I know what you are going through. Had a job you love, you were good at it and now you don’t know if you are going to be able to feed your family or do the job that you love. Besides the chain of command turning their back, I’m sure your labor union or FOP Lodge have been a big letdown,
My crime was being a drunk and disorderly off duty. Your sin was telling the truth, Unfortunately law enforcement agencies are ran by politicians. You informed the general public. You know the Constitution. You told the world the politicians are dead wrong, Worse yet, you called out these people who want to trample on our rights, but don’t have the guts to go toe to toe. For that I applaud you.
I hope you continue your career with your current agency. If that is not the case, I hope you find an agency that is more tolerant of the Constitution. In the mean time, I encourage you to read a book called Downtown White Police by my friend and retired Bridgeport, CT officer Jim Lancia and check out LT Chuck Wells on Facebook. Both of these men know law enforcement and both are stand up guys like you.
Good luck and God Bless:
