When You Cross the Blue Line, Your "Blue" Life Doesn't MatterTuesday, October 6, 2015 Andrea Heath, a former police officer in Desert Hot Springs, California, died three years ago at forty-four years of age. Her untimely death was indisputably the result of trauma she suffered in the line of duty. Yet she was not the subject of an elaborate state funeral, nor was her name inscribed on the Officer Down Memorial Page. She was an authentic victim of what can legitimately be called a war on cops – specifically, the unending war waged within law enforcement against whistleblowers who cross the Blue Line. Heath died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head on October 8, 2012 in the apartment she shared with Desert Hot Springs Police Officer James Henson and the couple's daughter. Attorney Jerry Steering, who represents Heath's family in a federal lawsuit, describes her suicide as the culmination of an unremitting campaign of harassment by the police department and the bankrupt Desert Hot Springs municipal government in retaliation for her involvement in a federal civil rights investigation. Andrea Heath “They didn't pull the trigger, but they drove her to it,” Steering asserts. “She told the truth and in response they retaliated by driving her out of the department, driving her out of her mind, which led to her suicide.” www.freedominourtime.blogspot.com/2015/10/when-you-cross-blue-line-your-blue-life.html Det.
