Gone and forgotten
Its real in NY, Police have a starting salary under 30 grand.More and more incompitents are getting into law enforcement these days, lower standards and lower pay is teh reason.
Is that real, or does it just seem that way?
I have had police here who did not even understand the law (two rookies told me once that people could play blasting loud music all they wanted before 10 PM, it's the law they claimed. Of course, that is NOT the law, in fact there is a hard decible level and if its exceeded they are required to issue a summons).
These were men out of academy less then a year, I know this because I had a sargeant come to scene (this is required in NYC when someone is disastisfied by what police do in a given situation) and he repremanded them on the spot for not knowing the law, not enforcing the law and giving false information to a citizen issuing a complaint.
This is basically what is happening all over the country.
Dimwits who think a badge of a free ride to lord it over people are becoming the police.
