吃瓜直播

Working patrol not only involved a pay cut and worse shifts 鈥� it also required her to wear a bullet-proof vest. Agent Hicks was still nursing her baby, who was only a few months old, and her doctor had warned her that the heavy and restrictive vest could interfere with her ability to continue breastfeeding and subject her to a risk of painful infection. When Hicks requested a desk job where she would not have to wear the vest, the department denied her request, even though officers were routinely provided the same accommodation for other reasons.

Her supervisors told her that she seemed 鈥渃hanged,鈥� and intimated that it was because she had the 鈥渂aby blues.鈥� They were also overheard complaining about the length of time she had taken off for maternity leave, referring to her as a 鈥渟tupid cunt,鈥� and saying they would 鈥渇ind any way鈥� to 鈥済et rid of that bitch.鈥�
