      It actually used to be impossible (at least in California) to get rehired by another department after leaving one under a cloud. The reason being is that any another agency saw you as a potential liability. However, that no longer appears to be the case as the police unions have a lot more control of city councils now.

    I’m copying and pasting my comment from one of the other clips from this incident…I had to go through an extensive background check when I applied to a sheriff department. If an agency agrees to hiring a person after said person refuses to allow a background check, that agency shouldn’t exist. I also think officers shouldn’t be allowed to resign to stop being fired for their actions. Whether they resign or are fired, they still need to be arrested and charged for those actions if any laws were broken. You and I couldn’t assault someone at our jobs and resign instead of being fired, thus dropping any charges we might get for breaking the law. I am pro LE, but I believe qualified immunity needs to stop. Make officers carry malpractice insurance. Stop paying settlements with taxpayers money to keep the incident out of court. Officers should be held to a higher standard. They are sworn to uphold the law. Giving them a pass and allowing them to resign is absolutely disgusting. There also needs to be a national data base that tracks personal and their files.

So true if you even apply for a job as a citizen your previous employer is contacted. This chiefs reasoning is unexceptable there's less background checks for officers who carry a gun and badge. This officer should never been hired at any department taking a little time to research would have shown this period. If the public can get those training documents it would have taken just a little time for this department to have found the same information.

      That is why a national database of law enforcement officer's who've had their peace officer license temporarily or permanently revoked/suspended, or exhibit a pattern of reported misconduct needs to be implemented. In this way, law enforcement agencies should be REQUIRED to query the national database on any and all subsequent applicants applying for a sworn law enforcement position. This would catch would-be bad apples before they're hired on.

      @@rrussell9731 I don’t about that anymore. We all need to be humbled. Im ok with being humiliated, although I don’t think I would call it that anymore. If I need to see myself, I shall be grateful for any experience.
      I do not desire to cause anymore division amongst humanity. I’ve done enough damage, surely. My anger for this is gone, replaced by deep understanding. At least that’s how I feel at this moment. Oh, if we could only bestow compassionate understanding upon the whole planet. That is, choose to see others as their higher selves, even in their worst moments. I guess I’ll go back and watch this again. I’m just going off memory of this video right now.

      Don't know where you're from, but in the US many departments have policies requiring officers to carry off duty. As far as passing a law, yes it is that hard. LEOSA is federal law that allows cops across the country to carry off duty.

THIS is why protests against police brutality and misconduct should be done, THIS is why questioning every police encounter is important, and THIS is why people will scream "ACAB" (All Cops Are Bad), because it's not just the individual, but the entire police department and infrastructure that protect these "bad apples" that consistently get caught.
