21. Hugely different circumstances
Thu Jun 18, 2020, 12:39 PM

It is not a job offered to otherwise unemployable people. That is just not a fact. They have to pass physical tests, mental tests, have a certain amount of education, depending on the agency.

It's a different kind of pressure than any type of professional career. It's to be ready on the spot pressure.

Right not, a lot of cops don't want to arrest anybody. It appears the right to resist arrest is being developed. It was normally rare for a cop to have to handle that. And then getting judge on split second decisions afterward by people with an agenda to find the resistor to be have victimized.
