Two NYPD officers probed for suspected affiliation with far-right militia Oath Keepers

A pair of NYPD officers are under investigation for suspected ties to the far-right Oath Keepers militia, an anti-government group linked to the Jan. 6 invasion of the U.S. Capitol, the Daily News has learned.

The names of Sgt. Stuart Wohl, who works in Firearms Training, and Officer Aniello Napoli of the department’s Strategic Response Group, appeared in hacked rosters obtained by The News purporting to identify members of the Oath Keepers.

An NYPD official confirmed an Internal Affairs investigation was launched Thursday and the department plans to interview both cops once its probe is complete.

The News visited Napoli’s home Thursday but could not reach him for comment. A phone message left for him was not returned Friday. Wohl referred a reporter to the NYPD’s press office. Unions reps for both cops did not immediately comment.

20? 200? 2000?



It's 55,000 people -- self-selected for authoritarian/sadistic/violent behavior as a career -- you'd be fucking delusional to think only TWO of them are active so-called "oathkeepers"
