He found out he'd been drinking and he was on cocaine. But they were upset with me because he split his head wide open. I'm like, he's alive. What do you mean? And that was like a big ordeal. That was a big ordeal. Like, oh, they're going to sue us. I'm like, for what?

They don't know the answer. The problem with agencies... is shitty leadership. Shitty leadership. Because in their mind, we had this guy named James Nolet. Man, he ended up being our assistant chief. He ran everybody away. He was horrible. Probably, in my opinion, maybe the worst human on the face of the earth. He was a horrible person. Not just a bad leader, but a horrible person.

Man, this dude would punish people because he thought by punishing people, it made him a good leader and that he would get promoted. This dude made it all the way up to assistant chief. He's the reason why I left. I mean, officers are doing their job and they're getting written up for it. I ended up not caring about getting written up because at that point I'd applied and got my VA disability.

You want to give me a week off? I'll take a vacation and post it all over Facebook. I don't care. I'm getting paid. But imagine some of these guys who are a father of three and a wife, they're making $1,100 a paycheck, and they're getting talked about getting two days off. Why would you be proactive?

So now I got to feed a family of four on a $700 check because you gave me two hours off or you gave me two days off. So why would you be proactive? Yeah. I can't blame them. We have to hold leadership accountable.

They're like, yeah, sorry, they steal everything. I'm like, that's crazy. But the problem is, is if they get a use of force with these people, they're going to get in trouble by the chain of command because the chain of command says, well, that's not a heel that we don't want to dial on. You know, just let them take it and we'll take the report. That's not right. That's not right.
