I just wish I knew why so many cops are egomaniacs It's like gang nonsense, the dumbest shit could be interpreted as disrespect then they fly off the handle Imagine if you will, waking up at 3am, 10 days in a row to go to a job you respect but people dont respect you. You wake up every morning with a sense of pride, I get to keep people safe today. However, ten minutes into your shift you pull over someone speeding. They hate you for it, you ruined their morning and they talk down to you. This is most of your day. Then, you get to write out reports about every person you pulled over and was a ass to you.

DemonBuffet 06/03/20 8:47:50 PM #68:	Eh its a complicated issue at this point. The entry to being a cop is very easy, but recruitment is an ongoing problem and its gonna be worse in the months to come. Plus most people dont attend college with ambitions of being a beat cop where you are mostly hated and wrestling with piss soaked hobos because they wont leave private property. Making it so it required a college degree and iq test will surely weed out many racist assholes like Chauvin, but recruitment will be nearly impossible.! --- Trololol <cite>DemonBuffet posted [p:940146686] in Is it too ...

asiacatdogblue 06/03/20 8:51:22 PM #69:	Solid Snake07 posted... 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 Surgeons, Firefighters, Pilots, Farmers, Janitors... All important jobs that help change the world. All that make society function. They're difficult(sometimes life-threatening), unrewarding(sometimes), and don't get much respect from society. Succeeding in life is never an easy task. You have to fight for your life to gain that. And even then, it's only temporary. Sometimes, success can turn on you, inflate your ego, and screwing over everything. Many jut want the easy way out(or the Coward's Way Out?). To some, it's more fun and easier to be the villain than it is to be the hero. Know what I mean? <cite>asiacatdogblue posted [p:940146840] in Is it too ...
