Isn’t it that LAPD basically is run by gangs?
I thought it was the sheriff’s department?
Hmm, seems you’re right. Some activity in the LAPD, but LASD is much, much worse.
Isn’t that synonymous with police?
300k a year and all of the free drugs you can handle. Other perks include blackmailing sex workers, strong arming food from restaurants, carefree drunk driving, and fantastic union benefits that “civilians” can only dream of.
Seattle had one (or more?) of them making over 400k with “overtime.”
SPD officers had a massive payday in 2024 owing to hefty 23 percent raises from the new police guild contract, which were applied retroactively for the past three years. Seventy-six officers made more than $300,000 in 2024, while nearly 400 officers cleared $200,000.

“Overtime” doing “paperwork”.
Far be it from me to tell someone they’re maximizing their income but ACAB and it’s significantly in excess of what is reasonable.
Paperwork is still work. If you’re over your time, you should be paid overtime.
Sure, but they aren’t actually doing their job. They’re sleeping in their cars or working a second “security” job but double-billing the hours.
Are we talking about the actual overtime or the abuses? If the former, my comment makes sense. If the latter, I guess they were just circle-jerking by saying “bad things are bad?”
if i pull more than 3 hours un pre approved ot i get an audit

Are you saying that’s a good thing, a bad thing, or just stating it?
-
Do law enforcement agencies in your area have similar restrictions?
-
Yep. Cops in my town routinely make more than the mayor with overtime they stole.

There’s a great pic of one of them sleeping in their patrol vehicle.
Poor Piggie needs time to recuperate from a night of drunk driving and stalking women
I know you’re trying to circlejerk so forgive me for turning the lights on, but:
If you work 6PM-6AM+ and you have court at 8AM-12PM, then work starts again at 6PM, would you not be tired?
What about if your shift is 6PM-6AM+ and you have training from 7AM to 4PM, then back to your 6PM-6AM+ shift?
Both of those happened to me. No matter how much you dislike cops, they can’t be immune to fatigue to make you happier.
Wow, those are some terrible management practices. Sounds like the people who run that outfit should be fired and the whole thing defunded & shut down.
Agree with the first, but I’m not an anarchist so I can’t agree with the latter two.
But it sounds like you’ve conceded the point that fatigue is a very real part of the job, so even if we never hear from moldy_rice I’m glad you acknowledged it.
Wow. You’d think of all cities, Seattle would hold their cops accountable. I guess my understanding on Seattle was wrong.
Seattle has some of the worst cops in the country and we have for a long time. You’re thinking of weird hipster art and cafe culture, which does exist in a few neighborhoods, but the primary powers are big business like Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and Boeing.
Or my pet theory which is that indiscriminate hate from the public makes an agency worse, not better.
Why would you want to join an agency if you know the locals hate you?
Simple: If you don’t care what anyone thinks, or even enjoy the hate.
Obviously, that’s going to be a very bad egg.
Haha fuck off, they were shit and then people got rightfully mad at them. Bootlicker.
He’s not saying they weren’t bad just that instead of fixing things the police just hire wise people because they are the only ones that apply.
The implied alternative, that we should be grateful for the violent racists in the hopes that they hire better people, is unacceptable.
or pigs are shitty everwhere.
Yeah, it’s a shame you haven’t reformed them.
perhaps it’s time we just retired the slavecatcher service entirely
The US police hasn’t really been a slave-catching service since the days of chattel slavery, but it’s possible you have bona fide slave-catchers in your area if you’re not in the US. Why haven’t you done anything about that?

This is why you don’t have free healthcare or affordable housing
Nah, it’s defense spending by far, especially when you factor in our payments to Israel.
Dang, wtf was I doing going to school to get a real job when I could just grift my way to a pension at triple my current salary?
Not shooting pets, for one.
Implying that if ZoteTheMighty became a cop, they’d just blast a bunch of dogs?
What? Are there other job requirements or something?

Sorry if you were fantasizing that you’d get to shoot dogs if you joined, but that doesn’t seem to be what they’re looking for.
That’s one of the hobbies they look for with potential recruits.
