Why Koziol removed from narc. det. unit?

Why do you suppose Sgt. John Koziol was removed from a long-time assignment to narcotics? And when did that happen? Who ordered him out of narcotics? Did his supervisor, Lt. Popovits, stand up for him?

Did Koziol ask to be transferred from narcotics? Under duress? Was he told to leave narcotics "or else"?

As I've said, I don't know Koziol. I wouldn't recognize him, if he knocked on my door. So, whatever I write isn't coming from him.

He must have still been a detective in narcotics in July, when he was on the DEA task force in Rockford. That's when he learned that a drug shipment was headed for the company in Crystal Lake owned by a man on the Sheriff's Merit Commission. That's when he reported the case to Undersheriff Zinke.

Did he start letting off steam after Undersheriff Zinke revealed to the president of a suspect company that the DEA knew about drugs headed to the RITA Corporation in Crystal Lake?

Unless Koziol is good at the poker table, his displeasure at Zinke's indiscretion, and possible criminal act, was probably clear at the outset.

He must have had to make a run for the First Aid cabinet for a band-aid for his tongue, right after running into Zinke and Brian Goode in the Sheriff's Department parking lot.

How is McHenry County going to protect its deputies who, in the future, uncover wrongdoings that might implicate friends of higher-ups in the Sheriff's Department?

Thinking of the political ramifications other than the obvious alleged corruption.

Political donations are all a public record as Cal Skinner and other news media have shown us time and time again. What person in their right mind will now contribute to Andy Zinke with this cloud of suspicion hanging over him? The allegations are unproven and I am not casting any aspersions toward Goode or Zinke. Let the courts decide, however, do I want my name associated with someone named in such scandalous allegations? We all know how the news media likes to be provocative and print names for affect.
