My city has a cop problem. The problem is that they're constantly understaffed because they require a four year degree but pay less than literally any private employer in the city that requires a four year degree. Hell, I think even the teachers make more, not that I think that's a bad thing.

Internet Wizard posted:Cops probably wouldn’t be getting doused with water if they were welcome members of their community rather than an external occupying force but I guess that doesn’t let enough people play soldier dressup it also doesn't help recruitment when job requirements include "has no priors" and "doesn't smoke a weed" and "can afford a four year degree"

The other recruitment problem that my local department is having is the fact that the base salary is barely enough to cover cost of living for a family of four in the community they service... and this is after the county approved a 10% funding increase last year. Who the gently caress wants to risk getting shot during a routine traffic stop and still live paycheck to paycheck?

SpaceSDoorGunner posted:People who get off to having power. This guy got my point. Also the point was tacitly directed at the whole "members of the community" sentiment: it's hard to be a member of the community if you can't afford to live there because gigantic national property corporations buy up all of the reasonably priced housing and flip it so they can charge enormous amounts of rent. Unless it's zoned for multifamily already, in which case they evict everyone, knock the whole thing down, and build "mixed use" that rents for 2.5 times what it did before.

Liquid Communism posted:The solution is not being a paid enforcer for the rich who are set on gentrifying the community out of existence if you want to be a member of the community, buddy. So your solution is that people with a conscience never go into law enforcement, leaving no choice but to hire people without a conscience. That seems like a good idea.
