Furhman’s Worker’s Comp Claim

Correct me if any of this is incorrect.

In 1982 Furhman filed a claim to receive early pension benefits based on the argument that working as an LAPD Officer was a major contributor in making him a racist. Some Psychologists reports recommended that he be removed from duty altogether while others said that he, at the very least, shouldn’t carry a gun anymore. The claim was viewed as frivolous and rejected. Then he returned to regular duty.

My question is, how on earth was Mark Fuhrman allowed back on on the street? Why wasn’t Fuhrman just answering phones and filing stolen bicycle reports for the rest of his career?
