A GoFundMe Page has been set up for Western New York law enforcement officers who are fired after intervening, reporting, or stopping fellow officers who abuse their powers. It’s called Cariol Horne Whistleblower Fund.
The fund was named after Horne, a former Buffalo Police Officer. She was fired from Buffalo Police Department, after grabbing the arm of then fellow Officer, Gregory Kwiatkowski while he was arresting a black man. Horne said the officer was choking the suspect. Horne was reportedly punched in the face by Kwiatkowski and discipline by the department until her firing. Her 19 year career ended in 2008 when the BPD fired Horne for her involvement in the 2006 incident. She originally applied for her pension in 2007, while still employed by the department. But did not get it.
