Every police chase is a danger to innocent people’s lives. Some chases are necessary, but a broken taillight is not worth that risk.

    Yeah, media portrayals and other cops keep attracting adrenaline junkies and people who want to control other people to the job and that’s two of the absolute WORST traits a cop could ever have.

      I went to school for law enforcement and changed my mind after realizing it wasn’t for me but I had a professor who said people get into policing for 1 of 3 reasons:

      1. It’s the family business
      2. To get power/control over others
      3. To genuinely help and protect people

      It seemed at the time like he could tell the 3rd group was shrinking.
