I think ermak has the potential to become an exceptional officer, perhaps even a supervisor or command team member. It's a shame he was dismissed the way he was, and goes to show how the systems in place to combat officer abuse of power and breaches of conduct are flawed. If you were to ask me to name one person in the police department with the most amount of stifled and unharnessed potential, I would probably have said ermak.
Let's be honest here, ermak certainly has a meme status within the community, especially on the forums, with regards to some of the (not always terribly well thought out) posts and videos he makes. This, in addition to where he's from, and his age being on the younger side has caused people to be rather unkind towards ermak, and not treating him equal to themselves or others, which is rather unfair in my opinion.
Ermak used to be a Corporal in the PLPD, since its inception I believe, correct me if I'm wrong
@ErmakDimon and from what I've seen, he's always strived to do his job well, he's hard-working, motivated, and always tried to do his very best when it came to his duties. Following a demotion to Senior Officer, of which I am unaware of the exact reasoning behind, he never stopped trying his hardest. However due to the aforementioned points, few people would attempt to teach and train him, and if approached directly by him with a question or concern, they would either shrug him off, or give unhelpful or incomplete answers/advice.
This demotion is of no failure of Ermak. This is a failure of the PD as a whole, and we're all responsible, for not being bothered enough to try and train him properly, giving stupid troll answers, and avoiding him as a whole.
I call upon the professional standards team, and whatever the fuck replaced the police board to re-evaluate their decision, and to allow Ermak to learn from people who can be bothered.
