Cop fired for death threats eligible for rehire

[Irving]

I find it hard to believe that just because someone is eligible to be hired, that the police force will just let him back on the force. I'm eligible for that job, but I doubt they'd hire me.

You're not already a member of that particular police union. I'm guessing Canton's PD is heavily unionized, hence the intervention of an arbitrator. In a nonunion department, he'd be out on his ass for official misconduct.

Winner! Canton PD is very unionized and that is the only reason he would be able to get his job back. I'm neither pro-union or anti-union but in this instance it is the only way the officer would have a chance to return to work.
