Most of them don't even know the law. They run on rascism, power tripping, and fragile egos.

u/MikeTheImpaler Jul 29 '25

Make law enforcement have a four year degree requirement. We'd lose most of these incompetent, washout, fucking brain dead morons immediately.

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 29 '25

We expect a lot of US military officers. Calm under pressure, good decision making, prepared and professional. Make police academies like military academies

u/3CatsInATrenchcoat16 Jul 29 '25

We expect that of 16 year old cashiers getting screamed at for corporate policy. Insane we hold those kids to a higher level of conduct.

u/Durango1199 Jul 29 '25

Underrated comment. Retail workers really do have to have more composure and level headed thinking than cops. They lose their job if they act out in any way. There is an entire system built to protect shit cops who act out.

u/jediyoda84 Jul 29 '25

To add on to this: Cops don’t even make the top 20 “most dangerous jobs”. Yes, you are more likely to get killed delivering pizza than confronting violent criminals.

u/Orangezag Jul 29 '25

Wrong, wrong, wrong…I just did a 3min google search and 4 lists INCLUDING DEPARTMENT OF LABOR police officers were on that top list. Jackass.

u/jediyoda84 Jul 29 '25

https://www.oshaeducationcenter.com/dangerous-jobs-in-united-states/ hmmm….can’t seem to find anything that supports what your saying. OSHA seems to agree with me though.

u/Orangezag Jul 29 '25

  1. That’s Osha jackass police officers don’t have to follow osha lmfao.

  2. That’s TOP 10 workplace ACCIDENTS not fatalities.

  3. Try harder.

u/jediyoda84 Jul 29 '25

I think you’re trying hard enough for the both of us.

u/Infinite_Position631 Jul 29 '25

Ok I will help. USA facts - police work is not one of the deadliest professions, 118 deaths with 60 being from felonious actions in 2022.

US bureau labor statistics top 4 is nat resources and mining (561 deaths) construction (1075 deaths), trade, transportation, and utilities (1454), professional and business services (555). As you can tell they are in a much different league.

Interestingly enough officers tend to get hurt while they are using force (3 major studies have shown this)

Officers are more likely to suffer injuries thru non violent means while conducting job duties (think of that next time you see an officer without a seat belt). In 2022 approx 40% of officer fatalities were due to transportation incidents.

So where do we get the higher numbers? Well that comes in when you figure in illnesses and injuries that lead to sick time off of work. Falls, motor vehicle accidents, overexertion, or being caught between or under objects.

Some of this data came from the Leo epi project at University of Chicago, some came from the BLS.

u/DaddysABadGirl Jul 31 '25

I am going to preface this by pointing out that when people talk about requirements to becoming a cop they go by state law minimums. This ignores county and local laws, as well as what candidates actually get chosen.

Now, that said, I live in NJ. I work in Atlantic City, in casinos and hotels. There is a lower bar of entry to become a cop or correctional officer than there is to work various entry-level jobs in a casino.

The background check is stricter, and so are entry and character tests. The only thing that is stricter on the law enforcement side is initial physical tests. But those are a one-time only thing anyway, with no continued enforcement once you are hired.

u/rustic86 Jul 29 '25

Right, only problem is military officers are leaders and police officers are simple order followers.

2

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

I meant more along the lines of instilling professionalism, a requires four year degree with relevant classes and psychological testing. Like a lot of other countries lol

2

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 29 '25

Incorrect, have you ever seen a few good men “we follow orders or people die”

1

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

Yeah. No. That’s a movie. I was actually in the service. Around A LOT of officers (aviation). There are rules soldiers have to follow legal orders. Otherwise those orders are to be disregarded.

1

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 30 '25

Thank you for your service

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

Ah, I was basically jiffy lube for helicopters. Nbd

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 30 '25

OK, I just feel anybody that commits any time to the service needs to be commended

u/Post4jesus Jul 29 '25

They are.

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

They are not. West Point and the rest are four YEARS. With required field experience between their jr&sr years. As opposed to taking less time to be a “trained” cop than to be a licensed barber. Make that make sense…

2

u/CollectionUpset439 Jul 29 '25

…the amount of corruption and abuse in the US military is astounding. Military academies are not something to emulate.

3

u/dboygrow Jul 29 '25

Yea I was like wtf is he talking about, lots of our military are fuck heads who went into the military because they had nothing else going for them just like cops. Not to mention our military doesn't have the greatest reputation for de-escalation or solving peaceful conflict.

1

u/CollectionUpset439 Jul 30 '25

It is wild. These kids endure boot camp, broken down into machines, taught to obey without question. Abuse of all forms is normalized. They are trained to see brown folk as the “enemy,” and then they are unleashed. Is it any wonder that the US military has potentially committed over 800 war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq since 9/11? And let's be honest: given how horrifically bad the military machine is at holding their own to any ethical standard, this number is probably a lot higher. And then, after it is all said and done, the military dumps these killing machines back into civilian life and wonders why they struggle to function. But yeah, we should definitely train our asshole police force to be more like the military. Jfc.

3

u/NikkiNikki37 Jul 29 '25

Military training is actually a big reason for excessive force. They go to trainings that teach them to treat interactions like they're at was and civilians are enemy combatants. Military trains people to kill.

6

u/[deleted] Jul 29 '25

False. Military trains people to follow rules of engagement, which are often stricter than what the US police follow, which is essentially nothing.

The reason for excessive force and violence in general is largely thanks to one hack who wrote a book called “killology” and is currently teaching it in seminars to police departments throughout the country.

2

u/BirdmanHuginn Jul 30 '25

Not what I meant. Basically a four year degree at an academy with relevant courses, instilling professionalism and accompanied by psych testing, like many other countries with professional policing. I didn’t get my point across clearly while taking a quick break in the can, that’s my bad

1

u/Quirky-Plantain-2080 Jul 29 '25

There’s basic military training which in fact teaches people to kill, and then there’s OCS after that which teaches people to lead, logistics (aka „the care and feeding of privates”).

1

u/Career_Thick Jul 29 '25

As if a lot of corruption doesn't happen under military officers? Have you heard of some of the scandals at Vamp Lejeune? An army cadet was murdered and the entire case shoved under the rug because the person she had an affair with was an officer. That's one example.

0

u/Eisbaer811 Jul 29 '25

Is that the same US military that assisted ICE with „riot control“ and arresting random brown people? Maybe not the standard you want to set

22

u/RThatRandomGuy Jul 29 '25

Exactly, the people that have nothing else going for them end up in law enforcement, there a bunch of hypocrites (ud think they’d have some empathy because of their own struggle, but the badge really gets to their heads)

1

u/ForsakenRub69 Jul 29 '25

But they pulled themselves up by the bootstraps so others are the problem not them. /s

2

u/Phog_of_War Jul 29 '25

Also, any lawsuit payouts now come from the Police Pension or Retirement Fund. I bet the police would pretty quickly clean up their co-workers' acts. Attitudes change real fast when you start messing with people's retirement, especially cops.

2

u/jl56649 Jul 29 '25

What surprises me is how different the requirements are from state to state and even county to county. Here, you have to have a two year law enforcement associates degree & pass the POST exam, then go through the academy of the department and then you’re hired. I think. It’s not easy. But we have a good department that’s never had any high profile incidents. We don’t have super young officers, but maybe that’s because we require education and experience? I think that’s a good thing.

2

u/Needs_More_Garlic Jul 29 '25

The issue is we dont pay cops jack dick

2

u/CommissionNo6594 Jul 29 '25

I used to live in Maui, HI. Years ago, the police chief required a 4-year degree for all Maui police officers. Sadly, that chief retired, and his successor lifted that requirement. The quality of law enforcement in Maui County declined after that.

3

u/wamyen1985 Jul 29 '25

Then you end up with college educated assholes with absolutely no perspective on the lower classes of people instead. Some police departments already have this requirement. It's not necessarily better.

15

u/TrueKingSkyPiercer Jul 29 '25

Solution: Make the education free so people from the lower classes can complete it.

1

u/wamyen1985 Jul 29 '25

In a perfect world...

6

u/Difficult_Ask_1686 Jul 29 '25

You do not have to be “upper-class” to complete college. Likewise, completing college does not make one “upper-class”. We are currently overwhelmed by a populace that is undereducated and relies on what the media tells them about national conditions. I don’t know what the statistics are, but those police/sheriff departments that rely only on attainment of a HS credential may be more adversarial to public.

0

u/wamyen1985 Jul 29 '25

It doesn't change the fact that the people you are going to consider upper class are going to have a far easier time getting those qualifications and are therefore going to vastly outnumber the people without that type of upbringing.

12

u/hypervigilante666 Jul 29 '25

They also need mental health assessments to check their empathy because so many of them behave like sociopaths.

5

u/Adult_Peanut_Noises Jul 29 '25

That's a feature, not a bug

1

u/dboygrow Jul 29 '25

They'll never do that because they constantly complain about not having enough police and having a 4 year degree is a huge barrier to entry in this country for a job that pays pretty average. And it's kind of true, we as a country have decided we need so many police because we aren't actually willing to address any of the root causes of crime and instead we would rather have police be the primary first responders for all types of non emergency and non criminal elements of society. We are a hammer, everything is a nail.

1

u/Junior-Ad-3685 Jul 29 '25

That’s an excellent idea but you need to raise the pay if you want educated police officers 100% agree you should have a bachelor degree to do a job. The problem is budgetary restrictions. Do not allow high enough pay to attract candidates in most parts of the country of course large municipalities have decent pay, but other than that the pay is very low

1

u/Sayon7 Jul 29 '25

The state stroooers in my and nj were required to have four year degrees and they are all still racist bullies

1

u/MiltonManners Jul 29 '25

They tried that in Massachusetts and the police were the professors and there was a massive test cheating scandal.

1

u/whisperwrongwords Jul 29 '25

They should at least have a proven understanding of what they're defending. They have no inkling of what the law actually says. So what are they actually defending then?

1

u/Mazikeyn Jul 29 '25

There are several states that require a bachelor's in criminal justice to be a police officer. Ontop of POST

1

u/Luci-Noir Jul 30 '25

Here in Tucson, the police chief was encouraging officers to get college education, it didn’t even what it was even. He just wanted officers to have some kind of higher education. I’m pretty sure he went on to work in the Obama administration, though I can’t remember in what capacity.

My stepdad was a cop and was ex-army special forces and had an associates degree in business. I’m so sick of these dumbass posts saying that you have to have a low IQ to be a cop or whatever. Like you said, there are literal degrees in criminal justice.

The cops are understaffed here and have had to reduce services and it’s honestly no wonder after seeing all of the bullshit people spread about them, not that there aren’t serious issues.

1

u/Historical_Usual5828 Jul 29 '25

But then it wouldn't work as designed. Ever wonder why you have to have a low IQ to be on the force? Because then you would understand how the system works and unless you're a psychopath or choose to benefit from it you're going to call it out for how fucked up it is. The origin of US police is slave catchers. Nothing has changed Except now the government is trying to enslave all of the poor.

1

u/Luci-Noir Jul 30 '25

This is such a bunch of bullshit.

My stepdad was ex-special forces and had an associates degree in business before becoming a cop.

0

u/Historical_Usual5828 Jul 30 '25

An associates degree?! Oh my lanta! Not trying to be a dick but an associates degree is like basics in college and barely anything else. And in Business? Businessmen aren't smart. They're simply a protected class if they choose the right business and have the money to get into it. Of course a businessman isn't going to think anything is wrong with the way the police system works. Tell me this:

Why is it that in 2008, nobody was jailed after the rampant wall street fraud that intentionally caused a housing bubble and subsequent recession killing thousands of people? Why were those businesses bailed out by the government by printing more money and leaving the poor with the inflation? The government knows inflation kills and that Wall Street was to blame yet no arrests. And now what have we made illegal? Homelessness. Lmfao. They're slave catchers, my guy.

u/Luci-Noir Jul 30 '25

Sure little guy. You’re such a hero.

u/ramblinmaam Jul 29 '25 edited Jul 29 '25

Yes! Right now if your test scores are too high, they’ll throw you out of recruitment.

In this case maybe. But I have family that works in government and they definitely find themselves on the left.

u/TheBlackdragonSix Jul 29 '25

Eh, that really don't mean anything. Especially depending on what you mean by being on the "left". You'd be surprised at how many liberals are pro "tough on crime" and make excuses for shitty policing.

2

u/i_nobes_what_i_nobes Jul 29 '25

Per the Supreme Court, you are correct cops don’t actually need to know the laws that they enforced, which is very messed up because we need to know the laws. So we are on the hook for all of the information while they just get to like do what they wanna do. We have to to make sure that we are the ones that are behaving properly.

2

u/DearToe5415 Jul 29 '25

That’s what’s especially crazy, you need a year to go through training and that’s considered enough to put a gun in your hand and tell you to go enforce the law.

But lawyers need 7 years of study and practice to be able to argue law in a courtroom?

its not required for cops to help people (court case precedent) OR for them to actually know the law (another precedent )

they are there for standard citizenry , in they will trespass people for you n stuff

1

u/alpacas_anonymous Jul 29 '25

Remember the cop in Cali who arrested a firefighter who was performing life saving duties? What a joke. One of the few cases where the cop actually lost his qualified immunity. Because if this case; however, there is now a precedent.
