You Could Not Pay Me Enough Money To Be A Cop

[AniMaLizTik]

brb "routine" traffic stop could be a felon with a gun willing to kill you

brb have to make split second decisions

brb face could be on national news and hated by millions if you do something controversial

brb media demonizes you

brb good deeds go virtually unnoticed



Legit, if the going salary was 5 MILLION a year, I'd say no. 6 Mil.....I'd think about it, then say no.
Much respect to the good cops that do the right thing everyday, you guys need more support.

[DarthScorpio11]

I agree. I feel bad for cops. Most of them are decent people

[Lendogg]

but but but he was an angel

[BRAHzzers]

I am a rookie cop. Thanks for this thread Srs. It's disheartening with all that goes on but we rely on each other our families and people like you OP to keep us going. You only ever hear about a few incidents on TV among the 800,000 cops in the US 20 incidents a year is nothing but we are all categorized as bad.

Yet a female teacher has sex with a kid but no stigma is attached to all teachers being ****phile deviants.

[verygassyman]

Same here. But to be realistic, being a cop is not a dangerous job statistically speaking.

[bigdogfarmhand]

some start off making 27-30k a year


i would never work for that kind of money doing anything

[verygassyman]

I was amazed to learn the pay discrepency for street cops.

You stay in the NYPD for 20 years, don't kill anyone/rape anyone and you're financially secure for life.

Yet most agencies barely even have a half-assed retirement plan at all.

[aesthetique]

brb almost impossible to get fired
brb do whatever the phuck you want
brb kill someone and you get paid time off

thinking of becoming a cop

Yes they do. I work in the highest paid LEO state in NJ I am fortunate starting at 55,000 but a lot of guys I went to the academy with were at 25-30k

[antidogma]

According to my RCMP Cadet brah he's going to earn 80k+ within a few years
Not sure how full of chit he is, but it seems to be a pretty noble profession

[Rain50]

Agreed. It phking pisses me off that the media phking blows up every time a cop does something wrong, but they almost never emphasize how much they do to keep the public safe. All the DUI's, speeding tickets, running red lights or stop signs, etc etc etc... people don't understand how much all those add up... srs.

I'm not saying we should ignore the WRONG things that police officers do, but holy phk.. don't let the bad cops change your view on all cops. Most of them are doing the right thing and the ****-bag cops are ruining things for the good cops. Anyone who intentionally gives a cop a hard time is a ****ing jackass.. for example all the dumb asses on youtube that fake public urination, jump over cops sitting on a bench, etc etc etc.

These guys have to deal with enough ****, so unless you're going to say or do something that might brighten their day.. just stay the phk out of their way.



-also, see sig

i think the anti cop bs going on right now is wrong and stupid


i will never stop respecting policemen ...i will always support them

[motivat3d]

Completely unrewarding job. Srs
In some cases even at your own place of employment, quick to jump your **** when you mess up but no acknowledgement when you do good.

Depends where you live.

There still are some good American folk towns who care about their police. It's just like education, depends who your educating with your service.

[kahri]

depends which country op

My friend makes 33k working in BROWNSVILLE NY. Out of all the places, BROWNSVILLE. Murder capitol of new york. For only 33000.. It blows my ****ing mind. Idk why NY puts all the rookies in the dangerous areas.

[KevinHarvick]

As much as I hate cops...I think you guys deserve $100k a year.

Why do you hate cops? It's a dangerous job but, most of the time it's simply paper work and sitting around. Why do they deserve $100k? I have a few CO friends, a few county friends, and one state guy acquaintance. They all tell me the same thing. The CO's seem to see the most crap and they're paid the least. State guy has it made. Makes more than the others and has less conflicts. I thought about going to be a state trooper during college, then I learned they max out around $50k and changed my mind. Pretty prestigious job though.

because rookies can make mistakes its easier to sweep under the carpet..

[GNCbrah]

Brb destroying someones life and not even giving a chit about it, just makes your record of bringing people in look better

[AzzRaze]

These all sound like perks if you ask me, that infamous status~

[Wisdom15]

Agree with OP.

A lot of my family were law enforcement of some type (mostly of the Drug Task Force nature.) The cop bashing lately is annoying. All the internet warriors out to prove that they would've reacted differently in different situations with the years of training they have by watching combat videos on the internet.

[Liberate]

Yes they do. I work in the highest paid LEO state in NJ I am fortunate starting at 55,000 but a lot of guys I went to the academy with were at 25-30k

25-30k in New Jersey??? I'm in CT and the lowest starting salary is about 42k but after 5 years of service bumps up to 65k without OT.

I agree that majority of cops took up their profession for all the right reasons and are great people. I just graduated from Uni with a Criminal Justice degree and also finished up my internship with the local police department. Every cop I had met shared different success stories about the job. After Ferguson and Eric Garner, the perspective of LEOs being the enemy seems to be more culturized than ever. There isn't nearly enough recognition for positive stories involving police officers and it pisses me off.



(hopefully these people actually bought gifts with that mone)

Damn. How bad is the cost of living? That's double what most cops here make. Location, location, location.

[chasintail]

My biggest gripe with cops is I can't stand being around them. (Firefighter brah) I work side by side with them a lot and have friends who are married to cops. Their job has given them the most fukked perception of reality. They only see the bad in everybody and are cynical as fukk. Most of them have terrible egos making it impossible to hold a conversation with. Sense of humor is long gone with any over a few yrs on.
Oh and they all are jealous of us because we get to eat, sleep, fap etc. at work.

[20Mavs11]

Agreed.

Guy in this video was soon arrested and they didn't harm him, other then hitting him with the taser (as seen in the video). These guys did exactly what the citizens who are protesting want, but the headlines still read "hahahah man knocks out cop!" and people are cheering this guy on for what is going on 2,000 miles away. These cops had nothing to do with brown or any other on going case, but get no praise, only insults and bloody fist.

[Flexish]

Considered it but it can be a cruel and unforgiving job. Those who you try to help often seek to harm you. One bad apple spoils the bunch. People want to kill you (and your family) because of what you do for work either due to misinformation or because youre a risk to their illegal business practices. Every night could be your last.

[LatinoSlayer91]

Agreed.

Damn no wonder they shoot unarmed people lol

Got no hands

Should only hire real alpha males

[antiwhitekn1ght]

lmao r u srs? drive around and speed whenever u want....kill people and u get paid vacation... etc

Can confirm in My town we have paid FD. very jelly lol

[Guncutter]

UK brah here. I think American cops get portrayed in a bad way a lot of the time in the media etc.

I spent a lot of time in the States, had a few run in with the cops there and found them to be very professional and courteous, even when I was doin **** I shouldn't have been. More professional than cops at home.
