yea ok, considering you could be a cop at age 18 w/o college or any education really for that matter...

Uh...where?

They never do anything unless 1/2 the dept. backs them up.

Let me guess, if YOU were a cop you'd do everything alone, right? Clear buildings, fight off bad guys, pursuits, whatever, right?

no... but in the event of a routine stop where 5 cops literally try to figure out why the color of your car is dark grey on the reg. but comes off as a greenish shade in the sun and hassle one about it.

 
I like how some people think that cops don't do anything or aren't needed.:roll:

If you want to see what life would be like if there were no cops turn to your local news channel and see whats going on in New Orleans.

No they aren't. If anything, they are definitely underpaid.

I believe most departments look for a degree now.


Correct. Most REQUIRE at least 2 year now and want a 4year. That and most cops start out at high20's to maybe the low 30's depending on city and job listing.

And liek ivol07 was saying. If you don;t think we need cops or they are over paid, go to NO and see if you feal the same.

I don't know of any department that will let you work at 18yo - Gainesville FL PD is 19yo for admin work, and 21 for sworn officer.

I suppose you think the military is over paid. BTW if there were no cops there would be killing and murdering all the time. lets say your getting the sh!t beat out of you on the side of the road, do you think the cop would help you or be like fvck that, i wanna save my own ass. Go troll somewhere else you ungrateful fvck. TPAD

EDIT: What do you do and how much do you make? I wonder if YOU are overpaid.
 
I have a friend who's a cop here in California. I know he makes very good money, over 80K a year. He wanted to get me on as a cop, and I actually could of done it, but I have no desire to be one. I went on a ride-along with him one night, and besides a couple of minutes, it was actually pretty boring. Not really something I'd want to do.
 
"The current starting salary for a New Jersey trooper is $53,576.46 (including uniform allowance). The second-year total compensation jumps to $59,968.94. Top pay for a Trooper I is $93,450.23. Troopers receive yearly increments. All recruits receive $777.78 every two weeks, plus overtime pay. Room and board are also provided while training."

Wow

"Play" really isn't the right word.

HAHAHA, they would save their ass. For once officers have their work cut out for them in NO. Otherwise it's smooth sailing for them. same with the military, when there is a war, most ppl who enlist drop out, they only want those big pay checks if the work is safe during times of peace, bitch.




EDIT: I am an actor/model and am over paid when I have work, but atleast my work requires talent. Otherwise read my page on the pics section for more info on what I do, since you care so much about me.
