Yea that was hilarious. Damn Tucker Carlson
thats not a protest its a festival or fair or something when its "organized and peaceful"
Where are you getting this from? Just asking because that is a hell of a assumption.
Maybe not undercovers in all cases but agents of some type in most. Everyone is peaceful and here comes two masked guys with brand new trashcans tossing them through windows? And the protesters don't even co-sign such behaviour
Well, didn't solicit how you felt about me did I?
Word.The assumptions some already have here. Undercovers are just going around committing random acts of vandalism
I've actually thought of going into a career with law enforcement lately, especially since I'm getting my degree and can't see myself being in the environment I'm in without being bored out of my mind. Question for OP, I've dabbled with weed in the past a few times. Probably 5-6 times with the longest period being 3 months (not daily, but every other day). I'm more than willing to be honest on my application regarding past drug use because it's like it says, the past. Would that hinder my chances even if I'm honest?
naw most departments dont have quotas in their briefings they might discuss stuff they wanna focus on
1. We take classes in the academy regarding community interactions and cultural diversity. Then we have mandatory refresher courses every so often but the courses vary and only sometimes include a class related to the subject. We have officers whose main job is to focus on community relations and those officers go to community meetings, take care of specific requests made by the community etc. My division often has days allotted, and they are made public, to eat breakfast and have coffee with officers to talk about policing in the community. They give an outlet for people to talk to police but I personally wish the turnout was larger. Most people have never spoken to an officer about issues or feel there are no opportunities to do so events like that are definitely beneficial. They are definitely NOT adequate enough though to counter the problem. What can we do? I try me best to just get out of my car and engage the public in a friendly conversation. Some are receptive to it and then some look at me like I'm just weird. I see other officers I work with doing similar. Baby steps.
I can't speak on this as it's more of an individualized situation. I will say though that I've lied. Not on the stand because thats like the last place you don't want to lie. I'll lie though depending on the situation. The most common is probably when I play dumb when I know the person is going to be arrested and I'm just trying to keep them calm. I know some people are going to read that wrong and think I'm an ***hole for that but it works, the person is going to be arrested anyways, and I'm certain they just lied to my face too. You have to feel the person out though. Every situation is different.
IMO criminals are evil. So if I'm supporting evil to stop evil then does that make me evil? Thats a whole lot of evil. In all seriousness I'm sorry that you feel that way. So should I not do my job to stick it to the evil higher-ups, meanwhile the evil preying on the community get to do whatever? We obviously have different viewpoints and I'm interested in a deeper understanding of yours.
