Would you ever join the police force?

[V4valiant]

[lightbulb27]

I would work in non duty positions. I'd even volunteer possibly. I'd go out and zap speeders and crazy drivers and people with illegal cars to get them off the road.

I would not want to deal with the trouble makers in general, and in general, police don't either. That's a special calling...

[exitseven]

I am too old but I had a couple of opportunities to become a cop and I took the firefighters exam as well. Today i would say no. It's not the same job that it was,

[V4valiant]

That's true it's not

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

[tnttlc]

i dont know they re branded as a police service because force sounded to aggressive. i like the stronger options as they have the power to do something about a problem

[V4valiant]

Do your research people have been blown over by water hoses from fire trucks, police, they sick dogs on kind beings just for having an opinion on how their life should be carried out in the United States.

[tnttlc]

im in the uk, they arrest people for hurty words

[V4valiant]

They do that here it's called a terrorist threat. It's a federal crime

[KimmySchmit]

No. Its underpaid, under appreciated profession that asks too much.

[Cyfris]

If I had been able to obtain a student loan I would be one right now.

[V4valiant]

I'm not one because I had a gun case but I beat the case... and I realized that I don't want to be a bully looking at everyone's private parts with a flashlight.

[Cyfris]

Can't say I have ever had an officer inspect my privates with a light before.. Guess I am not as good looking as I thought...

[V4valiant]

Shit it doesn't take much

[Cyfris]

I've tried with this lady officer here many times and she just doesn't want to play cops and robbers.

[V4valiant]

Lmao

[V4valiant]

Have you ever asked what her favorite drink was

[Cyfris]

The stuff I have said to this lady should have had me locked up twice. I even promised to resist arrest , Offered to rest her knee on my neck and everythang.. nothin

[V4valiant]

Ok you were clearly drunk lol

[Cyfris]

Nah bro I called them. A homeless guy camping on the beach near by the business I was running was harrassing the girls I had working for me. But when she showed up I was blown away by her looks.. I asked if she was a strippergram from the boys. When I realized she was actually an officer I was already in too deep to pull out so I just went with the bit. Her partner was in tears laughing and her face was so red it could have stopped a car for two reasons.

[DryGermanGuy]

I had two or three offers (state/federal) but I didn't like the conditions (esp. income).

[V4valiant]

Real shit 💯 good job.

[DonaldDarko]

No I'm too spazzy for that kind of work. I don't pay attention. I never went in the military for the same reason. I think I have dissociative disorder from childhood trauma.

[KostasKouvalis]

Never. I would be too lenient. Also, I have criminals in my family and if you're a cop and your wife commits a crime, you have to turn her in and sever all contact with her! Fuck that! That goes against my very morals.

[WindAtMyBack]

No, it's a thankless job. You spend all day, every day, dealing with people who hate you and might even want to kill you. No thanks.

[Cleatchaser1]

I'm really not seeing an upside to possibly dying every day when I go to work

[Anonymous]

No. I’m not a tough person both mentally and physically.

[Opinion Owner]

Also most criminal are males and males on average are physically stronger than females. It’s probably better for the police force to employ men. Physical strength is very important when it comes to working in the police force.

[msc545]

I can do so as a negotiator, and thereby prevent violence.

[msc545]

Other than that, I would not be a police officer. It's too difficult a job, and there is too much potential for violence.

[Jeff51]

I thought about it a long time ago but didn't

[Dargil]

I was an MP in the army. Does that count?

[V4valiant]

Yep..

[fish5505_87]

Not in today's world!

[V4valiant]

Yea 👍🏾

[Agape93]

Fuck no

[V4valiant]

Yes, I will never get paid to pull over citizens. Just looking for goods and drugs which they might not have just to give them a truck violation without and let's not talk about the court process searching up your butt in a line of other men or women searching their butt for contraband before they're even convicted just for pay...

[Agape93]

Shit if nothing else, I don't fuck with tyrants and cops are tyrants.

[V4valiant]

You right but it's so much bigger than that

[Zionne]

yeah, maybe just 5-10 years

[Pterodon]

Why not?

[V4valiant]

The one cop that talked to me told me, ,"why wouldn't you want to join the cops. Once you join, you are set for life."
That's the same thing the gangs told me when they wanted me to join the hood. It didn't sound right to me

[Pterodon]

I’m a vet. As far as some perks and free medical I feel I’m set for life

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Fuck no

[jahaims]

Nope
