Police who responded to the Nashville-bomb, repeating the fact that law enforcement is fully funded, “the Congressman Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., Said on Monday.
“It’s interesting to me that Nashville is really the center of vigilance in this state when it comes to unmasking our police and a lot of the protests against our police were there,” Burchett told Fox & Friends.
Burchett praised the ‘four excellent examples’ of police officers who responded to the impending explosion by warning residents in the area to evacuate the area.
‘But, the police knew there was going to be an explosion, and then they literally went to the doors of about 57 families who could have lost their lives, and because of their heroism no lives were lost. I think it repeats what every law enforcement man or woman does every day when they wear the badge. They know they can risk their lives. ‘
ANTHONY QUINN WARNER: WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE NASHVILLE BOMBING SUSPECTED
Federal authorities on Sunday identified the suspect in the Nashville bomb blast at Christmas as Anthony Quinn Warner.
Investigators said they used DNA to identify human remains found at the scene as those of 63-year-old Warner. The FBI said they also linked the vehicle’s RV identification number to a registration belonging to Warner.
Warner is believed to have acted alone, but authorities need to determine another motive. He was not aware of the law enforcement before the Christmas explosion.

The blast rocked the early Christmas morning in Nashville, before the streets bustled downtown. Before the explosion, a recorded announcement warned someone in the area that a bomb would explode soon.
Sources say Warner was a computer consultant who worked as an independent contractor at Fridrich & Clark Realty, a real estate company in Nashville.
Fridrich and Clark’s president, Steve Fridrich, told Fox News that Warner was never an employee at the company, but sometimes serviced his computers. Fridrich said Warner announced his retirement earlier this month and has had no further contact with the company since.
