The city of Ft. Collins, Colorado recently removed a very highly qualified police chief applicant from their top list of six candidates because the applicant wouldn't selectively enforce the laws of the land.
It seems the applicant, a recently retired and very qualified Chief Criminal Deputy from the Pinal County Sheriff’s Office (PCSO) in central Arizona was in support of protecting our nation from the massive influx of illegal aliens.
Steve Henry, a 55 yrs. old military veteran with over 23 years of law enforcement applied for the position and made it to the final six applicants. He was "dumped" from the list "because he publicly supported an Arizona law (SB1070) that makes it a state crime to be in the U.S. without proper documentation and bans “sanctuary city” policies. The measure also allows local law enforcement officers throughout the state to inquire about suspects’ immigration status."
In other words, Ft. Collins, Colorado summarily dismissed Mr. Henry from the "short list" of candidates simply because he favored the unbiased enforcement of the laws of our nation, our society.
Unbiased enforcement of the laws of our community, our nation, our society is a trait that should be required of any stellar applicant for any law enforcement position in this country in my opinion.
But then again, I'm old school law enforcement. We enforced the laws on the book, not the laws preferred by politicos, special interest groups, criminal organizations and activists.
Yep, we're fighting an internal battle of our life for our country right now.
IMHO
