"But yea she should have NEVER filmed her grievance."

I agree. It was a bad decision for her to do that. It only opened her up to criticism, not just from civilians who saw it, but from the department heads. We didn't have cell phones or phones with cameras back then, but we had to comport ourselves at all times, whether on duty or off, in a manner that didn't reflect badly on the department. We even had to get permission from the prison Superintendent if we wanted to have a second job...because it might interfere with our regular duties. We were Peace Officers, 24 hours a day, and had to act accordingly, no matter where we were. We were advised not to wear our uniforms while conducting personal business on our way to work, or on the way home. We were not allowed to speak to any member of the press in uniform without prior approval from the Superintendent, or Albany. If and when we were allowed to speak to any of them, we had to provide a verbal disclaimer that we in no way, were representing the department....that it was our own personal opinion. No gratuities either, not even free coffee or donuts. Nothing.
