If I was a cop I’d stand back. Why bother ???
.
Exactly; like public school teachers it is employment for life after you get a little seniority (since layoffs are last in/first out), and like teachers performance is meaningless - the raises keep coming. Also, few cops (or other government employees) have skills in demand in the private sector.
The only place cops are accountable is in the surrounding areas where those being protected are actually paying for it (and therefore demand results); the residents of the welfare hives don’t pay a red cent in taxes anyway, so they don’t get protection. My town, with plenty of property crime but little violent crime, has seen its cops really start earning their pay since Wal-Mart opened here a few years back. It is a magnet for thieves from Newark, and the cops may as well build a substation in the parking lot.
If I was a young man in this environment I would get out. I would leave tomorrow and never look back. I would never sign up for another government plan ever again and I would move on with my eyes open and grab opportunities as they came. Of course, ghetto talk won’t work and a positive attitude is absolutely required. This is a plan for self starter individuals and will work.
