A high-ranking officer within the Baton Rouge Police Union resigned from the department Tuesday, writing to supervisors that the department is a hostile place to work.

Siya Creel, who was fired and successfully fought to get his job back, resigned "effective immediately," writing a memo to bosses early Tuesday morning.

"I ...resign my position... due to the continued hostile work force conditions, harassment and attacks on me as the President of the Local 237 Union of Police,"

Why fight to get the job back if you're just going to resign?
Pension or something?

ETA: I don't know this guy's story, but the above would be one reason to do it if the allegations were indeed bullshite.

I know an officer that retired from BRPD. Said he couldn't take any more of the white guilt/sensitivity courses the white officers had to take.

Right. And they were put on patrols in trouble neighborhoods with their lights on.

That would be the Sheriff's Association. I think you are confusing local police unions with northern police unions who actually have pull. These guys pay their $50 a year for the conference and the leaders have somewhat of a voice for the line officers against management but really have limited recourse.

Probably also received backpay for all the time lost. It was a no brainer he was going to resign once he got his job back. Pretty standard for anyone that goes through that situation.
