MYNorthwest ^

Port of Seattle Police Officer and Special Forces Veteran Greg Anderson made an inspirational video reminding police officers they do not have unlimited powers.

“I have seen officers around the country enforcing tyrannical orders; I was hoping it was a minority of officers, anymore, I am not so sure …” began Officer Anderson’s video. “We do not get to violate someone’s Constitutional Rights …”

Officer Anderson is now on administrative leave, meaning, he will probably be fired. There is a GoFundMe to support Officer Anderson’s retention of a lawyer, you can give money right here.

So, what’s the reason they give for wanting to fire him?

The reason is he lives in Seattle, not America

Like California, Washington has effectively seceded from the Union

Probably for doing on duty in his patrol car. Only in professional sports are employees allowed to express personal opinions while representing their employers.

‘what’s the reason they give for wanting to fire him?’

“In a Time of Universal Deceit — Telling the Truth Is a Revolutionary Act”

(usually attributed to Orwell, but origin unknown)

I wonder why anyone would think he has “freedom of speech” in Seattle.

This has nothing to do with this situation and I’m just throwing it out there for general knowledge.

Port of Seattle jobs are the cream of the crop. Their employees are well paid and trained. The Port gets the bulk of their funds from owning SEATAC airport.

Just donated to his GoFundMe account. A worthwhile cause for a guy standing up for our Constitution.

His GoFundMe fund had a goal of $50,000. It’s now over $202,000.

It would have been less of a CLM if he hadn't done it in uniform and not inside is patrol car.

Speaking truth to power, so to speak...

The guy is right on. Good to see that kind of attitude towards protecting and serving. Big loss for the policing community that they let him go. Hoping this is not the end of the story and maybe it will work out for the better.

I was hoping it was a minority of officers,

Unfortunately this officer is the distinct minority.
