In the letter that led to him being investigated, White reported that he was instructed by “my supervisor” to drive to the supervisor’s home.

While there, he said he was ordered to dig a hole and then told to turn his department-issued weapon over to the supervisor, who used it to kill a sick dog that belonged to a family member.

White also reported that he conducted a “trash pull” as part of an investigation and “located a small amount of marijuana.”

“I advised my supervisor of my findings and my supervisor advised me ‘if I was in your shoes I’d get marijuana from the SWAT closet and add it to what you found,’ ” he said in the letter.

“I again was in fear of losing my job and felt obligated to do as instructed by my supervisor,” he added.

Bizarre. What jumped out at me was the part where White was told to dig a sizable hole, then hand over his firearm to his supervisor. Uh, nope, that would have been my personal "Go pound sand, boss" moment.
Quit worrying, hide your gun well, shut up, and CARRY that handgun!

It might also depend on the size of the hole... a pooch-sized hole wouldn't set off as many alarm bells as a minion-sized hole...

My uncle is a patrol sargeant for a local city here, and you'd be suprised how all the rookie cops jump to do all kinds of work for him like landscaping or helping with his side business... Just because he asks them too. The first time I saw it I couldn't believe it.

What did the good people of Mahoning County do when their sheriff got caught taking bribes? Elected him to Congress!

Just to help with understanding here...

There are virtually NO unions in Florida. This includes a majority of the PD's. So when someone says Jump, you ask if you can go get your jet pack first.
