One of the starry-eyed who had a record and then become a policeman, would do just as the article suggests, and, having honestly seen the error of their ways, would use any enhanced cred to further improve things in the hood.<br /><br />This belief in the milk of human kindness crashes head-first into the reality that a criminal will shoot another criminal's mother in the face, just to send a message to their rival. The starry-eyed among us simply don't believe that such evil can exist, and are sure that a job offer will pretty much solve everything.<br /><br />- Charlie<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-15903886341183751702016-11-03T16:20:00.243-05:002016-11-03T16:20:00.243-05:00The reform I'd like to see is making sure that...The reform I'd like to see is making sure that military service doesn't make hiring a sure thing since an all vet. force <i>can</i> develop a warped culture.

There's always been means of obtaining waivers through Police Officers Standards and Training Commissions for law enforcement candidates with disqualifying misdemeanor conviction histories. It's also not unheard of for certain felony convictions to be waivered. <br />The recruit candidate has to prove their rehabilitation or redemption to the hiring agency who in turn present this to their POST board. Not everyone who applies for a waiver gets one. A waiver's very unlikely to happen with more then one conviction on record.Sport Pilothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04862280966739841769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-4871361681143702342016-11-03T09:32:42.082-05:002016-11-03T09:32:42.082-05:00Shades of "A Clockwork Orange", as Alex ...Shades of "A Clockwork Orange", as Alex meets two of his former criminal compatriots:<br /><br />"A job for two who are now of job age - the Police!"<br /><br />After which the two criminal cops drag him off and beat him up.Roger Ritternoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-2086440096952576082016-11-03T09:17:13.400-05:002016-11-03T09:17:13.400-05:00See the Civil Guard in Michael Z Williamson's ...See the Civil Guard in Michael Z Williamson's books about the Earth in his Freehold series - THIS is how such gets established...Duke of URL VFM#391https://www.blogger.com/profile/04267949327348629898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-2690456496139282312016-11-03T09:14:43.849-05:002016-11-03T09:14:43.849-05:00If the fed dot gov succeeds in this in about 3 yea...If the fed dot gov succeeds in this in about 3 years it will be reasonable to assume that a minority person in a police uniform (or plainclothes, for that matter) will be Just Another Criminal, and due all the respect we currently bestow upon criminals. It will be a great deal more common among big city agencies, but I doubt <i>any</i> police agency bigger than Mayberry will be immune. <br /><br />The politicians running police agencies - and they are <i>politicians</i> not <i>police officers</i> - should think long and hard about the amount and intensity of corruption they are introducing into their agencies. <br /><br />So should the honest, hard working cops employed in those agencies.

That interferes with the profit-making enterprises of one of their main constituencies, organized crime. Think I'm kidding? Is it just happenstance that all the most gang-ridden corrupt cities have Democrat machine government? The Democratic Party and organized crime are Siamese twins. Making law enforcement corrupt, ineffective, and politically selective is a goal here.Trimegistusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6244999628674918029.post-9938616471492292702016-11-03T07:41:40.748-05:002016-11-03T07:41:40.748-05:00Hmm.

In july, someone claiming to be an FBI whistleblower posted an AMA about Clintons, at 4chan out of all places. <br /><br />It seemed, at time, like some high-effort trolling, but the latest leaks and rumors don't contradict any of the facts mentioned there. <br /><br />https://archive.is/7uNkgY.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10829210511429371730noreply@blogger.com
