Could any of you ever imagine working as a cop in your area?

Nah i wouldn't want to be one

what is your main reason for not wanting too, it isn't low pay is it? cops aren't paid a great deal in most places....

First, they wouldn't have me. I'm terrible with authority.
Second, I wouldn't want to.
The night life in this town can be wild.
It's a part town, and in the Summer it's also a resort town.

And then you have other issues, last week there was an Amber Alert that went bad just about a week ago.
The Baby was found in a pipe of some sort at a GE Plant.

No, I would not want that all to be too top of mind.
I honestly don't know how they do it.

i could never imagine myself working as a cop. specially in the United States.

well maybe except in the IT department or something... not in the line of duty tho.

Maybe u s. cops might on avg be the worst in the world by country? Unsure

What was that story?, in a pipe, how did that happen?

Only reason I wouldn't wanna be a cop is I fear I'd flip a cruiser. I ain't a bad driver but I don't think I'm high speed chase good

do most of them really do high speed chases frequently?

No but I live in a small town and saw one. Had to get the fuck out of the way so the cop could pursue unhindered. So it happens even in small towns.

were they caught? they were just speeding?

Hell no. I'd never be a cop. I knew since I was young that I'd never want that job.

why would you hate it so much though? isn't the avg pay above avg?

I don't care about the pay. I have no desire to do a potentially dangerous job, and then there's all the unethical stuff American cops do.

Yeah, most of the time you're not going to get into firefights, and there's other positions besides being a beat cop, but no thanks.

Policing isnt nearly as dangerous as they say it is. Delivering pizza is more dangerous.

No. I live in the most criminally active city of my country, we have like 127 cops and that will go down to 90 soon. Meanwhile criminals are becoming more violent. Its a recipe for a bad time.

You like most cops in your area, You wanna say what country this is?

Yeah, dangerous, to or for the cop, kinda sadly

Highway patrol? Maybe. Just driving up and down the LI Expressway wouldn't be that bad.

Other than that, I don't see myself as a cop, unless it was desk work

I prefer to help my community

You've admitted to being a thief

The Netherlands, the southeast region of the country. All the factors that contribute to crime are basically present there: lots of migration in a very racist aging area so theres a divided population and social strife, a region that lost its purpose (mines were closed and that doomed the region to poverty), and borders two neighboring countries so its perfect for drug trafficking.

Assuming I didn't care about pay, I think it'd be interesting to try out for a little bit.

I kind of think it's probably a good thing to have less "stereotypical" people become cops. Be the change you want to see and all that.

Is Sweden and Switzerland by there? Are those 2 much lower in crime, sometimes get those mixed up, 3 countries

Sweden is a few countries north and Switzerland a few countries southwest. Sweden locally has issues with crime too I believe, dont know too much about Switzerland but I cant imagine it being a huge issue there.
