A police officer resigned from the Vermont Criminal Justice Council and the Bristol Police Department on Wednesday after saying “you’re fucking here illegally” as a migrant worker testified before the council that morning.

Michael Major, who represented the Vermont Police Association on the 24-member council, interrupted the migrant worker, who was speaking in support of a revised fair and impartial policing policy.

The worker, who identified himself as Eduardo, spoke about the urgency of approving the policy, which immigrant rights advocates have long pushed for.

Major was hired by the Bristol department in March 2020. He previously worked in the Chittenden County Sheriff’s Department.

    Ahh yes, another glowing model of sympathy from those who “protect and serve”.

    At least this one had the sense to resign when the true colors showed.

      The notoriety probably got him a better job offer elsewhere.

        I hate that you’re almost certainly right.

      The caveat of the police is that they never say who they protect and serve.

    “It wasn’t directed towards the discussion. I was having a discussion with my daughter. I apologize … extremely,” he said. “And it should not be reflected on the person that was talking at the time.”

    Well an attempt was made, lol.
