It’s happening again. A silly, self aggrandizing 2-bit politician makes hideous statements about a police officer and gets sued in the process. Oh great.
Wapato, WA officer Michael Campos was involved in a fatal OIS in the town of Wapato. A domestic disturbance that went sideways …in a big hurry. Officer Campos shot and killed the attacker. A review by the Prosecuting Attorney and the WA Attorney General’s office ruled the shooting to be justified. OK, back on the street. Not so fast.
Mayor Tony “dumbass” Guzman said, in a FB post, “What a piece of shit…He deserves to die in prison…it’s people like you that give Latinos a bad name…You are a disgrace to the PD…never show your face in Wapato again, and take the Chief with you.” Strong and undeserved words from a “no nothing” who doesn’t realize the baggage this officer will carry for the rest of his life.
The mayor and the police department may disagree, as is the case with many departments but to take to FB and demean this officer is totally out of bounds.
Accordingly, officer Campos contacted a “police friendly” attorney and is in the process of suing the city for defamation and creating a hostile work environment.
Guess all the goofy politicians don’t govern from Washing DC.
