TN is an "At Will" state and as I understand it, an employee can be fired for no reason at all. Punitave action was taken agains me to an highly excessive extent to what the usuall punishment has been for other employees who comitted similar or worse actions. If I was fired without due cause, despite the allagations made against me in an "At Will" state, what can I do? Can the State or Federal EEOC, State Civil Court, or Federal Civil Courts do anything in my situation?

I am being fired for what they are calling "Unprofessional Conduct" and "Conduct Unbecomming an Officer." The "Unprofessionalism" clauses are the "catch all" way they use to get people they dont like and cant find anything else to use. Unprofessionalim is very subjective. Is accidentaly belching in public unprofessional? Maybe yes, maybe no. And so on... I got into a disagreement with this lousy district attorney over a case. I then went to the State Election Finance Committee to look into the D.A.'s political finance statement (it shows how much he brought in and spent on his election) he found out I was looking into his file and he wrote a nasty exagerated letter about how unprofessional and pushey I was. The letter was almost 3-wks after the incident. However, my ultimate supervisor hates me and was just looking for a reason to punish me. Others have commited crimes w/o any punishment at all. Mabye b/c i am Asain? But I can't prove that.
