      Because that would open the door for every cop in the state of Alabama to be arrested, and they don’t want to do that.

      At best, they wouldn’t have cops at all. At worst, the new ones might actually want to do something like stop crime, and that’s against the AL way.

        I’m not. Probably still gets a payout this way and won’t have black mark on record when going to another police department
