That would be some serious bullshite and probably a civil rights violation to some extent. There's plenty of situations where someone can be wrongfully arrested, and it gets cleared. Not saying this is the same scenario, but as mentioned, an arrest does not mean guilty.

There’s not a civil right to employment by BRPD. In the field of possible candidates, weeding out those that were arrested may eliminate some otherwise good candidates, but it may also prevent hiring some idiots too.

Are we really having a problem with the exclusion of someone who accidentally shot someone from becoming a police officer with a gun? He can be both not guilty and not officer material at the same time.

Sure, an arrest doesn’t mean guilty. But it does mean suspicion of guilt. You don’t get arrested for no reason. He shot her in the back. He’s at least an idiot doing things he should not be doing, which resulted in the death of a woman. Having that arrest on his record is evidence enough that he would likely cause a problem on the police force, and therefore should not be hired or trained
