Hey...

Since I'm in the process of becoming an RCMP officer (Canada's federal police force) I'm wondering how you all feel about the police, whether it be from personal experience with this part of law enforcement, or even just what you think of them from watching movies/tv.

[DMKA]

Wow, I just imagined how awesome a Canadian episode of COPS would be.

YOU'RE GONNA BE A MOUNTIE?

Heeeee. A lot of my family are cops, the Irish-American kind. I think it's a fantastic career. My step-grandpa supported a huge family through that. My uncle, who's only just a bit under 50, has already retired from the force, and gets a nice retirement package from it. My other uncle is a bit younger, so he's still on the force. I like cops.

Good luck. Give them hell. My dad was a cop in london back in the day. Goodluck

[KentaRawr!]

Well, that depends on the officer in question. I remember watching COPS, and most of them seemed quite uppity...

Ah, well. You'll make fine law enforcement.

Cops around here kinda suck. Most of them I've met are either way too arrogant or kinda corrupt. But the good cops that are around are great, nice guys who care about what they're doing.

It's not always an easy job but the perks are great and if you are good at it it's a great career. Good luck!

Man, I hate that Sting guy.

Man, I hate that Sting guy.

Bun-Bun, you don't have to put out that redddd lighttttt~

I have an inherent distrust of all authority. I respect police, and I think they probably get a bad rep on balance, but I'm utterly paranoid of what a person can do with the kind of power cops have.

[Kes]

I've disliked the police in general ever since they crashed my tenth birthday party.

[Aerith's Knight]

As long as you'll be a fair officer, all's good

[Citizen Bleys]

It depends on where you are. The RCMP in Halifax? Awesome. They do their job and do it well. Here in Moncton? They're as useless as a dick on an apple tree. People around here routinely drive drunk because the cops don't do squat unless it's a minor offense (like being 5km/h over the limit in a 110 zone). I think half the cops in Moncton drive drunk routinely. Everyone, including the media, knows which tittie bar in Moncton is a front for a cocaine ring, but the cops won't do bugger.

[Roto13]

I've heard horror stories about the RCMP in Calgary. For the most part, though, I think cops are decent people doing an important job.

[Vermachtnis]

I like the police. Good luck, the police take a lot of crap for nothing. Most of which they don't deserve, there are alot more nice, good cops then curropt cops as far as I know.

I live in LA. How do you think I feel about the police? I've PERSONALLY known people have been brutalized by the police. LA is the home of so many police scandals, police brutality, corruption, racism, etc. Occasionally I'll hear through the gossip vine that so-and-so, a major asshole and bully in High School has joined the police department. It's been my personal observation that a certain type of people get drawn to that line of work. And while there may be lots of really decent men and women who get into that line of work to protect and to serve, there are also lots of douchebags who get drawn to having power and getting to exercise that power over other people.

I have met and interacted with really decent men and women on the police force. But doing that sort of job in such an urban environment... I think a person would have to fight REALLY hard to keep from developing certain ideas about things.
