The survey was not conducted by Breibart or Fox, it was conducted by ABC so you can't *****.
Actually, I bothered to read your silly article.. and it clearly says the reason why less people are going into LE is because the profession has been given such a bad rep by the bad actors.
That's besides what's going on in my suburb plus the town one of my closest friends son works in about 50 miles outside of the city. It's happening whether you agree with it or not. Given my friends son trains all the new recruits, his claim is that they are getting the lowest quality of applicants and it's making his job very difficult.
Again, it's a job paying north of 80K a year for no experience, and a lifetime pension when you retire after 20, people should be climbing over each other to get those jobs.
Now, I think most cops are great guys. Most cops aren't racist abusers, but they make excuses for the ones who are. Just like most Catholic Priests aren't pedophiles, but they covered up for the ones who were for years. You reap what you sow.
The problem with our legal system is money, not cops. Somebody makes a claim for a few thousand or even a hundred thousand bucks and the city gives in, just like all these famous entertainers. It's cheaper just to pay them off. While that may be true, it also influences more lowlifes to try and cash in on that money cow.
Or not. Again the city has lawyers on retainer, who specialize in arguing these kinds of cases. If they settled a case, it was because they knew they were in deep shit if it got in front of a jury where everyone has had at least one DWB.
Since you love the Rice case so much, it's a perfect example. A justified police shooting because some idiot pulled out a realistic gun on a police officer, and they handed his fat pig mother 5 million bucks because she was too irresponsible to watch her own little hoodlum kid. That's the problem. It's not the Mayor's money, it's the taxpayers money. You anti-cop people created this problem and then ***** you can't get good quality cops.
Uh, dude, I went to the part to play when I was 12, and my mother didn't feel a need to watch me, either. She also had a reasonable expectation that as corrupt as Chicago cops are, they weren't going to shoot me.
The reason why they settled is because they knew the MINUTE they introduced Loehmann's history at his last job (where they were going to fire him for being emotionally unstable.), the negligence of the Cleveland PD would have been laid out to bear.
The solution to all these ambulance chaser problems is a loser pays all law. Sue anybody you like, but if you lose the case, you are responsible for reimbursement of all the costs of the person or entity you tried to sue. Then you'd see how little your city would be paying out in claims, plus it would stop all these women from coming out of the woodwork with their phony claims against wealthy famous people.
That would be a good way to deprive average working people of any recourse to law. You might as well give rich people hunting licenses to shoot down working class people.
Of course that will never happen in this country given most of our representatives were lawyers and they take care of their own.
It is interesting who the right wing has been trained to hate.
Lawyers, Unions, and Government Officials.
Anyone who might make the playing field more level between the working class and the investor class.
