HELL NO! I mean, I've seen the show "Dexter." Who needs to be dealing with that Debra Morgan sh*t! I also know @Prettygurl12 on here; a blonde female cop. She's pretty ruthless as f*ck. Which makes her a great cop, but not someone I'd be comfortable dating (Not that she'd want me; I'd be too short for her anyway). Another cop on here is @Embracethepain.
I'm definitely not on BLM's side, but I don't trust cops either. They seem more like the type that likes hurting people more than protecting them. I don't hate police officers, but I think the only people to trust them are the affluent and wealthy. Which I am most definitely not. I grew up dirt poor, so the police were always are "enemy," even though I was never a criminal.
You know Officer Tenpenny from Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas? Yeah, well imagine that, but in real life. The times stuff actually happened, people knew to call an ambulance, but didn't want any police around whatsoever. They were considered more dangerous than the criminals.
Again, I am very ANTI Black Lives Matter. But sh*t, I come from the real world. I don't trust police officers anymore than I'd trust the Russian military. I'm neutral towards them if they're off-duty, but I know they'd arrest my ass for anything and everything. And well, I like to jaywalk and tear the tags off mattresses.
It’s going to be one of those linked question days lol.
i mentioned in another question a good friend is in CT SFO
We have sort of dated in the past, however we decided on friends rather than serious relationship.
In a previous role within Air Force I interacted with the police etc a fair bit, like any large body of people you have fuckwits, more so when you give some types responsibility and control over others. it just takes 1 crap person in 100 to tarnish everyone, also the media don’t like good news stories.
Short version, yeah I could do it, mainly as I have in the past.
It's not a red flag. It is something though. What is uncovered could either be really good or really bad.
I would not marry a cop. I would not be able to handle the stress and uncertainty of not knowing about his safety every day.
I would date one for a bit though.
I'm not particularly into uniforms. Or public authority figures.
But I like moral. And clearly they risk their lives to protect others, the city, so I'd find that interesting. I''d want to pick his brain to see where, exactly, his head was at. (There are some who are motivated by things that are less than altruistic, so I'd be on the lookout for those too.)
"All straight up jerks"? Nah. They've always been good to me. No surprise there, right. I just don't get hassled. I'm always on the right side of the law, and I do benefit from profiling, honestly.
I would have to know the guy before dating him if he was a police officer. I hear of way too many stories where they are abusive and the girl can’t call the cops or do anything about it. I think there is a higher percent of domestic violence among police officers than other careers.

u At my age, she would either be in a senior management position or retired.
Of course! I'd totally be interested and also flattered by it. Police officers and firefighters: YES, PLEASE!
There are problems with the abuse of power in many modern police departments; I don't think anyone in their right mind would dispute that. But how, exactly, are they going to get better unless good people get involved? An improved sense of community engagement would go a LONG way towards easing the mistrust many communities feel, and help with several related problems besides. Want proof? Ask an American whether Irish people are white.
I probably would have a few reservations about dating a police officer (hardly insurmountable ones, but still), but that's more due to the dangerous nature of the job; I question how well I'd be able to handle knowing that every time she went to work, it could be the last time we spoke.
The only "careers" I see in a bad light are cam girls, instagram "models", "influencers", pro gamers, and other such new age industries. If a girl I met was any of these then it would be a major dealbreaker.
It's really ignorant and unfair that this policing is one of the only careers that get so much negative attention because of some bad cops. What about bad teachers? Bad lawyers? Bad statesmen? Bad nurses? And so on and so on. Literally any position of power has corrupt individuals. I've encountered plenty of wonderful cops. And I've run into a whole lot of corrupt lawyers and nurses who abuse their power.
I would, but they would be my second choice. My first choice of a date would be a military woman. I am a veteran so I would understand her situation. She would understand the "on call" nature of my job. The main reason I would pick a military woman over a police woman is the danger officers face. Yes, the military is more dangerous when the member is deployed to a war zone, but outside of that the military is relatively safe whereas a police officer is in danger every single day from the moment they graduate the academy. An officer is in danger even after the job is done because a criminal who recognizes a cop that collared them will not care if the cop is active or retired. A military woman would be perfect for me because she would understand my job and be tough enough to cope with the sacrifices but would also be in slightly less danger than I would, which mitigates the risk of the kids losing both parents.
Yes, I’m not dating my partners profession, I’m dating her. (Even though sometimes it could feel that way based on the job)
so if I fell in love with an officer I’d have no problems with that.
It’s a tough job and gets a bad rap at times... one of my cousins married an officer and we are good friends, he’s a nice guy.
u I don't think I would be in a relationship with a police woman... but just because of the increased risk of them getting killed and what not... long shifts? night shifts? incredibly high-stress careers?
I already am a bit charged myself on some of those matters, and I am planning to reduce it... lol, I would prefer something more stable and balanced
I think they are interesting as dates to women. I think most women would be attracted to the authority/heroic figure. But when it comes to being husband and wife. LTR etc. issues can arrive. They are not like normal guys who can be held accountable by law in many cases. And also due to their job they may be unavailable at odd times. At night for example etc. Not saying it's all cases. Since they are people and have happy marriages too.
No way. Cops have authority issues. Because of their legal authority and connections, they are dangerous. They have the power to totally fuck you if they want to.
I question authority and don't subscribe to the idea that "the law is the law". I resent enforcers.
I don't like Dudley Do-right types in the first place. But a cop who wasn't a Dudley Do-right would be a criminal hypocrite with power and, therefore, even more dangerous.
Yes.
Few officers have a bad record, the majority are human just like the rest of us. Their job is constantly living human interpretation of the law in the moment.
I know lot of cops male and female. The vast majority are good hard working people that want to serve their communities. The democrats and fake news push the lie that they just want to kill black people. I would date cop if she was nice and was into me.
No as a black man, people already have a negative opinion of black men dating outside of their race but imagine a black men dating a cop. But thats not my personal reason, my personal reason is because of the risk that she has when being a policewomen. The science say women on average are weaker than men and who knows what kinda guys she's gonna be facing out their. I don't want to worry that one day my house is gonna have bullets flying in or something worst, nor do I wanna see her corpse
No, I don't like the fear, need to control, and authoritarianism.
One of the highest divorce/ abuse rates there are. They bring job home with them. Slam you around like a rag doll. My cousin married a cop, didn't last long.
Only higher divorce rate would be military marriages. Because they are gone for long periods of time and Democrats don't want them making even min wage. Democrats hate the military and everything it stands for..
Probably I'd only date a cop who works at a school and actually with the kids they are supervising. As I'd want a partner who's going to be actively thinking about our kid if we have one. And be a direct part of their lives
There is a stereotype among male cops that they tend to be wife beaters
but eh id date a woman cop. Sounds like kinky fun in bed too lol
Sure, dated a game warden before. Just long as he keeps his nose out of my private business
I would. Mostly because people think I look like someone that is a criminal. So when we went out to dinner some place, it would make for a awkward date for people at the same restaurant.
god bless our police. I back the blue. Be honored to date a police officer
i dated a policewoman for a while a few years back... she was cool as fuck but here in the uk police aren't quite the same as cops in the states
