Hahahahahahaha!! I have gotten that comparison plenty of times before and it still cracks me up

I one million percent believe police work is a calling, and you’re either cut out for it or you’re not. I was called, I served, and now I’m enjoying the benefits of retirement at a young age. I’ve seen many tragedies in my career, but the memories that haunt the most are those of children that died way too young. Those were the toughest scenes for me to work. Maintaining a positive mindset, and my spiritual faith has kept me somewhat sane. Great video, I subscribed.

You mentioned it here but I can't stress enough is to learn something else while you are an LEO! Don't count on your cop skills to find a job that pays as well or even better than Law Enforcement. Find something that pays well, is recession proof, and a school that is flexible with your schedule if you can. I didn't know what I know now and regret not learning another high paying skill after my career was over. Don't make the same mistake!

Long story as to why I got in it but it all started in childhood when watching cops and I really enjoyed the episodes when the cops caught people in the act of stealing, robbing people, or breaking into places. That ended up being my favorite part of the job, catching thieves along with serving warrants…and having a loyal K9 by my side for 3 of those years. But, when I went to work as a SRO, I was surprised how much I liked mentoring the students as best I could. Law enforcement is challenging for a family, but not impossible. Hope this helps

I worked in Corrections and hated every second of it. I didn't even last 3 months before I quit. I wanted to be a police officer but kept failing the written exam. I moved to a bigger city where a written exam isn't an entry level test. I think I have the real possibility of making it now. Problem is, I'm scared. Not of failing but of making it and hating it. I want so bad to love the job I'm terrified that if I hate it I officially wont know what to do anymore.

Hello sir. I’m really considering being a chp. I realize the risks of the job but one thing I highly value in life is God and rest. I worry it will take me from church and sleep. If I’m not rested my physical performance is poor and that’s just for sport but I would want to always be at peak performance if I ever were in a dangerous situation. If I value 8 hours of sleep EVERYDAY would you say this career or way of life might not be for me? I value taking care of my self physically and mentally and staying active. I’ve read a lot online about cops developing sleep problems and I couldn’t imagine living life like that. Thanks

What rational and sane person would even consider becoming a cop? After watching countless body cam videos, I know law enforcement is no longer considered an honorable and respectful profession. Nowadays, it would take a lunatic to ever dream of becoming a peace officer.

Many cops in this country don't even know the laws. I highly recommend taking a screenshot of this list of KZread channels and then doing a search for them here on KZread. Because then, you can become more knowledgeable about the tyranny that is taking place in this country. Cops are earning the hate. Wake up america! 1. Audit Archive 2. The Civil Rights Lawyer 3.
