Wouldn’t surprise me if these people couldn’t land jobs as run-of-the-mill police officers, much less mall cops. That, and they probably enjoy the anguish they inflict on others.

Have you seen the standard for cops? It's almost as low as priests. Screw up somewhere, just get yourself shuffled to another place if things haven't blown over by the time your paid leave is up.

A cop where I used to live resigned in disgrace after a dashcam caught him pulling over a car while off duty (possibly drunk), pulling out his gun and threatening to shoot the driver.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he worked for ICE now.
