That kinda nails it. His own reported him. Since reporting him would be very unlikely in the brotherhood, he might have done/said other things to make them report him.

Perhaps I’m completely misinterpreting it, but I hope you did not write the above to imply that the officer somehow “deserved it” because of something he had done or said. I’ve noticed more and more in recent years occasions where people assume that the victim of a crime or unjustified action was somehow at least partially responsible for bringing it on him or herself.
The following is extracted from the linked article: “In the video, King said he and the Trayvon Martin family were being used as pawns to further political agendas in the police department.”
So if he was reported because “he might have done/said other things to make them report him”, perhaps those things were actually “good” things that others in the force or local government felt somehow “threatened” them or something in which they were engaged. There ARE dirty cops and corrupt local government officials abroad in the land—and they don’t like folks who appear to be incorruptible to get too close to them or their operations.
In any case, I hope he appeals or otherwise pursues this in court—something smells rotten about this whole thing.
