So we have a story about a deputy who may be guilty of a crime, who jumped from one department to another (though the report doesn’t say why). Then we have this article about a deputy who was fired from a police department and who repeatedly broke the rules.
If I were an LEO, I would want my department to fire all the Carters and not hire any new Carters. The job is hard enough, and the reputation of police officers is bad enough, that every cop or deputy who breaks the rules makes it harder for everyone else. Whether it is racial slurs, shooting at people, beating people, or even just something like committing perjury or destroying evidence, LEOs who break the rules should be punished to the max. Otherwise, such behavior looks acceptable.
