In hostage situations, if you shoot the hostage taker, you're a killer. And if you don't shoot him and continue talking to him and someone is injured or killed, then you're indecisive and stupid. Every hour of every day. Until someone needs you. Pay isn't great.
Hours are ridiculous.
And you probably won't get a summer vacation until you're on the job 20 years. Now, if you're still interested in becoming a cop, you can immediately apply because a few fine officers unexpectedly lost their jobs recently. Including Officer James Naim, an Aliquippa Police Officer, gunned down while on foot patrol. You're unappreciated until you're dead. Then you get a parade.
