Another Washington State Patrol officer resigns after MANDATES after 17 years

Sgt. Richard Thompson is a nearly 17-year veteran of the WSP out of Cowlitz County. He tearfully offers his final sign-off, saying he is leaving out of a “moral stand for medical freedom and personal choice.” He was barely holding back tears.

He has been a field training officer, drug recognition officer, and peer support/critical incident stress management team member. A year ago Saturday was his one-year anniversary of being promoted sergeant.
