Considering the war on cops for the last several years, I’m surprised anyone wants the jobs.
Here in NJ, cops (along with public school teachers and firemen) are our new upper middle class since so many good jobs left.
Cops minimize confrontation by just parking and scanning license plates; they then ticket those flagged for expired registrations.
A lot of white guys lost interest when they were kept behind blacks & women on hiring lists.
Not just that big cities want only black candidates, and you must live insides the expensive crime riddled city limits. Memphis is the crime capitol of TN, they are 400 LEO short, if you are white you need not apply, promotion for being white are virtually nil. Over half the black population have been incarcerated so don’t meet qualifications. As to promotions, they are under educated compared to their white counter parts. They don’t study. Racism is always the cause though. You can go to a straight number system no names used, it is still racism they didn’t get the promotion, not that they failed the Eval tests.
