I was a police officer and special operations soldier for a combined 18 years. I had a loving wife, healthy kids, great friends, and perfect home. I was living the American dream. I trained my heart out every day to keep the peace in the community. Sacrificing my life and health to protect America both at home and over seas. Then I got involved in the infamous Breonna Taylor case. I was involved in the riots. I saw my friends getting hurt and maimed. I saw my community in flames. In a single moment I lashed out against a rioter. I was prosecuted and imprisoned and my American dream turned to tragedy for all involved.
