Who wants to be a cop these days? They have to take what they can get. And mostly they are folks who probably would be in jail if they weren’t cops.
This is what came of “weeding out the neanderthals in the police department” in the 1970s.
A helluva price to pay for being stylish.
From my perspective most cops have become little more than hired guns and muscle to protect the corrupt who have hijacked government at all levels.
It’s like wanting to join a police department when tyrants/Communist and or a Hitler types are in power. I would never support them by enforcing their punitive laws/mandates etc.
