minus-squareNeuromancer@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoI was a reserve cop. Means I did it for free because I wanted to use my skills to help the community. My department was pretty decent. Seems like the last 10 years things have went down quickly. I’d hate to see how my old department looks now. You’re correct it should attract people who want to help the community. Law enforcement is a noble career and we get people like this in it. It should be a job where you don’t fear the police.
