Has to be a fake story!!
First off, police are basically all good people. "But how do you know!?" Um, because they were background checked by the government. Background checks WORK!
Also, they're trained. Not just with dangerous guns but to de-escalate, be respectful, and not to deceive people. This blends into their personal lives.
Therefore, I have decided that this story cannot be true. And if it were true, he would apologize for his errors, and he would prosecuted. But he hasn't apologized and he isn't in jail.
So he must be telling the truth. Even though he resigned. Okay?!
