    I bet if you offered any of these people a job as a police officer, they would stop all of their comments, accept the job, and act like they never said anything against law enforcement.

        Not really. I had Reddit between 2011 and 2024. Most Lemmy users came over from Reddit.

        Anyway, why don’t you apply to work for your local law enforcement office?

          Your account is 19 days old. Why would I go work for a systemically corrupt agency? Do you think that one person can change it?

      Actually no, being an officer is a horrible job, and even where I live, it’s not very well paid.

        Actually check out your state’s or provincial sunshine list. Being an officer pulls in a 6 figure salary when you include the overtime scams they run.

            75 dollars an hour to play on your phone parked outside a construction site. Pretty great deal.

              Ironically, that’s what I’m doing right now, as I’m on break.

              It’s not really a win if the only way to make decent money is to work a huge amount of overtime though, I quite like having a personal life.

                Just claim the overtime and go do whatever you want, whose going to stop you? The enforcers all have your back.

            “Gee, I’d like to join a corrupt gang of psychopathic, neo-Nazi murders, but I do enjoy my free time…”

            So, the only reason you’re not a cop is because you’re lazy?

      Becoming a cop isn’t hard… if any of these people wanted to be a cop they could easily become one but they don’t because they aren’t literall fucking monsters.
