One of my friends from high school has considered becoming a cop because criminology is easy. He was always a little chuddy but more because he wasn't that bright and came from a poor background. He was usually well intentioned.

    In the united states, there are no jobs that are better than cops for the pay to training ratio, with training including both time and difficulty. It's super easy learning how to be a cop, they're hiring everywhere, and the pay is stupid high. Cops with relatively little experience can make like $85k to $90k here. For perspective, firefighters and social workers make half that. Hell, most office workers I know personally with masters degrees in technical fields and years of experience don't make that much. They make it so easy to be a pig. I think the only way they winnow it down is by making sure they end up keeping the most brutal and evil ones.
