The earlier version of this essay inaccurately reported that Heath died in 2012, rather than 2013. I'm sorry about that error, which has been corrected. Thank you for pointing it out.

Heath died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head on October 8, 2012 ........?????

Following her termination, Heath found an honest job with a delivery company, took care of her daughter, and invested her hope in the prospect of vindication through her lawsuit against the city. That hope was demolished in May 2013, when U.S. District Judge Philip S. Gutierrez dismissed the suit. Heath's despair grew in crescendo for several months, culminating with her suicide on October 8 of that year – the day before a conference that had been scheduled to discuss a settlement with the city. On September 28 of this year, a $30 million lawsuit was filed on behalf of Heath's children.?????

Didn't anyone else note this contradiction posted in the article????

Something stinks about this whole incident.

How about this? We become the place Andrea can go for support? By we I mean civis.

Let the ones that try to do the right thing know we have their back. And I am in the camp that thinks cops I'm general are the standing army the US founders warned us against.

Something isn't right here, not even a little bit. How did a citizen policeman who was facing federal felony charges keep his job and a gun. Citizens who have been charged with a felony lose their rights like gun rights to name one, until they are acquitted of the charges. How is it the FBI did not step in to protect their witness? There are too many unanswered questions that need to be answered and fixed if the citizens are ever to have law and order come from inside of lawless police departments. This matter has opened the door for honest government attorneys and federal LE to set things straight and restore some hope to the people that sometimes the system works.

I hope that no one gets the idea that this woman was a "good cop". All she did was to make the right choice one time. As a cop she did the wrong thing thousands of times. One good choice does not negate the evil of thousands of bad choices.

When you make the poor life choice to join the Blue Line Gang and become a parasite on productive people, consequences may suck. I have a really hard time sympathizing very much when chickens come home to roost- even though her supervisors and co-workers were obviously more evil than she.
