MODERATORS
I wonder if these cops support raising the minimum wage.
I'd be a cop for that. A good one that doesn't just look for reasons to murder.
You mean actual community policing?
Wooooooah....hey now, don't go crazy!
Yeah, except I know plenty of people who have gone into policing bright eyed and idealistic. Your coworkers are regular police who reinforce every bad thing you hear about.
None of those people in question lasted
Only good cops get fired and outcasted.
I mean in fairness, our local McDonald's is paying 16-18 an hour... So getting 22 to do a job that most people wouldn't want to do and forces you to deal with people you'd normally try to avoid, doesn't sound like a hard ask.
Are you talking about working at mcdonalds or being a cop?
Yes.
