Most police do their jobs and have been doing it for a long time. It's a dangerous and often unappreciated job. They deal with the lowest form of scum on the streets, daily. I wouldn't want to do it. Nor would I want someone who is not employable to do it just because they are in need and want a job.

The Democrat Party and they could have all their conventions there.
Yea, that's the ticket.

noone has said who doesn't do their job,, but that those who DO NOT wish to do it,,,,who are purposely avoiding going out on potentially dangerous calls,,,,,

need to have those jobs opened to someone who is available and WANTS to work,,,,,,they dont have a way to know if they will employ an officer until they APPLY and PASS the screening and training, and that way they cant do it 'just because they are in need of a job',,,

Do you seriously think those officers DON'T WANT to do their jobs? Or do they fear the repercussions of DOING their job?

I really think they dont want to do their jobs UNLESS it involves an unchecked authority to kill people,,,,

That sort of attitude is what makes things worse.

I agree, their attitude does make it worse

they are PAID and TRAINED for the dangers they face, they have equipment as well,, so if they are too AFRAID that they wont be able to do the job within the confines of an expectation to use CAUTION with suspects instead of killing them, particularly UNARMED suspects,, then perhaps its not the job for them and someone else can take that PAY, PENSION, EQUIPMENT, and TRAINING And do the job that millions of officers do every day

And you're suggesting the black people in Baltimore who've never had a job in their life???...lol

I wasn't talking about their attitude.

you are projecting here

I didnt suggest any specific race or the status of employment, I merely stated it should go to those who want work and will do the job,,

how is it worse to aknowledge that some cops are such cowards that they cant do the job well unless they feel they will have the freedom to kill with impunity at any 'threat',,,

You are not acknowledging. You are accusing.

the same way I might 'accuse' michael jordan of being a great athlete,,,lol

stating the obvious, judging on actions,,,and the fact that qualifying most any statement with 'some' makes it hard to refute its truth,, if it pertains to human beings and anything they are capable of doing,,

So...you can make generalizations about the cops in Baltimore, but not the people who caused all this trouble to begin with?.....That's such a liberal idea....lol

Such thinking is different.

If there was a Mingle2

No one would be around to pay for it, protect them (though they do have their own armed Christian guards... ), or to put out the fires or clean up after the ' protest '


* Good times *

Me too!

who said they cant ? They do it all day everyday, share their opinions, as do I,,,, and so long as they state their opinion about 'some' of whomever,, I will rarely disagree,,,



so ,,, where were we again,,,,?

Im sure there would be too

lets put itin perspective


by your own stats,, that means there are 178 officers killed in their job every year

in 2013, for instance,,,215 construction workers died,,, 750 sales drivers/truck drivers died......in the line of duty,, yet these jobs have no lack of applications either

cops aren't the only job that take on an element of danger,, the employee generally addresses that with proper training and equipment

and the applicants USUALLY agree to and make the choice to accept the employment KNOWING these facts,, or they don't
