And they don't work for the federal government but are state employees.

I appreciate the information. But state employees are still bound by federal law, just as all of the rest of us "folks." And however they get the job, members of LE--whether judges, magistrates or cops on the beat--have an obligation to learn and follow the law.
And by now, "folks" everywhere have heard that racial discrimination is illegal and wrong. Any individual has a right to believe otherwise, but if he or she chooses to stand on that belief, he or she has an obligation NOT to become a civil servant.
