I almost guarantee he’s working as a cop like one county over

Name kept private. Investigated internally. Definitely working another department.

I'm sure someone with more free time could pull the town's budget, for 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 to match the names of the cops that weren't on 2016, or 2019 and made less than a year's pay for the two other years since he started September of 2017 and fired July of 2018.

The town's budget gives aggregate figures, not individual officer pay.

The few 3rd party sources that do exist for individual officer pay don't have data for 2016 or 2018.

I suppose then we'd have the arduous task of checking the lowest paid cops from 2017 and from the bottom up, google search each one because I would bet this guy is definitely part of some very specific facebook groups. But that's just what I'd do if I were so inclined.

Well they said he's Hispanic and was hired in 2017. Based on the Police dept FB it's Paul Huerta

This guy has ICE all over him. I'm sure this video made him an easy hire over there

At this point when a video like this comes out I assume Pam Bondi shows up at their house afterwards like Sam Jackson to recruit them into ICE.

Yup or border patrol or a prison guard

He did work again for a PD in Alaska for a year and resigned a year later.

Wrangel Alaska, population 2000. Probably wasn't enough people to harass for him so he quit.

He resigned in 2018 from that police department. Was hired in the South West. Worked there for 11 months and was involved in a civil rights case for assaulting two victims he accused of being perpetrators. Big settlement. He resigned from that position in 2019. Investigative journalist could not find record of him thereafter.

So at least one precinct hired him after this video and was forced to part with him less than a year later for, shockingly, the same behavior.
