Fine, it is hypocritical. However, it doesn't matter. A cop MUST remain a professional no matter what people think or say about him. He even must remain a professional no matter what people do TO him. If someone is shooting at him, he should f*** em up. If someone is throwing food at him, he should arrest him but should probably not injure the person. If someone is fighting him, he should do what is required to subdue the person AND IMMEDIATELY STOP harming the person as soon as the person is unable to fight back. It doesn't matter if his itty bitty feelings were hurt.
Depends on the state. Illinois is an at will work state, and as such you need not have cause to fire anyone.
Again not necessarily, unless you are considering the lawsuit issue which has nothing to do with the law. You could be fired in Illinois for no reason, that is perfectly legal. You could also sue them, but you could sue them because you don't like their hair color and would probably win.
Ah unions, different story.
