Capt, thanks for clarifying. As horrific as it is, your situation looks like your watchful citizens critique of the FD resulted in a vendetta and bogus charges filed against you. Thankfully you were able to be exonerated. If what you say is true, and it cant be disputed that A: you were a Fire Dept critic and B: they at first opportunity instigated charges against you that turned out to be bogus.

I hope the situation is not as it looks because that's banana republic stuff, not America. Real American Patriots who fly the flag, don't use their government position to silence anyone's First Amendment rights, no matter how much they don't like the message. If this is true and the Cushman letter came from FD, then we're talking some real bad news here.

From: Avedisian leaving, to head RIPTA
