I’m a retired Law Enforcement Officer who personally knows Ray. Ray has a heart of gold and would do anything for anyone that needed something. He was in good standing with his department until he was falsely accused of these accusations. He inspired teenage juvenile delinquents to turn their lives around. It bothers me to know that there are corrupt cops out there that intentionally set up good officers for their own personal gain. It bothers me even more that other officers that know that Police corruption is going on and look the other way because their worried about repercussions from other officers and their departments. It sickens me that Police corruption like this goes on across the United States. My advice to any officer coming on today is do what’s ethically right on the street. Your integrity is everything. If someone is doing something criminally wrong, you as an officer of the law have an obligation to turn these criminals behind the badge in. There are people in life that are leaders and there are people in life that are followers. Ray is a leader. He stood up knowing that there were going to be repercussions for whistleblowing on these scum bags. There’s not too many people in life that could have handled the mental and physical abuse that Ray and his family suffered. This man deserves to be reinstated and these dirty cops need to be criminally charged and convicted. His story needs to go viral so this type of criminal behavior can be stopped. This story should be heard at every Police Academy across the country. If we don’t do something to stop it, it will only get worse. ~Weed out dirty cops~ If we want Policing to be better it has to be done!!!!

It still breaks my heart and makes me tear up to remember that day. My father is the kindest most compassionate person who ever lived. He and my mother taught me that bei g kind and compassionate is THE most important thing in life. A lot of parents say "you have to be successful, you have to make a lot of money, you need to get a college degree." But mine taught me that kindness and love is the most important trait, and god bless them for that. Thanks mom and dad!!!

FOP didn't help, my Masonic brothers didn't help, and found out who my friends really were. Crazy. My 9 year battle is finally ending.

You are exactly what America needs more than any other time in our history. We need men, who like yourself, stand up for what is wrong no matter what race, gender, religion, political affiliation….etc We need men who when they see something going down that is unethical they report it, document it, and follow up on the resolution of it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for being one of the few good guys that are left. You stand tall and proud & be the humble American man you are. Don’t ever change and don’t settle for something less than what is right. I wish you would go speak to high schools around America because there are a lot of teenagers who could learn a thing or 80 from you.

This is testament that being a good natured person is the most difficult path in life. People took advantage of him at every turn, perceiving him as an easy mark because of his kindness. His life would have been much easier had he turned cold and hateful, but he made it through with his nature intact; truly commendable. I would say less than 1% of people make it through this path unscathed and unchanged.

It’s only a mirage that his life would’ve been easier if he’d been the evil, violent person that his environment wanted him to be - he’d likely be dead, disabled or on death row right now had he done that. He’s a modern day Job from the Bible.

@@WideAwakeHuman You are perceiving those things as easier than what he's been through, where as I am not. It would have been the path of least resistance to turn to violence, take his own life or enact his rage upon someone else; it would have also been the easy path to condemn all police as his father did, but he chose forgiveness - thats a difficult thing in itself that not many people are capable of. To struggle on and survive with himself intact is the hardest thing he could have done. In that sense, his life would have indeed been easier, had he changed his nature. I'm not saying it would have been as long of a life or a better one, just one with less struggle and requiring less perseverance

If they can't beat your conscience out of you they'll psychologically torture you, and if they can't do that they'll ruin your life. That's why so few cops speak up about corruption, nobody wants to be the next Frank Serpico because they have to go through hell and they come out the other side destroyed. Even Teddy Roosevelt couldn't fix the NYPD, they chewed him up and spat him out. The only silver lining is that the system is better than it used to be.

Most of the "sheeple"and "ignorant"ones, always assume that cops always do the right thing,like they are morally correct 💯 percent of the time,when in actual fact,they are just as subseptable to lying,cheating and stealing,just as you and I are. If anyone has reason to distrust the police,it's the African American peoples. I'm Caucasian,and from Vancouver Canada,and I'm not gonna say I can begin to fully understand what it's truly like in your country regarding racism,but I was on the street,and encountered so much police corruption from theft, racism, assaults,and less concern over what they deemed as, crimes that didn't need solving. They didn't even look into the 30+ missing women from the downtown Eastside,until more women had gone missing,and a serial killer was finally revealed. The running joke in Vancouver is,"who's the biggest gang in town"...the V.P.D. Take care,and peace to you and your family.🙏
