They're making a pitch in the media again about how they're on a hiring blitz and how they're in dire need of more officers. What pisses me off is that they're never hiring the right people!!!
Take me for example, I'm 6'2", minority, speak 3 languages, physically fit, trained in multiple self-defence and proactive programs, educated up the yin-yang (college and university grad), no criminal record or associations, born and raised in TO, experienced in both law and computer related industries, excellent driving skills with no driving incidents (not even speeding!), possess common sense like you wouldn't believe, but most importantly, I have superb interpersonal skills, I get along with everyone and everyone gets along with me.
Basically I'm the prime candidate of exactly what they need. It's not "too good to be true" cuz I'm proven to be exactly what I offer and very capable of the job. Yet they've passed on me everytime I tried out. WTF is that?
There are people I went to school with and worked with, who have absolutely no right to be a cop, yet they are! They are the worst candidates possible yet there they are in full uniform protecting us. WTF? One guy was such an asshole, that everyone in school just basically accosted him and never interacted with him, yet he's a cop now. Another guy ratted out his partner for leaving a site while doing security even though his partner left the site to get him food, and now he's a cop. A girl nearly failed the college program and had no common sense whatsoever, and she's a cop. A guy I worked with was always on a power trip and never gave a lower leveled dude any slack, and he's a cop. See a pattern there?
This was about 5 years ago and I've given up on the police. I can't trust'em and I don't wanna be a part of'em ever. Granted, there are good cops that deserve to be there, but you never see'em.
It's no wonder the general public are more against the police each day, we can't help it when all they do is hire assholes and dumbasses.
That's my rant.
