you need a high school education to function in life, if you cant get through high school, good luck with anything challenging

If I was a cop, I'd bust all of the corrupt ones! I'll clean up the office & the streets.

@BEHOLDtheGUNNER So how do we get to internal affairs? Are we any good by the time we get there or are we like a dirty napkin and gray stressed and disgusted by then or quit the crapness due to immoral corruption?

@Fire4FX While the government makes more mess on the streets?? Hmmm one bucket of water out and 10 buckets flood throughout he back door back into the canoe no thanks to the CON artist Government in this pawn show to the unaware. Trust? Me too!

@pathway. It's not so much about kissing ass it's knowing whose ass to kiss. Trying kissing a little ass and maybe you won't be working at the dock for the rest of your life. As for the latter part of your comment 1) I told gay bullies to fuck off and keep it moving 2) my penis is little but i still get chicks 3) I CHOSE this profession over everything else. Now go back to the dock and move some shit for 8 bucks an hour.

without even thinking about it, i'd say the immediate pro is dealing with the hooligans and criminals. that can't be fun! first they're out causing drama

then when u go to arrest them, it's difficult because

1, sometimes they're high or drunk

2, sometimes they don't listen

3, sometimes they try and get away

4, sometimes they try and steal your weapons

NOT COOL !!!

@1982FMJ yeah isn't it dumb. every job you try to apply at. they don't want old people will will break their backs. they want *young* cute, white males. it's pathetic the whole experience thing. no body was born with super powers, everyone has to start somewhere. where do we start if no body gives us a chance? the beginning spots are the worst jobs ever like customer service and fast food. i'd say the restaurant business as a whole has way too much drama.

@Fire4FX

No you wouldn't...It's beyond the power of a standard beat patrol officer. that job is for Internal affairs and marshals, but your heart is in the right place =]
