Police special-units sometimes get a surplus MRAP.

Are there a lot of mines in Arlington?

No. But apparently there are a few really stupid people in Arlington.

The job tends to attract dumb people. It doesn’t take a lot of intelligence or training to be a cop.

About a third of sworn officers have a bachelors degree. Roughly 50 percent have an associates. Just over 5% have a graduate degree. Those numbers come close to mirroring the general U.S. population, the people they protect and serve.

It takes a fair amount of training to be a cop. The career also offers a great deal of specialized continuing education for officers. Like any other job people need to seize the opportunities that they are presented.

Your perception about law enforcement being dumb reflects poorly on you.

So people here think the "militarization" of police is bad because it helps keep them safe?

You know what's really dumb? Paying top dollar for a top college that leads to a job with no pension and a lower salary than what cops make.

it’s just a truck. An unarmed, bulletproof, rescue vehicle

It's impossible to get spare parts and repair. They are almost always white elephants.

The large police departments in NoVA have the money to buy their own SWAT vehicles.

They have some mobile command posts which are far more useful than armored vehicles and select-fire M4s.

Why do armored vehicles trigger so many people? They are literally just heavy trucks with thick steel walls.

Thank you for proving my point. You need only a high school diploma or a GED to become a police officer.

Police academy is 8-12 weeks of training.

Spare me your scolding. You’re a bloody idiot. Most cops are beyond dumb.

Wow, it's really going to crush your ego when one of those dummies teaches you about the law. You should definitely refuse to get out of your car when given a lawful order to do so.

Didn't we already dispel the training myths, or did you just drop in to say something stupid? The FCCJA is a 6 month 1100+ hour training program. College kids carrying 18 credit hour schedules are in class around 720 actual hours per year. Attempts at condecension based on incorrect information exposes both bias and ignorance. You excel at that.

Where's the nuance? Where's the interest in incremental improvement? Are you that incapable of critical thought?

Are you for real? Do you not see the black and white thinking on the other side as well?

Kind and decent people tend to get drummed out of the force.

My brother is one of those kind and sweet people. He’s been an officer for 15ish years now. He’s caring and helpful, which is why he wanted to serve. It’s been his dream since childhood when he saw an officer help a couple that had been robbed.

But he’s hated simply because of the uniform he wears. That’s the problem with hate. When you universally hate a group of people, you hurt the many in that group who don’t fit your preconceived notions.

Police have a hard job sure
Are the trained enough no

I work in a court house the majority are awful humans especially the entitled white males.

Don’t get me started on how bailiffs in court houses ex cops and sheriffs make a ridiculous amount of money and they sleep at their jobs. Yes literally take naps in courtrooms while judges hear cases. A women recently got beaten in an elevator by her ex husband because the bailiffs decided it was ok to send him out the same time as her to the parking lot after court . Ugh it was oast lunch time

Ok, so how many entitled white males would you say aren't awful humans? Let's say none. So that also means that the majority of doctors, lawyers, professors, engineers, construction workers, CEOs, CFOs, accountants, etc. are also awful, right?

Rescue vehicles? That is rich. The surplus military equipment will be used to oppress and arrest democrats.
