Cheating death and fighting communism: that is how a fellow officer once described our job. It was meant to be funny, but as time went on it seemed all too true.
I spent more than ten years in law enforcement, all of it on the street in uniform patrol. I've been a patrol officer, instructor, sergeant and lieutenant.

If you are a child, talk to your parents.
If you are an adult, you should file an abuse complaint with Facebook. In some circumstances there may be something criminal associated with the theft or misuse of your personal identifiers.

Most agencies will look for a significant period of time between your last use of an illegal substance and the current time. One to two years is not enough time for most departments. I would strongly suggest joining the military or attending college. By the time you finish your service or obtain your degree, you will have been clean for 5+ years, which puts you in a much better position.
If the nerve damage isn't debilitating in some way (can you still lift heavy things, run, have a strong grasp, etc.), it shouldn't be a problem. Just make sure you disclose that before you take a pre-employment physical. I imagine the bullet will show up on the x-rays.

It depends. Some small agencies will work off of a county channel. Others will handle the dispatching, but the county will handle the 911 call answering. Others will have a full 911 center (take the emergency calls and dispatch.) I hate to say "it depends" so much, but things vary a lot.
