  • @mrmosiris you just described internal affairs

  • Military pay 12k starting out. My cities pd 51k starting. I'm going to be a cop. Yea!

  • @tmixx I respect your position, comrade, even if I disagree (based on what I know). I ask a question to you, comrade.

    Would you abolish the police? (US? Worldwide?)

    Please do answer if you have the time and are interested.

  • if there were any “good cops” as I am quite sure you think you are they (YOU) would be arresting the bad cops. Why is it that (they) YOU don’t?

    COPS are just a 5-YEAR OLD WITH A GUN. The real Police Creed is “TO PUNISH AND ENSLAVE” not to protect and serve! YOU are just a REVENUER for the courts period!!

  • killacrossover, did I miss something? I'm a 30 year vet, I've worked two different cities, and for the State in law enforcement as well.. The money sucks, you better wanna do this flat out, that's all that will keep you going, not the money.

  • @SNORE664619 i was thinking that too but i thoughtt army police were all fighting for something and our rights to make the country safe. plus i heard u die faster in the army :(

  • @MrSuperchargers go to college, master in criminology or criminal justice. graduate get your degree and apply to the police station. having a degree helps alot with pay

  • im 15, i want to be a police officer but i dont know how to study for it, if any police officers could let me know maybe something that could help me study or train, ect. id appreciate it, thnx

  • @theknifekid they dont hate yall but you gotta realize all the bullshit calls they get from pissed off people.... and the fact people arnt very nice every time they show up
