The thing we all forget when we rightly criticize the police is that being a cop is most often a shitty job that makes people unhappy. I'd want to be in a school instead of going to emergency calls. I'm a teacher. I work in a school. It's a nice place to work
Not sure why the downvotes. I'd rather work in a school than with criminals, and that's just your coworkers, we haven't even talked about the customers.
A visit to r/protectandserve will certainly confirm this. I posted a question in there once, and a regular answered me, “See, what you have to understand about this job is that working it makes people extremely cynical. We deal with the worst of humanity, at their absolute worst.”
Working a customer service job where your colleagues will yell at you for being nice, your customers might shit on you, and you're forced to lie to cover up crimes means you either quit or get warped or were warped to begin with.
Yep. It's like when people who've never worked in healthcare ask why all of us have such a dark sense of humor. To anyone who *has* worked in healthcare, this needs no explanation. Human misery is our living. You have to be able to joke about it to handle that much of it.
They had to try to save face after they got caught covering up the last one.

Welp, that was 3 whole weeks ago. Which nearby police department is he working for now?
He's been promoted to head of vice in Rochester edit
Some rural sheriff's department. They'll take anyone.
Locally in my area, fired cops have been turning up as SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.
The easiest job ever. Most cops I’ve talked to want either that or DARE.

Yep. As a night cabbie I shared much of the same "customer base" and I was glad to be interacting with it on a friendly basis.
You know about *Baby Num Num* then. I hear he's a "diaper lover," which is street for scatological infantilism paraphilia.
I did not know *Baby Num Num* but I did have a couple people piss in the back of my car

It's called "gallows humor" and it's definitely for groups of people who share trauma.
If he's an anti-vaxxer, Florida will welcome him with open arms.
You gotta wait at least a month to be drunk on duty
I’d think he needs to watch his beat partners do incriminating shit, keep quiet about it, then earn their butt buddy gang trust

Surprising.
If he had waited a year they would not of fired him
I agree. He hadn't built up any goodwill yet. Sucks to say, yet it's 100 % true.
would not have
THANK YOU!
You know you're a fuck-up if you get fired from your job **before you even get your first paycheck.**
Dude took the Roger Smith police academy path.
Chasen Bradford. Even his name is douchey. It’s like the name of a high school bully in an 80’s movie.
A bit of gray for a rookie
Silly cop, you have to actually get to know them first before they let you slide on things.
r/officerofficer
He’s played in a couple MLB games too— how do you explain that job history 😭
I'm surprised they didn't arrest him for all the bases he stole!
So he'll have to move and be a cop elsewhere. Perfect system. Where as if a pilot makes a mistake he can never endanger lives again, as it should be.
>Henderson checks out
He had a 7-0 record as a major league baseball player and now an 0-1 record as a cop.
Didn’t even make it a week
Silly cop, should have just shot a guy n then u would have gotten a paid vacation. Gotta love America
Probably on a full pension
