When he's right, he's right.
He actually gave you props.Soory, I cannot watch him. He kind of creeps me out
Me, personally? Where abouts in the video?He actually gave you props.
I'm not gonna watch the whole video again but he said that some cops care about citizen rights but they are far and few in between. Unless you were lying to us when you make previous post alluding to it, that would be you.Me, personally? Where abouts in the video?
Ahh - what do you know?Anyone who thinks that something has changed and cops don't spend MOST OF THEIR TIME helping lost people, scared kids, victims of crimes, people who need rides, etc is just a dumbass unworthy of me attempting to genuflect to.

I always ask what makes someone become a cop. I know most of us want to live and let live. So what is it that makes someone want to enforce "laws". That's both a rhetorical and literal question if any LEO here wants to answer.

Decent pay, good benefits retirement, health care. Time off, Sense of reward for helping people.
The way your question is worded implies that you are only focusing on laws which benefit “society”.
What about actually impacting victim’s lives? Bringing criminals to face punishment for the crimes they’ve committed against the good people of society, whether helpless or not?
Consider your question from that point of view and the answer should be obvious.
I’ve never in 17 years arrested a single person for marijuana. I’ve taken down countless robbery/burglary and now domestic violence perps over the years. Those crimes have victims who we meet face to face. Totally different class of laws.
People helping people. Pretty obvious answer to me.
I can actually reply to both of these answers at the same time with pretty much the same thing. I guess I'm trying to look a little deeper into the type of people that become LEO. For instance you can obtain and do all the things you guys said without being LEO (decent pay, good benefits retirement, health care. Time off, Sense of reward for helping people.). We also know it can be a tough and dangerous job. So what makes one choose a career in LE rather than something else that can reward you with the same exact things?
I'll tell you why most cops became cops. It's the same reason I joined the military. Badassery. Coolness. Power. Uniform. Ability to handle cool guns. Ect.
A young man in his 20's that makes that choice to become a cop didn't do so to help people. That's BS. Perhaps those who become cops late in life in their 40's do but an immature young man in his 20's did so for different reasons.

Back in 2000, as a 20 year old, I was very much interested in becoming a state trooper. So much so that I was emailing a recruiter while I was studying abroad in Paris France on an art scholarship. I went so far as to take the first round of testing and then subsequently didn't follow through with the next round of testing when called back, because at that point I thought my life was headed in a different direction. In any case, my main motivations were unity and yes, to help people and no, sorry, not because I thought I was going to get to have and play with lots of cool shit not available to the average citizen. This was all before my awakening to the cause of civil rights and gun rights. Even so, I was a gun owner at the time and would have sided with gun owners.I'll tell you why most cops became cops.
