who says cops are having a hard time recruiting? 18-y.o arrested for impersonating one after applying to be a cop

[butters]

Limestone County officials say they arrested a man who confessed to impersonating a law enforcement official in no fewer than four Tennessee Valley counties, after first applying to become a bona fide officer.

18-year-old Logan Martin of Harvest was arrested Friday and charged with impersonating a peace officer. Captain Tammy Waddell said Martin was on their radar after receiving a tip that he had stolen the blue light apparatus from a Madison County Career Tech law enforcement vehicle and was using the lights to make traffic stops.

okay, admittedly the picture shows someone who could be mistaken for a bit of a psychocreep, but this reads more like an idiot desperate to be a cop. Not that they shouldn't be charged for their crimes but i'm guessing there's a backstory to all this. Perhaps he always wanted to be a crime-fighting hero because of being bullied (or ignored) as a kid. oh well, it was pretty dumb.

ok, lol, psycho creep it is:

A search warrant was executed on Martin's car, where officers uncovered property belonging to various law enforcement agencies, including Huntsville Police, Madison County Sheriff's Office, and the Alabama Department of Law Enforcement (ALEA).

Some of the equipment included dash cameras, emergency lights, and a police radio. A photo provided by the department also showed a large kitchen knife, a flip-style knife, handcuffs, two stuffed toys, and an array of condoms.

With his long flowing curly hair, he looks like some of Tennessee's law enforcement finest! A hint of lip gloss helps him stand out, but it's the herpes sore on his lower lip that screams "I AM the law!"

Marion county hired cop... 2 days later fired him after Marion-based news outlet forwarded racist posts to them

In one screenshot shared by Channel 27, an alleged post from June 1, 2022, showed Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin kneeling on George Floyd’s neck.

The caption read: “With gas hitting 4.89 and climbing, let’s all take a moment to appreciate better times.”

Another screenshot shows an alleged post made by Foy on April 13, 2021, in which an illustration of a Black man was labeled “Martin Looter King.”
