I want to be a cop soooooooo baaaaaaaad.

And it's so tempting. I could get paid $18/hr to go to police academy very soon. I could get paid more than ever in my life, just to get educated on how to do my dream job. But so many people would hate me just for wearing a badge and I might get shot purely for that reason. Not even by a bank robber or a terrorist. Just by someone who doesn't like cops. It sucks.

Just don’t be a dick and you should be fine. People will respect you more and appreciate you when you’re nice
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart You didn't hear about that cop recently who got shot for no reason?
@SinlessOnslaught Who shot them?
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart I don't remember, and finding the info would be hard because news outlets don't care to report it. But it's happened far more than once. People have stalked and executed officers for defending themselves.
@SinlessOnslaught It shouldn’t be that way people should just stop being cowards and stop targeting police officers. But you have to remember that because of one bad cop all cops are deemed bad. I don’t agree with it but I do understand that there needs to be better training or nothings gonna change. Cops are gonna continue to being targeted.
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart We don't need better training. We need better people, both inside and outside the force.

Anyway, point is, I wanna be a cop but I can't.
@SinlessOnslaught yes, y’all need better training. If you can’t see that well all I can say is good luck out there. Don’t piss off the wrong person
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart You and I both agree that a lot of cops could be better. We just don't agree that the training is the problem.
@SinlessOnslaught training is literally the root of the problem I see. I could literally be a cop and I have issues 💀, they’ll hire anybody because they desperately need more cops. I see it in my area. Bad or good, there’s cops on the force who aren’t mentally ready to handle real life situations. In fact, most of them are trained to see everybody as criminals. That’s just the mindset that comes with it. They’re all out looking for crime. And anybody they come across is a potential criminal/suspect and not a human. You can’t deny that sh!t
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart Okay you have a point.
@SinlessOnslaught you’re gonna do great out there tho. Not to sound cheesy or anything but follow your dreams! I think you’ll be a good cop and you will bring so much change in this world.
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart Awww thanks. But I don't think I'm gonna do it.
@SinlessOnslaught People’s minds are slowly changing. I mean to be honest I used to be a cop hater. But I’ve met sooooo many good ones in my life, I just can’t overlook that. I refuse to think of them as all bad. I just wish the media would show more positive interactions that cops have with their communities.
@TurtleEclipseOfTheHeart I appreciate that but I think your change of heart goes against the grain.
