I honestly don't know who ever wanted to be a cop. I know I would never want the job.

My friend just became a cop. In a small rural town with zero black people.

Its a difficult profession, made more so by people like Chauvin. However, theres no other career where you can positively affect a community.

The good outweighs the bad, for the most part, but the bad will take its toll.

If you have a decent support system, its easier to deal with the vitriol, the constant death and loss and absence of humanity you witness.

But its not an easy choice to join this field, and it shouldnt be. Anyone entertaining the idea of law enforcement should understand what all that encompasses beforehand.

Lots of people, I imagine. Or just as many as before this incident, I should say. Dealing with hatred and negative press comes with the territory for a lot of career paths. People persevere.

That doesn't even make sense. It's not some glamorous job with huge paychecks. It's a job of long hours, dangerous situations, and steadily shrinking public support.

guess it depends. in Chicago they pay pretty well, and the guys I knew who were interested were working shitty minimum wage jobs.

Not enough imo. With how much time I spent away from home and hours wide. Plus, Im always getting phone calls or subpoenas on off days. My rate right now for 4th year is 32.00, Ill cap off at 41.0 or so on my 10th year. I think I made like 80 something before taxes this year
