I changed my mind about becoming a cop and I'm so glad i didn't go down that route .

[76561199805766231]

My dad's been a cop for over 25 years . I went to college initially because i wanted to do game design way back. One of the recruiters told me and my dad that the industry rarely picked people up and wouldn't teach you how to design games. He said you had to already have the skills so i ended up changing my career path and i graduated a few years ago with a degree in criminal justice .

Fast forward to about 2019 the big event happened and i had to sit at home for a while and find a way to get a car. In that time frame up until just January of this year , I met many people who were officers who were apart of an organization ( sports team ) . We know them personally and the ones we know are good PEOPLE ... not cops ... people. I say this for a reason but more on that later .

so I'll make this next part as short as i can . Long story short my dad got 3 corrupt cops locked up after building a case against them for years from the inside . They didn't like it so they attempted not only to set him up but also harm us when i was a kid. One day i saw my dad " pull back his hammer " and he told me to lower my seat , lay down and close my eyes . Nothing happened that day and i never knew why . So as an adult in 2020 i asked him about that day and why he did that . His words were " I didn't like what i saw " He recognized cops he knew in an unmarked vehicle putting on masks armed with assault rifles and tailing us so he sped off.

He later resigned but never told me this . Him as well as every good person we've met over the years though the sports team whom has become a cop all say the same thing. " The entire organization is crooked " . The only reason my dad stayed for so long is because he had a few friends who work in the government who had his back against the corruption . So far everyone i know has gotten out that was once in it who are good people.

The last thing he told me about the topic was that if i went into it i needed to be careful. I asked " what do you mean ? " He told me that if you have 11 officers on the scene , one cop does dirt and the other cops cover for them by all sticking to the same false statements via the report . If YOU as the " good cop " go against what they say and put the truth in the report ... congrats you just made yourself a target.

They'll not back you up on calls , won't help you , will plant evidence on you just like they did to him but it got thrown out due to the help from friends in government . He said " these people will X you and X your family "

I say all that to say this : I used to be calm around them and think to myself that as long as I'm not doing anything wrong I'm all good. No... these people are narcissistic and evil. People always say the whole " if good cops exist why don't they stop the bad cops " .

Here's the truth that cops don't tell you : Good people who become cops DO in fact exist but in the case of that question , that's not the good cop next to the tyrant . All of the " good cops" got ran off the force early on in the first 2 years . All your rookies who quit and said " this job isn't for me " that's your good cop.

Good cops get weeded out by the bad cops and made as the opposition . They'll set good cops up , plant evidence on other cops , not help them , and treat them as if they're the enemy . Internal affairs are dirty and the people above them as well as your police chiefs . Every time you hear a cop defend all cops and say " I've been on this job for 30 years and everyone i know is straight forward " LIAR ... that's your dirty cop in plain sight.

Anyways I've chosen a much better path and its the best decision I've made . I get to travel , I can live my dream creating characters , I can work for myself and be my own boss with no middle man or even the IRS up my but about anything. I'm finally going to have the freedom to live the life i want . I'm just happy i don't have to be in some alternate reality where I'm either staring down a barrel or having evidence falsified against me by crooks pretending to be heroes .

The only regret i have is letting that recruiter change my mind way back but it worked out in the end and had tons of time to prepare . Now I'm technically ahead and not behind.

I hate cops. I don’t trust them or respect them. Good for you, OP.

This is why we need body cameras MANDATORY and illegal to take off unless you are in the bathroom

Cops? Nah, miss me with that. Just gov-approved goon squads ...

body cams don't even matter in the long run. They have the judges in their pockets . Some are related to judges . When you have a jury who can all see the cop is guilty and the judge HAS to hold them accountable... they'll either get fired and rehired somewhere else in most cases . If not that then it gets thrown out with the victim getting some settlement money but the cop still walking free and rehired later.

This is your unique and personal experience. It cannot be applied to all cops everywhere.

police corruption isn't a personal experience . This happens all throughout the usa everywhere and the organization is crooked . That's not just a thing with the people i know and both them ( veteran cops ) and people in government will tell you that they're dirty . you're right it's not all cops everywhere ... the good ones all quit because they get threatened or set up by the bad ones.

You told a long-winded personal story about your experience. Then used it to claim "all cops are corrupt".

Sorry, that isn't how things work. Just because your dad worked for a corrupt station/division/precinct/whatever is not an indicator that all cops everywhere are bad.

Sorry, no. You are wrong.

90% chance you aren't even American.

You have no car. Are independently wealthy. Can afford to travel. Are self-employed.

Pretty much everything you type sounds like fiction. And is certainly not the experience of the average person.

No, they don't. You are just spreading anti-cop hate and propaganda. Due to your ideology and personal experience. Not undeniable facts.

I appreciate law enforcement officers and particularly support them through a yearly gift to the FOP. I used to keep a sticker on the back of the truck but took it off to keep vandals from doing what they do.

I don't deny corruption exists. I do deny the ACAB nonsense.

State Troopers are extremely professional in my state. The local sheriff office not so much. Deputies, not a chance.

Game Wardens are super cool in my experience.

It’s too bad, OP. You would have made for a convenient contact for a Steam member to get out of speeding tickets and/or murder charges.

You're making assumptions and not clearly reading . You're so quick to respond you're not taking in the information. I said if you fully read which you didn't . That at the time i had to find a way to get a car . Now about the part about me being independent and making a living for myself sounds like fiction to you ? Please explain how me being able to travel , have my own business sounds like fiction ? By that logic alone the thought of owning a business and working for yourself is something that simply isn't reality which would be false .

Please explain how that's fiction .

The fact that you said and quoted a quote that wasn't even stated by me is absolutely insane. When did i say all cops are corrupt ? If you read which you didn't for the 2nd time ... you'd know that i said that good cops DO in fact exist . You twisted the words to make it mean what you wanted it to mean. I even replied to another person saying " you're right it's not all cops everywhere " Yet you still came to illogical conclusions because you chose to skim read . You started typing back replies as soon as you heard the first thing you didn't agree with and didn't fully read. I can tell by your replies . you also had the audacity to assume I'm not american which is just random .

Sure.

In life, we all have experiences. Maybe your dad was a plumber. Or maybe he was a cop. This inevitably shapes our outlook on such things.

Do you know how many people in the U.S. have a successful business? Less than 5%.

You live a life of luxury and privilege. Do whatever you want. The rest of us? We gotta make an effort. To have next-to-nothing.

Everyone (Besides those who are born in billionaire families that is .. ) has to make an effort just like i did. I was not given luxury or privilege I'm not sure where that came from. I simply change my career path and decided to use my other skill sets to make a business for myself. I earned it and nothing was given to me.
