Remember when they were writing tickets for standing on the beach, sitting in the park?

I'd rather see a thorough psych evaluation and childhood history to weed out the crazies, revenge seekers (who were bullied), trigger happy murderers in disguise.

300 corrupt cops here we go! Maybe 1 out of 100% not corrupt

But, no IQ test..wonderful. a family?

They should be approachable when people needs help...

Brazilian Jiu Jitsu might prove more useful than firearms training. It reduces the likelihood of a panicking cop resorting to lethal force.

Hopefully they don't hire more mental cases

Honor and obey the constitution. If criminals know that each and every innocent victim could be carrying a concealed gun, they'd think twice about committing the crime. If they do and get shot, one less douche bag off the streets. An armed society is a polite society.

The one respect they got to earn it these officers they want respect they got to earn it because they try to disrespect people of the citizens of Houston Texas or the United States of America I think that's not right they want to play dumb with anyone that's what they get because they fight with other people is that going to make it to a challenge of the world of the United States that's what I see and that's what I talked always said they don't like it oh well for them to make it enough because there's not no one over no one because they got to do their stuff correctly and they don't do it the government would that's what they got to earn their respect completely of the Constitution of the United States of America of the United States

Ever wonder what it takes to be a police officer? Not much these days but 6 months on the range should produce sharp shooters sitting in the cruiser all day.
