Somehow i missed this conversation the first time around but i have to say that i agree with OP. The problem is bigger than this one contract. LEO occupy a certain place of privilege in society out of necessity. Dont get me wrong, i think the justice system itself has became all but criminal and 2 tiered at least. We have too many laws and too many more that are selectively enforced.

Which brings me back to my point; LEO should be barred from working any type of second job like security that puts them in potential conflict with the rest of us. Do they lose the legal protections they have as LEO when they are on the clock for private entities? If not then they would be a ready made mercenary force ( harsh and over the top wording i know,but i can see some events that could go sideways easily ) that could act with impunity given their protected status. Both seem like Very bad ideas to me.

Just ban them from working these jobs and make the promoters hire private security that are not LE. They have chosen to be LEO, they can always quit and become private sector security guards but it has to be a choice one way or the other imo.
