I bet if you offered any of these people a job as a police officer, they would stop all of their comments, accept the job, and act like they never said anything against law enforcement.
Becoming a cop isn’t hard… if any of these people wanted to be a cop they could easily become one but they don’t because they aren’t literall fucking monsters.

It’s obvious you’re new around here.
Not really. I had Reddit between 2011 and 2024. Most Lemmy users came over from Reddit.
Anyway, why don’t you apply to work for your local law enforcement office?
Your account is 19 days old. Why would I go work for a systemically corrupt agency? Do you think that one person can change it?
I’m not new here and that has no bearing on your effort to change the status quo, or how you view it.
If you’re not new, then you should not be surprised by the strong hatred for cops on Lemmy.

If you’re intelligent, it’s impossible. They screen for that.
They legally can screen for it. It doesn’t mean they always do. They surely are not screening out people dumb as fuck though.

Seeing as you seem to have misread what you replied to…

Are you saying cops are particularly intelligent people?
Sorry, I misread your comment, lol
Actually no, being an officer is a horrible job, and even where I live, it’s not very well paid.
Actually check out your state’s or provincial sunshine list. Being an officer pulls in a 6 figure salary when you include the overtime scams they run.
Yeah, if you spend all your waking hours working and have no personal life.
75 dollars an hour to play on your phone parked outside a construction site. Pretty great deal.
Ironically, that’s what I’m doing right now, as I’m on break.
It’s not really a win if the only way to make decent money is to work a huge amount of overtime though, I quite like having a personal life.
Just claim the overtime and go do whatever you want, whose going to stop you? The enforcers all have your back.
“Gee, I’d like to join a corrupt gang of psychopathic, neo-Nazi murders, but I do enjoy my free time…”
So, the only reason you’re not a cop is because you’re lazy?
How on earth did you get that from my comment?
