How did a “whistleblower” get his name released? This information is supposed to be protected to prevent retaliation.
Something is missing in this story.

[carloswylie]

If the cop thought he did nothing wrong why lie about it on the report.

[billymadisonsshampoo]

If he's asking for whistleblower protection...why r y'all using his name?

[thewrongstuff]

It's especially sad that we have to protect someone for doing the right thing from the very organization that we pay to protect us at large.

[OccupyBlackMedia]

The fact that you devulged the whistleblower's name speaks volumes on your allegiance as media opps... smh

[tonydesilva]

The fact that the officer who turned the other officer in fears for his life should tell you all you need to know about police

[firebirdude]

The cop who turned him in WILL receive retaliation. Years of lack of promotions ahead for that brave man.

[adamhobbes]

I mean he literally got in his face basically challenging him saying “what!”

[ericbrooks]

Why do good cops need protection from other "good cops"?🤔

[maryreed]

That guy just sacrificed his way of life. He is most definitely courageous.

[hughgordon]

Knocked out, yet they still try pinning resisting arrest on him?

[jerrywilliford]

Cop that threw the punch did nothing wrong. Punch recipient was in middle of his assault attempt but cop was faster on the draw. Well done.

[FUYT]

We've investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong! What a shock!

[lafq]

Why does he even need protection? I thought all but “a few bad apples” were good cops 🤷🏽‍♂️

[aswanmcdonald]

We need more cops like the whistle blower. He should be a leader on the force. Hats off to him.

[Lizz]

I salute you officer 👮‍♀️ for your honesty we need more officers like you SR.

[mtw]

WHY SHOULD HE EVEN HAVE TO ASK FOR PROTECTION? SHOULDN'T IT BE A GIVEN? YOU KNOW, THE GOOD 95% THAT EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT.

[roseannekyriazis]

Finally a hero cop. Thank you for being honest. Stay safe.

[PEProductionTeam]

The fact that he is scared now just shows how they are a gang.

This officer needs to be protected at all costs. This is a good police officer he wasn't afraid to tell the truth about his fellow officer who wrongfully assaulted a person. Policeman and women you are not above the law. God bless this man. Like one person on YouTube said if an officer is good is he still good if he watches his partner do something bad and doesn't say anything about it.
