I can't get a job for long lapses of employment in my resume but a cop booted out of the military and has DUIs under his belt gets hired.
besides like state police and fed shit, law enforcement agencies have embarrassingly poor investigative capacity. one would imagine they might put some points into their hiring protocols just to preserve their own institution from public embarrassment, but it's easier to become a cop than to get a job working for a mid-sized business.
I would not be surprised if several PDs have hired guys with active warrants in nearby jurisdictions.
Conservatives like to complain about black gangs or communities not cooperating with cops and hating snitches, but no one likes snitches regardless if they’re valuable, and that includes cops. Internal affairs snooping around is already putting those IA cops in danger, and the snitch will die in a training accident a few weeks later.
Not to mention, public embarrassment doesn’t mean anything when your members are protected by their colleagues and the courts, and tax payers pay the victims instead of the department. And then the city will reward them with military tech each year. There is almost no downside to being a thief or murderer as a cop unless you’re very reckless or abuse a connected person.
Schools and churches shift around pedophiles to different districts, so a cop isn’t too far off.
