#FOP Lodge 7 transferred my call about this alleged email to longtime union activist Greg Bella, who denied Catanzara sent it. He said Catanzara was with slain officer Ella French's family at the time.

"With them at 2 a.m.?" I asked.

Catanzara jumped on and declined to comment.
After @BLMChi tweeted an image of email allegedly from @FOP7Chicago, @BMLChi uploaded the actual email, including its metadata. I downloaded it and verified what @MatthewVerive found: The email doesn't seem to have originated from the union domain. It looks like a hoax.

The people who stormed the U.S. Capitol are getting support from the president of Chicago’s Fraternal Order of Police lodge. John Catanzara, elected to represent the city’s 12,000 rank-and-file cops, told me last night he understands the frustration. His explanation:
2/13
“There was no arson. There was no burning of anything. There was no looting. There was very little destruction of property. It was a bunch of pissed-off people that feel an election was stolen, somehow, some way.”

“Evidence matters. Until that appears, shame on them for what they did, but it was out of frustration. There’s no fights. There’s no, obviously, violence in this crowd.
