Dekalb Officer Hurt On The Job Fighting The County

The way this county treats us, is just shameful. Why are his medical bills not being paid? Why is he being treated like this? This was clearly an on the job injury.

Maybe some good hearted personal injury lawyer will step up to the plate and defend this officer. It's only the right thing to do.

BECAUSE THE COUNTY KNOWS HOW TO PLAY STUPID, CHILISH GAMES WITH ITS EMPLOYEES LIVES, AND FOR THE SAD PART, DOESN'T CARE.

ALL THE POWERS TO BE ARE ON THEIR PEDASTALS ARE INTERESTED IN IS THEMSELVES AND HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING IN THE POSITIONS THAT THEY ARE.

THE CEO AND HIS CORRUPT CREW ARE THE ONES WHO NEED TO BE KICKED OUT NEXT ELECTION.......ITS THAT SIMPLE

They have no problem paying off employees that have been fired from the CEO's staff for misconduct, but refuse to pay an injured officer's medical bills. OUTRAGEOUS!

There are many issues with Risk Management and the Pension Board about to be challenged in civil court. Punitive damages will be sought from individuals that failed to do the correct thing and hindered these claims. Most if not all were even substantiated by their own county doctors.

Other great examples of potential class action suits for any hungry litigator.

I remember the night Green was damn near killed I was there to see him being ectracated from the car. Hell to be honest I thought he was dead,and this is what the county does.
Now with that being said I also was there when Dave Harvey had his arm blown off and dangling from his elbow off of Timothy Dr by a nut case armed with a world war II rifle.
If not for the fire bubba's from Station 8 being on the scene already he would have either bleed to death or walked over and shot Harvey again and killed him. But thanks to Bob Hollister and Clint Sikes returning fire the nut case was killed.
After a year of surgeries and recovery time the county said "Hey no more OJI for you" it's time to burn your own sick leave. And that was the thanks he received for defending the county citizens from being shot and killed by a crazed gunman.
Remember these are the same citizens who refuse to stand up on our behalfs and raise hell to the corrupt BOC.
So the next time you chase down a bad guy and do your job to protect the citizens of DeKalb, will they stand up for you when in need. Think about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wake up boys and girls remember this when you put your neck on the line for the people who turn their backs on you when you get hurt. They would rather you get killed than pay for your doctors bills. This has historically happened many times in the past to other officers all over this state who have been legitimately hurt on the job. We in public safety need to change the state laws to protect first responders. Remember this citizens of Dekalb, the men that died in 911 in New York ran into those buildings knowing that if they were hurt they would get three quarters of their pay for the rest of their lives or their beneficiaries lives. Do you really think you could get that type of dedication here? The majority of people trapped inside of the trade center buildings were lead out due to the efforts of the cops and fireman that got them out. Remember dedication is a two way street!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Run Forest Run!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sad to have to say it but I too am an injured officer and have the same problems with risk management. Maybe its time for me to call the news people along with all injured county employees. I have been contacted by several collection agencies in reference to my so call past due bills, when the truth is the bills are DeKalb's and not mine according to the law. Oh yea I forgot DeKalb is above all laws. Good luck Officer Green hope we can make it thru this mess. Get Well soon.

Let this be a reminder to all of you.

How many times have you had close calls on the side of the highway?
how many people at your precincts have been: stabbed, broken and scarred?

Talk to some of the older guys. Listen to what they say. Look at their bodies.

I can care less about the men who do this for a paycheck.

I wanted to save the world. I kept my ideology and goddamn mental operation intact.

But there is no hope. The protectors are not protected.We're treated like trash. Theres no reverence. And i can deal with that.

But my god - this is not right. This system screws everyone over. From the perps to the officers. Your not above the system. You are not even a part of the real system. Oh' - You better Believe that.

I don't ask for thanks but it is not right to cheat the righteous. not like this.

Every so often, you'll meet a good man. And you'll know when you look into his eyes and hear the way he speaks. This man is so humble. It breaks my heart to see a protector defiled.

This video right here did it for me.

I'm thankful i made it this far with my mobility and health.


I Quit.

Please remember that there are many more citizens than you know who DO stand up for you - just not always in a forum that is visible to you. Please.

Guess what, all we are going to do about it is bitch on here about it. All we ever do is bitch about it. We need to stand together and start fighting for what we deserve. Its easy for these idiots to make these decisions if they are unopposed.

I also had collection agencies calling me for an an the job injury that the county was supposed to pay for.

When you get hurt, you need to write down the dates, times, and names of people you spoke to when you're having problems. When you start listing off how many times you've called and letting them know it's getting ridiculous, things start happening.

I hope this story coming to light helps you and the officer recently injured on I-20!

Thank you for your service and thank you for having the bravery to stand up and speak out about your inexcusable treatment!

If a perp at the jail was treated like Green, there would be people lined up with signs protesting for weeks!! Where's Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton? I guess only dirtbags get their attention!
