Well.  It’s not a surprise that for a shit load of them the appeal of the job basically begins and ends with the badge and gun.  
 

I guess the OT and pensions are nice too. 

Yea this is dumb.

You know what you don’t hear enough of?  Police officer fired.  It feels like there are more police officers arrested than police officers fired.  Shouldn’t we see a lot more of them fired before they get to the point of being on trial for murder?

Wait, what? It should be both.

Yes I’m not saying don’t arrest them, I’m saying if an officer shows a history of being violent he needs to be fired.

You would think this would be an easy decision.

Union protection or poor leadership inside the police force?

I’m pretty sure “fired” doesn’t get the clicks the media wants

Those two officers have been suspended, and 57 have resigned from the emergency response team (not from the police department) to show their disagreement with the suspensions. And that right there is all you need to know about how out of touch all those officers are.

They should fire all 59 and if the police union stops it the mayor should go on television explaining how the union did not allow them to remove these unfit cops from their rosters.

And millions of mouth breathers who treat the police like gods.

No, I don’t think public perception has anything to do with it.  If a bad cop gets fired for ongoing issues, no one is going to lose their shit about it.

Officers with a history of violence should be fired.

Problem is they just end up getting hired at a different police force.

No they don’t.  If you get fired from a civil service job, it’s extremely difficult to get another one.  I’m not saying it’s impossible, but it’s very difficult.

And if you were fired for a criminal reason, it’s impossible.

I am enjoying the libs being anti union. Unions gained a lot of power by eliminating centralized secret ballot voting.
