Cloaca du jour 2,126 Posted March 25 Why would anyone be a cop? They have to lower the standards just to get people to show up. What a miserable thankless job. Teachers will be in the same boat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,396 Posted March 25 Not sure what the clip is about, but back in the day, fitness and cognitive requirements for becoming a police officer were lowered because not enough minorities and women could pass them. The result was a small handful of women and minorities got jobs but a huge amount of bad white people did too. The thing is, when you lower requirements to give more opportunity to lesser qualified people, the net result is a substantial increase in people you don't want, getting in.

You get to be a part-time employee, make full-time wages, an awesome pension, awesome medical benefits, and you still get to complain about how little you make.

TheNewGirl 1,193 Posted March 25 Not only fitness tests, but parents are literally teaching VERY VERY young children that ALL cops are b@stards. I saw a recent FB post that parents won't let their children watch Paw Patrol. A cartoon about little doggies and kittens that are cops. These are toddlers being told that LEOs, or any uniformed person really is bad. Why would you want to be a cop knowing that the future generations are being taught that you're not there to help anyone ever at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ohio has none of that...that was ohio 30yrs ago...now retirement sucks...no health care. Btw..teachers are contract employees...not salaried.

Hardcore troubadour 14,165 Posted March 26 On large police departments you could always hide the mostly useless female cops and other slackers inside. Now those departments are overrun with them and there’s not enough inside spots to hide them anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I hear, you just have to teach, but accept that you don't have an opinion when it comes to the union. It's the liberal agenda all the way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Voltaire 4,972 Posted March 26 In Leticia James' New York, they just recycle these guys back onto the street where the general public and police have to deal with them over and over and over again. Meanwhile, a guy who did nothing wrong but belongs to a political party she doesn't like gets her full attention. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some bad apples that ruin it for all the good ones but the loud idiots on the side against them yell loud enough and post enough stupid videos that they can get people to buy into the ideas they want to sell. Clearly it works for both sides to create some fake big bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
