I hate when someone learns I'm a cop and then looks at me like I've got the plague or something.
The main reason you have such a wide variation in quality of officers is that law enforcement is not considered a "profession" in society. Most agencies may require some kind of higher education, but most require a minimum of a police academy and nothing else. I love my job and I could do anything I wanted for a living. It would be very easy for me to go back to college and get my Masters degree, but I am satisfied with what I do. I work at an agency with close to 100 deputies and I am only 1 of 4 with a 4 year degree. When people start to pay officers what they are worth, they will have better candidates to choose from. BTW, I have a really cool tape of me chasing(and catching) an 86 Mustang GT at 130 mph for 11 miles. It was scary and I'll never do that again.

I hate it too when ppl say that all cops suck. In the Af, we have Sp's. Some are really dumb(doesn't take much to be one, most of the dumbest ppl are sp's, when they flunk out of something else, they can choose to be sp's.) But when friends base all sp's on one or two, that makes me mad because I have a lot of good friends that are so.
So, where is this really cool tape of yours?
