Unless one wanted to shuffle around and ignore crime, show up late and back 500 feet from anything serious, work 20 and retire with a generous pension. Blue cities are filling their police ranks with affirmative hires doing just that.
Awhile back I watched a YouTube video of some guy on a New York City sidewalk talking to two young NYPD cops.
The conversation was polite. But both of the cops sounded like they were mentally challenged. It really surprised me. Perhaps that’s all New York can get to sign up these days.
