Munoz.
The officers tumbled to the ground, with some falling on top of each other.

Do you think law enforcement officers generally deserve the public’s respect?
Of the nine deputies who fell, five were hospitalized, the U.S. Marshals Service said. They’re expected to make full recoveries.
Munoz, 26, was taken into custody later that day.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol Sex Offender Registry lists Jacob Alexander Munoz as a Tier 1 sex offender.
He was most recently charged with possession of child pornography involving more than 20 images or one film or video, Fox News reported.
His crime involved a girl between the ages of 9 and 13.
Munoz was convicted of possession of child pornography in 2022.
Instead of applauding law enforcement for protecting the public, left-wing lunatics on social media were thrilled the deputies got hurt.

By now, the public is used to warped leftists rooting for criminals over the police.
But would they be as cheery if their own daughter or son had been the victim? It really makes you wonder.
You don’t have to be a fan of law enforcement, but to root for criminals over police officers who are doing their jobs underscores the deranged mindset of today’s soulless political left.
