Did the oinkster just move from Uvalde, Texas?
If you’re a cop, and you can swim, you HAVE signed on for saving the lives of drowning suicide victims AND perhaps, taking a bullet in an effort to SAVE LIVES!
Can’t speak to US cop salaries, but Calgary cops START at $68K /year, rising to $104K /year, after 5 years. Not a bad salary, starting out, especially after a 2 year community College programme.
Of course, with how so many of the authorities (at least in Canada) ignored basic laws and civil rights, most of the good cops took early retirement. Most of the ones that are left, have little integrity, it’s all about a good paycheck and avoiding ALL risk. No wonder that ‘Barney’ chose to just let the guy die.
“you HAVE signed on for saving the lives of drowning suicide victims”
NOPE! Heck, there is no guarantee a cop can swim. At least, not in Phoenix! And for a marginal swimmer to jump in and try to save a bigger guy? Pretty close to suicide. No cop signs up to die for nothing.
Totally different from an active shooter.
