The office of elected sheriff is a surreal world where the position has many built-in institutional protections and buffers. However, in a non-profit organization, such as in the position of CEO of First Step of Sarasota, people expected results -- and not just words and promises. Either fulfill the responsibilities of the job or leave. Reality sunk in. First Step has expectations and requirements. Period. Seriously though, if Tom Knight genuinely wants to help other people, then there are many positions that are available where he can do that. Helping others does not have to be as a CEO. Does Knight genuinely want to help other people? Only he can answer that question and it will be demonstrated by his actions -- or lack thereof.

On a personal note, Tom, please make good choices.

With the exception of Sarasota Sheriff Kurt Hoffman, can you name just one (1) current or retired command staff deputy who will privately say something positive about Tom Knight? Nope. How about publicly? That speaks volumes. Is anyone surprised that Knight could not keep a job at First Step? Nope.

• Instead of sowing harmony and solidarity inside the SSO, Tom Knight publicly accused American LEOs of being racists.
  .
• Knight also "took a knee" with Marxist BLM protesters in Sarasota and businesses were vandalized shortly thereafter

Click here for multiple MSM reminders.

Those kinds of publicized political stunts are not a good fit with First Step of Sarasota and unfortunately, the non-profit board learned the hard way. Seeing and experiencing is believing.

Many of us were horrified when former sheriff Tom Knight publicly supported violent Marxist BLM extremists because Antifa violence was concurrently being televised nationwide. Knight’s public announcement that American law enforcement is “systemically racists” is equally partisan. We are not surprised that Knight quickly left employment in law enforcement shortly after his televised publicity stunts with BLM, nor are we surprised that Knight only lasted a few months working for a non-profit organization. Your CRT mileage may vary.

Knight chose the wrong side when he chose to openly support BLM. The truth will eventually come out on top. It'll eventually come to light. The conflict that the United States is in is between supporters of socialist-Marxism versus supporters of Constitutional freedom-liberty.

This is not meant to be an insulting question, but do you think:

• Tom Knight supported BLM because he supports socialism?
• Or did Knight choose BLM because (a) he doesn’t understand that it’s a violent Marxist funded organization and (b) he joined BLM for political gain?

Either way, Knight chose the wrong political horse when said that American law enforcement is systemically racist. Are there American racists? Sure. Is the United States systemically racists? Yes, according to Knight it is.
