...'should NEVER happen... in America
...been there, guns and all... more than once
...NOT a "victim"...but a "survivor" of fellas who have guns
and badges but who are not suitable for the job...
...solution? 'raise the standards to that of only the most "exceptional".
...raise the bar to damn near M.I.T. equivalency.
Intelligence, training, oversight.
You see a cop, you see a TRULY exceptional Human Being.
...Compensate, accordingly. Pride, Honor, Esprit de corps.
...you can have a more effective force...with far less numbers.
Right now you have FAR too many not-ready-for-prime-time misfit snuck-ins
makin' it hard for the "good/solid/well-balanced" OFFICER OF THE LAW.
Nothin' better than a good cop. Nothin' worse than a bad one.
RAISE THE BAR... A "LOT"... RAISE THE PAY... A "LOT"...
NOTHING BUT THE BEST, BRIGHTEST,
MOST BALANCED... FROM TOP TO BOTTOM
SAME GOES FOR OVERSIGHT FOLKS AND
SUPPORT STRUCTURE... AW 1-10-23
