Here’s some mind-bending stuff from the article:

Luckhurst, 42, now serves as a cop in Benavides, about 150 miles from San Antonio, according to Benavides Police Chief Andre Hines, who said the 2023 hiring “reflects the department’s commitment to honesty and accountability.”

[…]

Bizarrely, that same year, [note: not 2023] Luckhurst was accused of defecating in one of the San Antonio police department’s female restrooms before wiping a brown, feces-like substance on one of the toilet seats, reported the San Antonio Express-News. He reportedly never denied being behind the bathroom incident.

[…]

Hines said Luckhurst’s record in Benavides “has been exemplary, with no complaints or issues reported, and said “a thorough background check” helped ensure “all aspects of his history were carefully considered.”

Apparently “honesty and accountability” is when you harass women and the homeless with your weird poop fetish.

    If someone served in the military, they already proved some abilities which overlap with police.

    A psychological screening and a shortened training could work. I mean most soldiers I talked to seemed way WAY more stable than police.

    “Poopy mc poop smear” would probably have a hard time in today’s military (they had scandals too but learned from them afaik… or at least try. The police is like the opposite way around)

      The military (Marines specifically) have an insurrectionist problem though, and they’re ignoring it just like the police largely ignore their metaphorical cross burners.

      Aren’t most (a lot) cops ex military?

        Possibly… but if I compare the reactions of the military towards accusations regarding mistreatment of civilians with the reactions of the police, I see a vast difference between 2010 and today (in almost every western military), while the police(s?) has developed backwards in terms of transparency and consequences for their actions.

        But maybe that is massively biased due to the “social media war” vs Russia which paints western/ukrainian military almost “woke” as a harsh counter to the homophobe orcs. Idk man, the world is crazy… GEN-Z should play fortnite, not fight drone wars.
