It's illegal for them to practice selective enforcement with personnel matters. If they get away with it, then it's because the FOP attorney hasn't called them out. If it's a matter of the FOP failing to represent, then you can get your own attorney, win against the department, and then sue the FOP for attorneys fees for failing to fairepresent over a relatively clear-cut infringement by the department. You can do something similar through the National Labor Relations Board too. http://corporate.findlaw.com/human-resources/employers-must-enforce-policies-uniformly.html
