I can't get a job for long lapses of employment in my resume but a cop booted out of the military and has DUIs under his belt gets hired.
Meanwhile I'm out here excited for a dish washing job interview.
God this American meritocracy shit is proven wrong every fucking day. It would be funny if I wasn't affected by the actions of the US.
besides like state police and fed shit, law enforcement agencies have embarrassingly poor investigative capacity. one would imagine they might put some points into their hiring protocols just to preserve their own institution from public embarrassment, but it's easier to become a cop than to get a job working for a mid-sized business.
I would not be surprised if several PDs have hired guys with active warrants in nearby jurisdictions.

Conservatives like to complain about black gangs or communities not cooperating with cops and hating snitches, but no one likes snitches regardless if they’re valuable, and that includes cops. Internal affairs snooping around is already putting those IA cops in danger, and the snitch will die in a training accident a few weeks later.
Not to mention, public embarrassment doesn’t mean anything when your members are protected by their colleagues and the courts, and tax payers pay the victims instead of the department. And then the city will reward them with military tech each year. There is almost no downside to being a thief or murderer as a cop unless you’re very reckless or abuse a connected person.

Schools and churches shift around pedophiles to different districts, so a cop isn’t too far off.
You have to really really be a fuckup to get booted from the military. Like their whole deal is "yeah, we can work on them" with a guy who eats toothpaste by the tube or thinks Azimuth is where his World of Warcraft characters live. Sure, they'll never make a career out of it but the army can figure out where to put a dumbass for 3-5 years.
When you fail as an Army mechanic and your next step in the career path is police officer and after getting booted from that sliding into sheriff's deputy is just so much 
shit.
Getting a job as a sheriff just means you prove your racism quotient score was very high
I think the actual requirements are lower as well.
Isn’t it an elected position? You can just run in a tiny town and don’t tell anyone you’re running then boom you’re the sheriff
Sheriff is elected, Deputies are their henchmen.
i hate how normal this dude looks. at least the trump voter looked like an incel freak.
this is the guy in front of you in the grocery store line. just ready to murder people.
we need a total and complete shut down of white people until we can figure out what the hell is going on.
The skull tatoos on his arms are a bit of 
psycho shit
He’s had SIX jobs as a cop since 2020. Fucking on par with UK prime ministers.
Would be good to see what this class was teaching. There are a few that teach terrible lessons.
If it’s like every other police academy, it’s just playing montages of cops and people getting gunned down during and having their screams of agony play out in full volume. And they just keep replaying it clockwork orange style until they internalize that they are at wars with savages when they leave their suburb
Wow that video is insane. He shot her for no reason. Why did the pigs enter the house in the first place?
She called the cops herself because a stranger in her neighborhood was menacing her. They knocked on her door.
They killed her claiming she was gonna throw hot water on them. From 15 feet away across the room. She was on the floor when he shot her.
I hate America
My local council offered me free SIA training (security). I did a bit of research to see if it was worth doing. Turns out the low level security industry is desperate for workers (not so desperate that they'll pay people more though), so they pretty much take anyone. Doesn't matter if you've got a long list of violent crime on record.
Not cops, I know, but similar deal. In many ways your proclivity for violence and so on is a positive.
