The cop, now with Seattle Police, then drove her all the way up and planted marijuana in her patrol car.
Harris says she was driving a minivan, but in this situation, the police didn't even give her a warning when she left police headquarters. The officer then took her into custody, and then on the way to prison, Harris said, had her put a gun down on top of her. On the way back up to prison a friend of hers came to tell her about the incident, and after hearing his story, she wanted to know how she could have been put on trial if she cooperated with the officer who was looking into an open case.
While Harris had no legal defense, a trial for this would likely mean losing her job.
"I would literally have to sell my career [as an officer] to get a job," she says, now with the Police Executive Research Institute, or SIPRI, a nonprofit organization dedicated to exposing systemic corruption in New York State Police. Harris says she's taken a year off from patrol, so she can do her job better until this year.
Hearing the "I want your attention" sign about the crime and her experience, Harris says she didn't realize how important it is for people to know about what the truth is.
"My work ethic, my faith is all about getting out and to have people like me in the community who are engaged and who are doing things that aren't in this situation, it gives me the courage to speak my mind," she says.
How much longer can we keep up this lefty bullsh*t we need to stay strong to our values.
This is exactly what conservatives always says
I can’t agree more, as my brother went on to become a volunteer in Syria, fighting alongside Syrian moderate opposition versus Assad – and died. All because US did not stop Assad in 2011-2012.
