I am surprised we have anyone willing to be a police officer at this time.

Good luck to these guys!

If they got rid of their tyrants they have now in their military style policing then maybe they would have a decent force! Their deescalation training is a joke and so are their Gestopo recruiting!

Hope for a few good men and women to serve the public 🙏 more power to each and every one of them

Love how they are immediately trying to intimidate those people. It's not the military and it's sad to see the real reason we are getting militant self absorbed ego driven police. This is also why the only way to tell them from the military now is the gear color. They wear all black it's really fitting. Gotta go get that revenue for the state kids.

You sound smart.

[@deborahnooneleftbehind9651]

Truth!

No no and no

They need to put more focus on de-escalation and dealing with ppl with mental issues.
Oh, and don't forget to tell them their job is to "protect and serve." I've heard cop say that's not what they're for, but it's all over their vehicles.
