A Port of Seattle police officer is facing disciplinary action after his post on social media in which he suggested that his fellow law enforcement officers around the U.S. should avoid enforcing stay-home orders issued by their jurisdictions.

Officer Greg Anderson's nearly nine-minute video post on his Instagram page touched a nerve and went viral. Anderson has refused requests by his superiors to delete the post and is now being accused of insubordination, he told KOMO News Tuesday.

He said he has no regrets about his post, and has doubled down on his message. “I don’t want to see the citizens get to a point where we have to defend our Constitutional rights against the government,” Anderson said in the social media post.

Port of Seattle officials declined to answer questions from KOMO News about Anderson or his situation. In a statement, however, the agency said, "The officer is currently on paid administrative leave pending an investigation. The Port does not comment on pending personnel matters.”
