He got hired despite several other departments in his own state turning him down because LMPD was and is desperate for recruits who can pass the minimum standards. LMPD didn't do as thorough of a background check as the Florida departments he applied to did. He was also highly prized as a hispanic, because "diversity". The lack of criminal charges against him with so many witnesses makes LMPD and the Commonwealth Attorney both look corrupt. You don't often have that many witnesses accusing 1 person
