So are you going back to school?

What do you have in mind of doing next?

[kalvinmc]

Ever been involved in a shooting?

[ChalkyWhiteX]

I commend you for this, (Srs)

We don't need cops/people in law enforcement working the beat and absolutely hating their job/don't have passion for it.

The world would be a better place if more people like you were out there.

[Lightsoft]

IT is the way to go... so easy. I am just sitting here working and typing this chit up

You realize the guy just insulted you, right?

[amikaelmorris]

oh look another gtr brag thread

i don't understand why you'd quit being a cop with an ego so big

[Tsudo]

How'd you afford a GTR? What's the monthly payment on that thing?

In b4 OP confiscated drugs and sold them on the street.

[biggestmuff]

I'll bet you had lots of special required training.

Well tv news is not real life, so why don't you give us a few examples of things that made you leave. Be specific other than i left because it stinks now. You can do it!

What do you work as? Sys admin?

[CaptChip40]

Best of times, worst of times. Right now it's pretty bad but never thought of quitting cause there's nothing else like it.

[Bigdumogre]

Not really
Just a Leo phrase
This job is not for everyone and we understand that

[MajorTendonitis]

I thought the pension would be a good perk in your occupation . I have a worse job than you as I work with the public . You only have to deal with the arse holes , I have to deal with everyone.

Maybe Military would be a next step for you . MP? lol

That's what memcop is doing and that's a great plan
I do executive protection as a side gig
Great money

[JontheAtheist]

Ever have to stop a Black Lives Matter protest? If yes, what did you do?

[Rambostyne]

They say good cops either quit or eventually become bad cops. So I guess you were a good cop then.

[holtmcg]

Police in this country are an embarrassment anyways, bubba. GJDM on quitting.

no federal agent job
no swat
no big city cop
no care

busting suburban school kids for drinking everyday must give u a rush

[Talason]

what kind of phucking metro PD allows you to take home your patrol car?

unless you just did it one day for chits and gigs

[Bigdumogre]

The thing about law enforcement you have to enforce the law even though you may not agree with it. Sometimes just a warning others a fine or arrest. Does not matter how much you agree or disagree with the law.

Good money in that + if you get a reserve at a place that lets you work security you can do uniformed security and usually line up steady gigs. Entirely possible to bank six figures doing that. Only reason I don't is 1. No insurance/benefits/pension. 2. Its not a guaranteed paycheck. 3. Turbulent world and things can change and your out of a job.


Where we work our pension is insane though. 99.9% for life if you retire at 30 years. 83% if we retire at 25 years. If I go out at 30 years I'll be 54 years old and will have a six figure pension for the rest of my life... Kinda hard to pass that up.

A patrol officer can/will get into far more chit then those other things. A lot of the big cities they have so many time constraints they really aren't getting a chance to do the cool stuff. Federal agents are basically just paper pushers unless you are on a special task force. Etc.


I know a few regular patrol officers in small/moderate size cities who've been in 3-5 shootings. Any time the major chit goes down they'll be first on scene.
