Mike Legregni guarded American embassies as a Marine. Then he came home, became a cop in New Jersey, and ran into an enemy he never trained for: his own chain of command. Mike says it started with one crash report and one video his bosses wanted gone. It ended with his badge. This one is a gut punch, and it's also one of the best stories of forgiveness I've heard in a long time.

What you'll hear:

• The crash, the surveillance video, and the order Mike says he got: delete it

• 76 internal affairs complaints, by Mike's count, and the witness who asked him, "What complaint?"

• The memo that stripped a veteran cop of any decision-making on duty

• Fired on Halloween, the whistleblower suit, and an $843,000 settlement with no admission of wrongdoing

• How he learned he'd been put on a list that ended his shot at the DEA

• His wife's ultimatum, and how forgiveness and faith brought him back

Michael Legregni is a U.S. Marine Corps veteran, former police officer, and founder of Veteran Wood Co. The account in this episode is his own.
