This is pretty telling of our society in general.
That an organization is prepared to pay off command and control training and responsibilities when executing a duty of care to the public is very, very bad.

That’s a hell of a statement and complaint from Sierra 3-1.

Knowing how the system works, he’s never likely to work in uniform again now that he’s raised serious issues about his chain of command.

I wish him all the best for he future, he’s a fracking brave man to blow the whistle like this.

I agree, he has clearly put himself in the internal spotlight of his organisation, but it seems like he wants the problem to be brought to light, imagine being in his position and feeling powerless at influencing change, especially due to it's outcome in his experience. Sierra 3-1 is fed up - over.

To be honest I doubt he has had the opportunity to work normally since the Lindt Cafe Siege occurred. The amount of hearings and enquires he and the rest of the team would have had to go through would be shit-house. Especially if he feels the way he does.

Amazing how many people around me just think he's having a cry about not getting to take a shot without knowing even the smallest detail of this situation.

The soul of a nation stirred.
