it was a hard job to get him fired in the first place, due to time constraints and whatever protections he had... he wasn't even fired for that incident but another, feces-related one:
It’s a story as old as time: A police officer does something very, very bad, resigns or gets fired, then in no time, they’re back on the streets with a badge and a gun, just a few towns over. One of the latest and most disturbing examples of this phenomenon is the curious case of Matthew Luckhurst, a former bike patrol cop in Charles Barkley’s favorite city: San Antonio, Texas. In 2016, he gave an unhoused person a sandwich with feces in it, and after a long arduous process, he was fired. Now he’s employed by the Floresville Police Department.

This is a startling example of the sweeping privilege cops have and the immunity they have to break the law they’re supposed to uphold. This is a system that allows people to carry guns and have oversight over your freedom after they do something as evil as give a woman in a vulnerable state a sandwich full of feces. I don’t know how you can reform that.
