Is it too easy to become a cop?
Vote
Yet to become a cop, it takes a high school degree and police academy (usually 3-8 months). Oh, and most police departments pay you while youre in the Academy. Yet police are in control of ALL the other professions in the country. If the law is broken in any profession, ultimately its the police who have to arrest those who break laws. Hmm. Interesting. I think this definitely needs to be the second step, after direct police reform to address police misconduct. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA ... Copied to Clipboard!

Maybe, but it's also a neccessary job that most people don't want to do and pays very little considering that fact.

Maybe make it a profession people actually respect, and more people will want to do it? Imagine cops needing a college degree. Thatd be wild. --- !!!!!!!!! https://imgur.com/DzJSPWA ...

I don't know, but I'm not sure how adding steps to the process would help much. Being willing to use unnecessary force isn't exactly something you can test for.

Plenty of people do respect it and appreciate the police for doing the difficult job they have and keeping communities safe. And I don't think the qualities that make someone a good cop can be teached in a classroom years after their core character has already been set. It's a public service job that doesn't pay very well and is a really difficult job. Quite frankly the vast majority of people don't have the character and temperment to be good at a job where they're placed in a position of authority and control over others day in and out. A bachelor or associate's degree isn't gonna change that --- "People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time" -Detective Rust Cohle ... Copied to Clipboard!

Its also easy to commit crime, especially in the inner cities where it is more prevalent. Theres bad apples everywhere, thats why police exist to begin with. Bad cops arent trained to be bad cops, those ones are bad people abusing power. Same as a criminal committing a crime, thats a bad person simply because that specific person is bad, not their race.

Thatd be wild.Most cops like myself with a college degree move on to detective really fast. Being a cop is awful, no one likes getting pulled over, no one likes having cops show up for a complaint made by neighbors. Very few times is upholding the law a pleasant experience. And the pay is shit, most cops have to work second jobs. I was a cop and worked retail on the side for instance. Shit pay risk your life every shift most people hate you i wonder why theres so few applicants Ask yourself, would you go to college, keeping in mind the cost of college, to seek out a job that pays shit and requires you to put your life on the line every day? I may as well join the armed forces. --- Jive Turkey ... Copied to Clipboard!

Ive already responded. Infantry is a no brain job with no requirement. That being said. I did a deployment. That being said, less than 40 percent of the military has actually been deployed. Less than 1 in 10 have seen combat. Im pretty sure I have been shot at more times in 4 years than the average military member. Not sure how many active shooters has he been in, hes always been a sad poster though. Let me know when the last time he applied a band for a sucking chest wound and seen someone die bleeding out in the middle of the street
