Do You Think That You Would Make A Good Cop?

[LoneKiller]

I don't think that I would. If someone I was dealing with spit in my face or something, I don't think that I could keep my cool. Especially if it was a drunk. What about you?

 

[Ghost Boy]

Well I'm pretty tolerant of people for one. I also try to do what's right and be fair to others. But If anything goes crazy, like say a shootout or a car chase, I'm not sure If I can keep cool or be able to step to the plate.

 

[The Good Citizen]

No, I'm far too much of a coward

 

[LoneKiller]

Well. That's why the good Lord invented tasers.

 

[Felix]

No, being a policeman requires extrovert skills such as dealing with informers, co-workers, suspects... I'm definetly no good for that.

Maybe I'd be good in the forensic department, working in crime scenes, kind of like "Dexter".

 

[LoneKiller]

You'd have to squeeze in time to murder others don't forget.

 

[Peter Lorre]

I think I'd be a good cop.


I hope so anyway

 

[OddlyUnique]

No chance in hell. They wouldn't even let me graduate from the academy. I have zero tolerance. Not really much patience & I get shorty when I don't want to deal with certain people. And I'm a hot head.

 

[Trent]

idk.

i have mixed feelings on this.

i've wanted to become a cop for a long time. the only reason i haven't gone through the academy is because all of the cutbacks. i can't imagine putting my life on the line for an insecure work environment, a shitty benefits package, and a salary slightly larger than a manager at the local subway restaurant.

beyond that, i'd make a good cop because i was a criminal. i think like a criminal. i know how criminals think. if there's a bad actor in the crowd, i can pick him out. if there is a drug deal going down, i spot it. if there is danger approaching, i know it.

my only issue would be drawing the line between "law enforcement" and "due process". lol

i know in certain situations, i would be HIGHLY tempted to take matters into my own hands.

 

[IgnoredOne]

Yes.

 

[VanillaCreme]

Sure, although I'm pretty certain I'd be the "bad cop" in most situations. I usually am.

 

[Parabolani]

I'd be Robocop.

I guess it depends on the job. My dad was a deputy sheriff for 10 years working in prisons, patrolling the streets and finally teaching children. He never had to shoot anyone. He was good at deescalating situations. Once a big guy threatened to beat my dad up at a traffic wreck. My dad said, "I'm sure it would hurt too." The guy laughed and walked away.

 

[LoneKiller]

Kudos on your father's display of self control. I would have arrested the prick.

 

[SophiaGrace]

I'm 5 foot tall and 100 lbs. Do you really think people would take me seriously? Lol

 

[Okiedokes]

Nope.. I'd be walking over to a person's car trying to be all srs bzness and then burst out laughing. And yeah.. I'd get laughed at also... being small.

 

[lonelyfairy]

No. I am too short and too sensitive, it would not work, lol.

 

[LoneKiller]

This would level the playing field.

 

[SophiaGrace]

LK you also have to do take down manuevers. Guns are used by cops as a last resort if they feel their life is in danger.

 

[Sci-Fi]

Part of me would, part of me wouldn't.
