I don't know about others, I want my police force judged by their worst interactions rather than the majority of their interactions. I want the standards set high enough that all those bad things practically never happen rather than some small regular percentage of ongoing interactions.
- mjfl 9y agoYou want to know what the problem is? No sane person would want to risk their life on a daily basis, wrestle people into their cars against their will on a daily basis, and be subject to the scrutiny you describe in your post, the hatred that is described in other posts, all for a policeman's salary. Literally no sane person would take that deal. Are you about to sign up to be a cop? Hell fucking no.
- JamesBarney 9y agoI think the OP was arguing the police should spend less time wrestling people into their cars against their will.
- fouc 9y agoAren't cops usually highly paid?
- watwut 9y agoExcept that their job is not nearly as dangerous as you make it out to be. The exaggeration of danger and overblown fear are part of problem.
- WillReplyfFood 9y agoYou could say the same thing about a firefighter- and yet they exist. Sorry, if you mistake courage with insanity. Some people have a urge to help that lets them run into the wrong direction. Without that- you would have died in that car-accident you sometimes get flashbacks to. There is a dentist effect here at work- everybody forgets the negative moments in live, everyone forgets about theire dentist until it hurts again. Police and Emergency services are socially isolated due to that effect.
- doktrin 9y agoSo you propose that we pay people to wrestle other people into cars against their will without subjecting them to scrutiny?
- mjfl 9y agoI'm proposing that people like you don't think deeply enough about this problem to solve it.
