At least he got decertified and can’t become a cop again, anywhere.

Lol. Oh my sweet summer child.

First off there are ALL SORTS of de-cert jobs for ex-cops in the police force.

Second, there is always other states, since there is no federal certification program all this scum bag needs to do is move, hell, Jersey and he can be a cop again.

And FINALLY, this isn't over by a long shot, police unions are fucking POWERFUL and he may get his certification back, never doubt the lobbying power of police unions.
