The officer would let Tarrio know the location of \u201ccounter protesters,\u201d seemingly Antifa, in an effort to \u201cavoid conflict.\u201d The Post reported:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>Tarrio, reached by phone, described his contacts with Lamond as professional. He said he provided Lamond or other police officials advance notice when the Proud Boys planned to rally or march in the District.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>But Tarrio also said that during marches, Lamond would tell him the location of counterdemonstrators. Tarrio said that was so his group could avoid conflict, though after one violent night of demonstrations, police accused the Proud Boys of roaming the city looking for and instigating fights, targeting people they believed identified as antifa, or antifascists.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\" data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">\u201cHe [Lamond] was just a liaison officer for when we held rallies,\u201d Tarrio said. The report noted that Tarrio \u201cdenied their relationship extended beyond that and said he is not a confidential informant for anyone on the D.C. police force.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\">\n<p class=\"font-copy font--article-body gray-darkest ma-0 pb-md\" data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">\u201cThey\u2019re just trying to get anybody at this point,\u201d Tarrio added, speaking of those investigating Lamond. \u201cI only told him, \u2018We\u2019re coming into town and we\u2019re going to hold this protest.\u2019 That\u2019s as far as the relationship went.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-qa=\"drop-cap-letter\" data-el=\"text\">A fundraiser has been started by Brooke Lamond, wife of the suspended officer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDC Police Officer Shane Lamond, a 22 year veteran of the DC Metropolitan Police Department, has wrongfully been been placed on administrative leave pending a criminal investigation,\u201d the <a href=\"https:\/\/givesendgo.com\/G2RQA\">GiveSendGo<\/a> fundraiser reads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhy, you ask? The answer is quite simple, for doing his job,\u201d it bluntly states.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey are accusing him of keeping the PEACE, by keeping conflicting parties separate from one another to avoid any violence and to keep the community safe, all while allowing citizens to safely exercise their First Amendment rights,\u201d the fundraiser continues.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOfficer Lamond is a father of 3 and a husband before he is a cop,\u201d Brooke says. \u201cI and his children, are watching a man who has dedicated the last 22 years of his life to protecting our nation\u2019s Capital, as well as our family, and he has done so with nothing but integrity and grace. Only to watch him fight for the career and reputation he has spent the last 22 years of his life building.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am here asking for your help in any way possible,\u201d she closes the post. \u201cWe are going to need all the prayers and help we can get.
