Surprised any police are left in liberal cities.
@@LadieKatie because the criminals are out within hours with no bail, no consequences. It must be frustrating. And they are leaving liberal states because of this and the hate towards them.
Could argue they have more balls than those in conservative cities.
I left after several years of service with large agencies. I could deal with the dangers associated with the job but what I couldn’t deal with is how horribly the departments treat their cops. There’s a lot of politics and corruption in the higher levels for sure. Whether or not you have a job depends a lot on the Facebook courts or public opinion. The job is not worth the peanuts you’re paid or what you have to deal with. A TON of great honest cops I know, myself included left the profession. I feel bad for the citizens more than anything. They’re the ones that truly suffer.
Cry me a river. I've never seen any profession lie more than the cops. The profession is not honorable because you have police officers that get away with murder and all kinds of other crap. "we've investigated ourselves and found no wrong doing". I'm glad nobody wants to join the taxpayer paid street gang.
It's an easy job, try running a business with 100 employees depending on you, they just don't like having to be held accountable..
Who wants to work at a place when you are now being hated
They earned the hate. People don't hate firemen.
@@TonyStone3000 they earned the hate by arresting your violent criminal friends. But it’s ok, cuz liberals get triggered over violent criminals and repeat offenders facing justice
@@TonyStone3000 Imagine being so out of touch that you generalize police officers.
@@Mr.Plutonium If there really were good cops, bad cops wouldn't exist. The entire profession is crap. Imagine seeing cop after cop getting caught in lies and still licking boots.
For those of you who do decides to go LE please ensure that they don’t hold you to “conditional hiring” that has a time frame clause. I say this because say within a year of you being hired and completing the academy another department will offer you more money for the same position, you decide to leave, and now your department is wanting you to reimburse the city for having trained you and unless you reimburse them you’re not to practice LE until the expiration of you Basic Peace Officer’s License
Just sounds like an American thing
Good people don't pursue narcissistic jobs that terrorize & extort taxpayers while financially destroying people's lives and killing people and pets for state profit and a paycheck...
There's an old saying, you can polish a turd but it's still a,... (Morally good people would be ashamed to be a cop!)
QUALIFIED IMMUNITY: "MUST be ABOLISHED" .....!
Only narcissists become police people and all cops know this to be a fact!!! (But they lie!)
One incentive should be a promise to get rid of all your psychopaths in the department.
If any good cops existed there would be no bad cops!
@@mcdonaldscheeseburgeryumidiot
What did it for me was when i heard that police rank #1 in sucide rates out of all other occupations.
Go where you are appreciated.
It would be wise to investigate the amount of questionable disability claims by the police...I have.
You're onto something lol.
And are you a disability expert who can determine a legit disability from one that's not?
@@user-fp7ds5sy4w his suggestion is actually pretty good. Cops need the public to snoop into their personal lives. They shouldn't have room to breathe. The noose is tightening.
there trying to build a prison for you and me!
I don't do the crime then I dont do the time ----- I do the crime then I do the time
@@Oedipussy_Monkey Plenty of wrongfully convicted people in prison.
Nyc is that cheap?
Automate policing like everything else. GPS speed control in cars, end temp tag loopholes and annual inspections. Then the budget can go towards actual policing.
@@usr21882 Smartphones already got that covered and nobody rioted over that.
@@annoyedok321riiiiight
Hmmm, force cars to follow the speed limits? Red light cameras and speed cameras work well, so you may have a very good idea there. Cars are already computerized.
ALAMEDIA HERE I COME
Sucks i couldnt join because of a gastrointestinal issue.
Sucking boots can do that to you.
@@checkoutmyyoutubepageBlm is the biggest corporate bootlicking movement even known
Judging by your past comments, there would’ve been other issues that stopped you from joining anyways.
I treat people badly if they join law enforcement. Everyone should. Shunned.
How long were you in prison
@@user-fp7ds5sy4w never been, not even jail.
@@user-fp7ds5sy4w I'm mad because they treat all of us like terrorists. They were trained to do so in the 1980s. Several people exposed this during the 2020 protests. A British member of Parliament even lost their position heading a committee because they exposed the Mossad US police training guidelines placed in the 1980s.
Spoken like a true Biden voting criminal. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Leftist clowns are so funny.
@@user-fp7ds5sy4w😂😂
i can sense n that he is bottom through the screen
If a city has bad Cops they ALSO have a bad Mayor, Attorney General and Governor usually. Bad cops don't just show up, they are taught. I saw good cops try and get reassigned to like the courthouse checking bags etc as they seemed to be concerned about illegal stuff and they wanted distance from criminal acts of cops.
I admire and support Policemen and Women for their efforts in a most challenging time in which we now live. Lack of support from top management has severely damaged the" morale" of many officers. Sure more money will help recruiting but" retaining officers" is a more challenging task.
It's more like a lack of support from defund the police democrats. But there the first little b%÷@hes to cry for help
The main issue is bad people in positions of power and authority. Stats show that PD nation wide are to blame for lawsuits and that's not taking into account city elected officials.
@@frankcastle5737lawsuits are not really a big issue. They've been happening for a long time and there's already funding in place for that. Police agencies have to carry and we'll always have liability insurance. Problem is lack of support from the community. People just don't want to get into the job. A buddy of mine is a recruiter for a large agency in Tennessee and it's the number-one reason people say they don't want to do it. It's not the pay, they make very good money.
Less risk, more money.... obviously
😢😮😮
If you're a rabid sociopath you're the perfect candidate...
Yes, rabid sociopaths make great Democrat clowns, but what does that have to do with police officers?
@@annabellelee4535 ...well, police officers are sociopathic pigs 🐖 to begin with !
Border patrol tried this and it went terribly. Huge incentive to create an influx of new officers. That influx breeds corruption, making more of those with experience leave.
Which makes sense. If they were so poorly handled they were short staffed, theres not real reason why they should be expected to handle it properly when more people do sign up.
Time for us to support the police officers instead of those stupid rioters.Police Lives Matter!
You’re stalking about riots that happened 3 years ago. What riots are you talking about?
🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
They have all this money for new salaries, yet won't commit to MH funding?
Taxpayers demand bad cops pay out of their own pockets for unlawful actions against innocent victims, even into their pensions!
Victims seek the same inflicted financial hurt and costly pains upon bad cops! (Taxpayers want bad-cops broke, not the state!)
It's shamefully wrong for "State Taxpayers" to accept the financial burdens and financial punishments on behalf of dishonorable bad police people!) ...
- QUALIFIED IMMUNITY: "MUST" be ABOLISHED" ...!
Become a welder. Don’t do it guys
officers that considered themselves good looked the other way for their blue line partners. now thats being exposed they want no part of it so they go elsewhere. offering incentives with our money i have a problem with. train officers correctly to work with the citizens they serve and get rid of the ones that wont. imo that money is better spent helping the people that live in those cities and towns.
I was an officer for a big-city up until the George Floyd incident. I work with a good group of guys and there really wasn't a lot of corruption or anything like that. Just good guys who enjoyed coming to work and helping the community. After the riots, we were treated like crap by the community and a lot of us left. I went back to college and got into the medical field and trust me, I see way more corruption in that than I ever thought about in law enforcement. I was always good to people and when they turned on me, I no longer wanted to do the job. Since my certification is still good, I get job offers from agencies all the time but not going back to that. I'm a person, if people want to watch the news and come to conclusions before they've even met me and then have me show up on a call so they can yell and scream at me about how racist I am, I don't want no part of that. Some of the greatest officers I worked with I have left now and they're doing things like real estate, no somebody working for funeral homes, no some that are working in the medical field as well. It's so funny that just by changing the job they get treated completely different by the public even though they're the same people.
@@user-zm6yh3ux7l im sorry to read this. the sad thing is bad cops ruined it for good cops like you. i hope you remain happy with your new career. but maybe youll find a good dept. thats makes you want to back and help people.
@@goblinzl1 wasn't the cops, it was the public. People are nasty and insensitive even when you try to help them. No, I won't do that again. If our country ever goes back to the way it was in the 90's maybe but that's not gonna happen.
@@user-zm6yh3ux7l yes i deal with the public for work and in general people are rude and disrespectful.
Spoken like a true Biden voting criminal!
🐖
Even though I was at rock bottom in my life I could have easily become a cop it would have taken me 90 days to be one, but I decided against it because there was literally anything else in this world that I could be. So I got into legal cannabis and I haven't worked a 40 hour week in 8 years. Aslo, as a cherry on top, my wife used to married to a Denver sheriff. Now his daughter calls me dad.
you're a faliure. you should've joined to bring honor, but you did something only a coward would do.
Yeah gonna call bs
You couldn't pass the exam let alone the training, you poor leftist
Lol I lived in Palm Springs for ten years and the only thing bad that might happen to the cops there is all the guys want to kiss them. Unless they like that then, we’ll you know
Not true. They deal with gang activity all the time. Yes in Palm Springs
Pretty sure you want to kiss him. Not there’s anything wrong with that
@@joegug4751 He is a very nice guy!!
First
I think the popular comments are: treat the citizens with respect, dignity and honor. Just saying instead of throwing money away invest in more training.
What kind of training would you like? Like on demolition man
Cant make a silk purse from a pigs ear.
@@johnnyreb8030 mmmmkay🤔
Welp treat people fair n u wouldn’t have this problem 😂
Maybe you should call your social worker the next time you need help right away.
@@Apogge_kingspolice are not there to help you, only after the fact. They aren't not civil servants but domestic terrorists. We don't like Terrys around here. Anyone would be more useful.
@@Apogge_kingsexactly
Riiiiiiight and what is "fair"?
@@TheBigShoe1911idiot
Seeing as a being a police officer requires less training than a McDonald's manager...I'm sure we'll "the cream of the crop"
Training had gone downhill because of Democrats wanting a "more diverse" background by employing hires who were minority checkboxes. They lack intelligence or physical ability.
Crying about how the questions are too hard for inner city applicants and unfair. The PT test was unfair to those who had conditions thar made them "plus sized'.
Good luck on getting robbed as Officef Minority Quota will come save you in 3-5 bussiness days
McDonald's Managers are way better!
I don't work as a street cop anymore. I left and went back to college but I would have to disagree. I thought the training was good. I was in the military before that and I thought law enforcement training was much better. Went back to college to get in the medical field in law enforcement training was also better than what I got in the medical field. The academy I went to last about a year and then after that, you're on strict supervision by field training officer until they think you're ready to be on your own. It was very stressful. They doing the valuation on you everyday and then turn it over to upper administration. There were people with master's degrees that barely make it through the academy and some people didn't. Wasn't the academics, it was a scenario training they struggled with. I would encourage anybody who thinks the training sucks to go through it themselves. The reason I got out was the low pay and stress. Not worth it. Got shot at right out of the academy making about $35,000 a year. Of I got killed in the line of duty, my wife would get 250,000 and no husband to help with the family.
@@user-zm6yh3ux7l I would like to know the name of the city you worked in as a cop, that requires its police force be in training for a year with strict supervision after the year. Please tell what city or town that is? I'd like to move there. Serious, where were you a cop?
Yeah one of those incentives is a free labotomy and a copy of my Mein Kamph great stuff huh.
hahahahaha
