By they, I was more specifically referring to my local PD.
Experience required = none.
Education = high school diploma/GED
I know not all cops are like those here, but like I said, atleast 10 arrested in 3 years. Doesn't exactly make me trust the local cops.
I have a friend that will soon be a full fledged officer and although I'm sure he'll do a good job, you can already tell he really really likes the power and control the job will give him. Though I reckon that is something every cop likes to some degree, otherwise they'd have some sort of other job.
There are plenty of good cops, and without them the country would suck, but there is also a lotta bad apples.
Not a rant on you, just everyone that says it:
The overpaid/overworked thing is so over played. Most jobs are overpaid/overworked. That's the way it is. No one made you have the job you have, so if that is something you're gonna complain about, then get a different job.
