Nobody forces anybody to be a cop. Its one of the few jobs that you get without a college degree.

You can start young and if you pass all the tests make detective some day along with some good jack and great benefits.

You also get to go to the front of the line at night clubs, fairs and other events. You almost NEVER pay for a meal, and for comedy's sake all the free doughnuts you can handle.

You NEVER get traffic or speeding tickets off duty the minute you flash that badge. And by chance you should shoot and kill some innocent bystander every cop that was there will lie through his teeth to IA for you.

Most cops only hang with other cops. They go the to gun ranges together and shoot free tax payer amo.

And if God forbid one does honestly get killer in the line of fire they get a huge funeral with a 21 gun salute.

What about the poor bastard that dies falling off a roof while working for a roof company, does he get a 21 gun salute?

Then you have the PBA always calling and asking for money for cops.

Like I said, I'm armed and don't need any cops to protect me.
