A vacation in Hawaii not only cost a former Connecticut police officer his job, but also led to criminal charges being brought against him.
The Stamford Advocate reports Donald Chen was granted two weeks off from Dec. 1 to Dec. 15 by the Stamford police department so he could report for training with his U.S. Army Reserves unit.
Eight days into Chen’s military leave, police received a call from the Army asking where he was. After initially telling a lie involving his “sick” father, police say Chen admitted that he was vacationing in Hawaii with his girlfriend.
Chen, who resigned from the force on Dec. 14, is facing charges of felony larceny and defrauding a public community. He turned himself in to police on Tuesday.

Oh but it’s just fine that Obama lies to all Americans makes illegal actions against us, it’s ok that HE lived on the golf corse and spends millions of our American tax dollars to go to Hawaii? And Hillary Clinton have so much proven against her and several of her buddies yet, nothing ever done about the Obama Clinton group? Gee, I wonder why? Let any black person get shot by a police officer doing his/her job Obama and all his cronies are Johnny on the spot ! However let a white child or a white anybody get shot beat raped or burned out of business and where is Obama? No where to be found that’s where! He is a filthy coward and he wants unrest in America between races our enemies and he is breaking our banks. What are people waiting for???? My GOD he’s got to go!!!! He should be in prison along with Holder, Clinton, so many of HIS ill will cronies. We better make a stand before it is too late for America. I do believe he is a terrorist Muslim himself hell bent on destroying our America that Our people gave their lives for!

Very true BUT, we hold our Police Officers and Military personnel to a much higher standard. I am a 7 year Veteran of the Vietnam War and a retired Police Officer and “I” think that this guy should be charged as being AWOL from his reserve unit and called into active duty as his punishment. Additionally he MUST lose his Police certificate and job and never be allowed to be a Police Officer again, anywhere, as he has shown he cannot be trusted to tell the truth. I know that we seem to not worry about our Government Officials when they lie, cheat, and commit crimes but we certainly should and not just not vote for them, they should be prosecuted!

true but who and how do you find any way to change any of this/????///

It is common knowledge that his goal in life is to destroy American culture and install his beloved Islam bullchit! Sharia law and the whole 9 yards!
By the way the “whole nine yards” saying actually originated during ww2 when one of our boys on a B17 emptied his machine gum at German fighter planes. The machine gun belt held “nine yards of ammo” before it ran out.
Billy Buchanan says
If he was a Washington insider or a muslim nothing would have been said or any actions taken against him. Obama is the one they need to focus on. He took his family and friends to Hawaii over Christmas Hollidays and wasted millions of taxpayers dollars and he’s not in jail or charged with his crime of stealing taxpayers money for committing his crime. If you’re a member of the government you can steel (especially like Hillary taking things that belonged to the American People) when her and Bill left the White House.
Robocop says
Actually he took his family on another $4 million vacation over the Christmas holidays as he has done the last 7 years. Additionally he took with him hundreds of Government employees who because of this were not able to spend Christmas with their families. Say what you want about Bush but he never left Washington until AFTER Christmas so the SS Agents and other Presidential employees could be home for Christmas with their families. The estimate for Obama’s vacations and fun jaunts and shopping sprees has cost the US Taxpayers over $70 million in the last 7 years or $10 million a year and they estimate he will cost the taxpayers almost $20 million this last year in just unnecessary personal expenses.

Very true ROBOCOP. I can add that the reason for the Hawaii vacations is that he wears a Muslim ring on his left hand, that has been photographed, and verified. He will not attend any Christian or Jewish religious ceremonies, during Christmas or Easter, but thinks the bells tolling for Muslim Prayer service is the most beautiful sound he has ever heard. Glad to read the tally for the taxpayer monies spent. When and where did he go to speak about the devastating Southern and western floods experienced by AMERICANS during his Hawaii vacation with hundreds of hangers on?

Hopefully for the good of ALL LEGAL AMERICAN CITIZENS OBOZO will drop stone dead .Sooner the better.
RAY HUNT says
If Mr. Chen’s actions are illegal then charge him.
R. McK. says
Probably no defense but sometimes people with “special” backgrounds get ‘the call’, and this Police Officer may have gotten the call, as His Majesty was also there in Hawaii, and this officers special qualifications were needed. Unintended consequences?
When people who wear a Muslim ring on their (L) hand, replacing a traditional American wedding ring, that has been photographed and verified in detail as an Islam ring, and also states that the most beautiful sound they have ever heard, is “The Call to Prayer”, and that same person hides in Hawaii every Easter and Christmas, perhaps this person wants to avoid any Christian ceremonies?
Ron says
What can you expect from a young government employee? He is just learning from the many others like Obama and many other government employees.
Robert Powell says
this is kind of typical of the entitled generation, they have seen the democrats do the same thing and no one says anything. the us-against-them mentality of some police forces is becoming a real problem in some of the eastern “democrat”cities.holder/o’bummer, and now the new corrupt attorney general dragging her ass on the clinton debacle.the police have very few role-models.the police are working in fear that any action against a black will call down the wrath of the communist media. yet when a black hoodlum shoots up a black neighborhood no mention, not worth the trouble to write even a small article about it, “it makes our safety seem at risk”now between the black gangsters and the muslims it is a wonder that the police even show up for work…
