Information
Trooper's Name: Bobby White
Organisation: TxDPS
Rank: Aux Trooper
Department: JTF
Badge Number (If Applicable): 671
Punishment you were given: 10 points
Grounds for Appeal (Why should it be overturned): I was given my points because I made a thread in the TxDPS discord under an announcement which I did not agree with. In this thread I expressed my concerns and showed a disinterest in the idea as a whole, even going as far as to call the thread "crazy man" in reference to the absurdness of the announcement and not as a direct insult to the Colonel. However, the Colonel, Blake McRaven, took that as a personal dig and messaged me telling me "my command would be in touch" which I did not understand as all I was trying to do was open a discussion. I agree that calling this thread "crazy man" was not very nice but I do not believe it falls under disrespect as it takes place in the TxDPS discord which to my knowledge has always and does follow the rules of "The discord is in RP but you don't have to Roleplay" because that's how it was in Florida. Blake then told me "PD discord is absolutely in RP" and "You have been and always will be able to be punished for things said in the PD discord" which I do not understand when many messages are put in there which are outright rude and disrespectful by people towards Blake, and by Blake himself. He also said I did not follow COC (Chain of Command) which I disagree with as I made the thread as a discussion point for the whole PD not just to message Blake directly.
Any evidence to support this:
I agree that all of these are most likely jokes but they are still outright more disrespectful that saying "crazy man" not even directly to someone.
Have you requested reasons for your discipline (if yes, please paste them as a reply to this appeal): No
Do you know the case against you (have you seen the evidence)?: Yes
Do you request the Texas Senate Disciplinary Appeal Committee obtain all evidence help by the government in relation to your case?: No
Please link your original appeal which must have been denied here: I did not post one as the punishment was given due to a situation regarding the Colonel so I believe it would create a conflict of interest.
