I'm surprised there's no mention of the sexual harassment and retaliation lawsuit that Max was embroiled in.

We have to be careful here:

Granted this person was in the lawsuit regarding sexual harassment.

Unfortunately for the Plainitff in the case, it was not filed "timely" so the Max was in fact lucky to have the case dismissed. The MFV Voice article stated:

"The judge's ruling states that claims of explicit banter, jokes and nudity by members of the SWAT team date back to 2006 and 2007, which far exceeds California's statute of limitations. The allegations of sexual harassment would have had to occur after Oct. 23, 2014, according to the court document."

So he got lucky that the plaintiff filed too late, it did not ever exonerate Max.

The City doesn't want to discuss this dirty laundry anymore.
