Muslim cop goes jihad: Was attack on California school averted last year? Cop fired after FBI investigation, predictable discrimination lawsuits follow

From Jawa:

In 2006, Matthew Hernandes was a media wet-dream: an anti-war 82nd Airborne soldier who served two terms in Iraq who had converted to Islam. His story was dutifully profiled by the San Francisco Chronicle and Oakland Tribune, and Islamic organizations openly promoted his conversion and opposition to the war.

Upon his departure from the Army and a return home to the Bay area, Hernandes looked to a new career in law enforcement. After finishing the police academy, he became a police officer for the Fremont, CA police department. And here the story of the anti-war war hero Muslim convert takes a decided turn.

Last year, Officer Matthew Hernandes was the subject of a FBI investigation the details of which are still classified. And immediately after his initial interview with the FBI, he was summarily fired by the Fremont PD, required to immediately turn over his badge and gun, and a constant SWAT presence established at the police station.

Then came another revelation - just a week before his termination he had appeared at a local school making inquiries with the school's resource officer about plans and responses to active shooting scenarios. This new information prompted law enforcement authorities to contact all of the schools in the Alameda Unified School District and provide bulletins bearing Hernandes' picture and details, warning them to be on the lookout. School resource officers were advised to consider Hernandes armed and dangerous.

Had this anti-war war hero Muslim convert cop gone jihad?
