Everything quoted came after the fact that someone in the room tore into me about I was an attention whore, and everything that I was involved in turned negative instatly.

The appollogy was sincere- take it or leave it.

My friend was in a convience store, the officer had just came from the scene of a shooting. My friend was standing in line waiting to pay and his cell phone went off (was on vibrate). He reached to the inside of his jacket pocket to get it and the officer without warning shot him- thinking he was going for a gun. The officer lost his job and pension but never went to jail. I was wrong to assume that all officers are this way, and I normally do not.

My discharge was of personal matter and I am not going to discuss it here.
