Several media outlets have reported that Van Dyke will make $12 an hour—making just above what an unarmed security guard is paid.
According to the police union’s president, Dean Angelo, the order hired him about three weeks ago, saying:
“Due to the notoriety of the incident, the ongoing threats of harm and intimidation and other issues caused him to become completely unemployable. Furthermore, after several threats against the safety of his spouse and her clients, his wife was forced to shut down her family-run business; resulting in zero household income.”
“For anyone to believe that the lodge entered into this arrangement without consideration and forethought is improper and shortsighted. Accuracy under these circumstances is paramount to truly grasping the significance to the decision made.”
