What kind of evil person would do this? She is the system. She is the broken one.  Stand up for what’s right.

I was forced to arrest a man at his job today. All the other workers and his employer saw him getting arrested. He was genuinely shocked that he was being arrested for a probation violation. His employer changed his work hours from evening to morning hours. He was on an ankle monitor so he called his P.O. to let them know, but they never returned his call. He didn’t want to lose his new job, so he reported to work as instructed. We showed up and arrested him for his probation violation. We tried to contact the P.O. a few days ago as well and didnt receive a returned phone call. There aren’t enough POs to handle their caseloads. When I put my cuffs on him, I watched his spirit leave his body. He was broken. He just got this job and he was begining to feel like a man again. His hands were rough and sweaty from hard work. He was angry, but held it inside. With a shaky voice, he told me that he did everything that was asked of him. I tried to console him and tell him that they would work it out. I told him that I would speak to his employer on his behalf if needed. I told him not to do anything stupid to get in trouble because of his frustration. As I put him in the back of a squad car, a single tear fell from his eye. He was broken. The system is broken.
