REMEMBER: As a security officer, your first and primary duty as a security officer is to play the role of scapegoat when things go wrong, despite your many warnings and requests for alterations of policy which might have discouraged any calamity. After all, who are you? Just the grunt in the field, overshadowed by the morons in the ivory tower. You're not paid to think, after all!!!
Richard Jewel, a security guard who was working Olympic Park the day a bomb went off, no doubt saved many lives with his alertness and quick thinking. Nonetheless, as in the Natalee Holloway disappearance where suspicion fell upon two innocent security guards, Mr. Jewel was condemned of the very crime he had risked his own life to avert, incurring much humiliation and economic hardship FOR SIMPLY BEING A GOOD OFFICER. Man, don't we all have similar stories of our own to tell? This brave soldier recently died of kidney failure, a true loss for us all...a testimony to the hardship we each face every day from people who devalue our role in their safety and well being.
He and his mother were virtual prisoners in their own homes, reputations forever tarnished, possessions seized, and lured into situations where some innocent, recorded remark might have sealed their fate, despite Mr. Jewel's innocence. A friend had been coerced by the FBI to wear a wire tap and join Mr. Jewel and his mother for dinner at their home. Mr. Jewel was tricked into participating in what was supposed to have been a training video, actually an insidious effort to get Mr. Jewel to incriminate himself. Now remember here, lawyers typically work only to win cases, NOT TO EXPOSE THE TRUTH, and law enforcement seek only to CONVICT A SUSPECT, AND CLOSE THE BOOK ON THE CASE. Oh, and cover their own a**es in the process. Now to be fair, not all law enforcement personnel are like that. Unfortunately, however, the former seemed to have been the ones who got to Jewel first.
I BELIEVE A BRONZE STATUE OF MR. JEWEL SHOULD BE ERECTED IN OLYMPIC PARK IN HIS MEMORY. IT'S ABOUT TIME A SECURITY OFFICER WAS PUBLICLY HONORED FOR A JOB WELL DONE. IF YOU AGREE WITH ME, PLEASE SOUND OFF!
