I didn't know you could be fired for "personal views that were contrary..."
From newser.com: Cops Fired For Opposing War On Drugs
The whole concept of Loyal Opposition seems lost in this country. It's more than just possible for a guy to be against The Policy you've told him to implement, AND be able to execute the plan as if was his own. It happens every day in every organization you can name. In this case, it's the people wearing the badges - the ones who're at the broken end of the bottle every day - who know the most about how The Policy translates out in the real world. We need to be listening to them very closely - not firing them for telling us the truth.
And one other minor point: Something you really DON'T want in an organization that's armed to the teeth and authorized to use deadly force, is a bunch of gung-ho gonzo goons runnin' around lookin' for an excuse to go off on somebody.
