TL/DR: As a cop in Youngstown, Ohio, Lieutenant Brian Flynn was charged with 14 counts of dereliction of duty, including "failure to investigate numerous cases of child sex abuse or child pornography." He was fired, and then charges were dropped on a technicality.
He was then hired as a cop in the neighboring town of Poland, Ohio, where he was assigned as a school cop, despite the bit about failure to investigate child sex abuse or child pornography. After public outcry, he's no long a school cop. Instead he's been reassigned to road patrol, because "Not every police officer is a good school officer," says the schools superintendent.

Time to get rid of police unions that encourage this type of behavior.
Police union is the only union I don't support.
And the only union the right-wing supports.
Just make the unions pay liability insurance for the cops. The problem would be solved over night.
Reduce their power, don't need to remove them entirely. Every worker should have the security of one, on principle. There just need to be common sense limits to their power when it comes to such high stakes, judgment-heavy jobs as police.
Nah, fuck the police, they shouldn't have a union. They should have extremely high standards but instead they hand a gun to any moron who can go through 6 weeks of "training"
We need to apply the same level of safety regulations to police that we do to truck drivers.
Not just police unions, unions that don't do their jobs properly.
There's a building in NYC (or was before the news story anyway) with a room of teachers just sitting there doing nothing because they couldn't be fired. Some there for years.
It's insane what they protect sometimes.
That sounds doubtful
I stand corrected. I don't think this is the norm though
No, this definitely isn't. But many unions do have a habit of keeping people who should be fired for many good reasons employed.

Fascinating and dystopian... Thanks for the link.
