Why would you want to be a policeman in a city where the city leaders and the people that you are sworn to protect and serve have no respect for you. They are actually allowed to spit on you and if you so much as touch them you will be sued and the city will pay the claim especially if the claimant is black. Just say NO. Let them police themselves.

There are plenty of employers looking for employees try something safer and more socially acceptable in todays society.
