Daily Caller – by Nicholas Elias
Port of Seattle Police Officer and Special Forces veteran Greg Anderson was reportedly removed from his position after his video about police officers allegedly abusing their power went viral.
In an update video posted Monday to his Instagram, Anderson says he has been terminated from the Port of Seattle Police Department and is on administrative leave pending an investigation.
The Port of Seattle Police Department confirmed Anderson’s suspension in a statement posted on their website that reads in part, “Officer Greg Anderson is on paid administrative leave while we look into allegations that he violated our policy on the use of social media.”
Anderson posted the video May 5, addressing his concerns with police officers across the country enforcing quarantine orders administered by state and local governments.
“I’ve seen officers nationwide enforcing tyrannical orders against the people and I’m hoping it’s the minority of officers, but I’m not sure anymore,” said Anderson in the video that now has over 600,000 views on his Instagram account.
“We don’t get to violate someone’s constitutional rights because somebody in our chain of command tells us otherwise,” he added.
Anderson says he was informed by the department and his union that the reason for termination was due to insubordination for refusing to take down his Instagram video.
“I had received a message from command saying, ‘Wow Greg, what a powerful message. We agree with that 100 percent, well done,’ and that was a relief for me,” said Anderson. “Fast forward three hours later I get another phone call from my command, ‘Hey Greg, the video is up to 400,000 views, it’s time to pull the plug on this thing.’”
The officer who filmed this viral video has been reportedly placed on administrative leave pending investigation.
He has been told it will "result in termination due to it being an insubordination charge for refusing to take down the video."

“I have three little kids, I have this house, I have another house,” said Anderson. “I cannot afford to lose my job.” A friend of Anderson created a GoFundMe page Monday for Anderson’s legal action and any unforeseen expenses as a result of the termination. As of now, the page has raised over $200,000.
The Daily Caller reached out for a comment from the Port of Seattle Police Department, but they have not yet responded.
Yet, another Go Fund Me.
I was terminated from my job, without pay, for getting injured!
No worker’s compensation, a distinct inability to work because of the injury, and no Go Fund Me page.
But, then again, I wasn’t posing as an ego inflated hero/armed thug to whom you’d better pay respect or else.
Just a lowly construction worker-turned useless eater.
Piece-o-sheet can rot in H E double hockey sticks for my two cents. He wasn’t coerced into copping, he knew what he signed up for.
Instead of screaming, “Fox in the henhouse!!”, he could have been more discreet in exposing his friends, or taking them out.
Heavens to Betsy, we wouldn’t want him to lose his second home!!
We must Go Fund him, because he’s still getting paid.
He is, was and always will be an unapologetic traitor. Make him a good cop.
If it ain’t the skin on his arse he’s concerned about, it’s the shekels in his pocket.
He never has and NEVER will give a damn about US or his oath so F him.
He never cared or cared to understand his oath so I don’t care about him.
F you very much for your blackwater service to our enemy, the enemy of freedom.
Your overdue paycheck from US will be delivered express.
$336,876 is what he’s raised thus far. Just 3 days ago it was $45,000. Looks like he’ll be sailing the globe now. His dream come true. Where’s Henry’s GoFundMe for actually educating the people without EVER having been a traitor to the Bill of Rights?
I’ll buy this pig a beer for his “service” but only if he opens it with his a$$. That’s what pisses me off, too, is that someone bringing real truth has ANY difficulty getting a message out and this f’g traitor gets golden showers. And not the ones he truly deserves. More like lead showers.
Thanks Martist for putting the nail in the coffin! Angers me to no end!
Maybe this is contagious. Off the mark in many places, but here’s another cop going off:

I’ve begun to think these are a test of our response/reaction in the various comments, on the various websites. They are all scanned by the internet-of-things-eyes-government-alphabet soup operatives, maybe even AI, to gauge our temperature. If they can spark a conflagration that distracts, hot diggity, they’re cookin’ with gas! Peasant fights are the best.
We know it’s all B.S., the “why” they’re doing this might be to check our inflammatory propensity.
Oh yeah, Scanning-Is-They.
Ha, “inflammatory propensity.” We might just give a whole new meaning to Spontaneous Combustion.
