i can imagine the protests scared a bunch of rubes.
If ur in a poor community i can imagine "becoming a cop" might be a solution to you, i mean i hear that reason a lot from minority law enforcement.
Also like, between warehouse worker, fast food, cable guy, construction, maybe COP might be more respectable and "worth" doing iunno
I hadn't seen recent numbers for Chicago, just going by the eye test. I have noticed a ton of female cops out on beats over the past couple of years. They always look real shocked when this basic middle aged white bitch just flips em the bird out of nowhere.
Lol yeah they got that whole girl power thing going on. Interestingly I never see only one female cop. It's always two. Granted it is out west and youll generally find cops going in twos. The female cops do seem to handle some scenarios better tho. But sometimes you come across a few that seem to have a point to prove and it's like even the dudes aren't this much of an asshole
