FILE - In this Nov. 25, 2014 file photo, police officers watch protesters as smoke fills the streets in Ferguson, Mo. In the wake of Michael Brown's death, the federal government wants to require the Ferguson Police Department to check all new hires against a database of police officers stripped of their law enforcement licenses for misconduct. The database contains the names of about 20,000 former officers who have been pushed out of law enforcement. Since it's been used inconsistently, many officers who are stripped of their badges in one jurisdiction are free to move to another.  (AP Photo/Charlie Riedel, File)
