I live in the Western area of the united states. Specifically Oregon
I have been trying to become a police officer now for about a year, but with all the unrest and lack of support, I don't really know where to go at this point... Im open to really any place that actually lets police officers do their jobs and support them.
my father was a police officer for 27 years retired, he is a salty old school cop who started back in the '80s. He tells me every time I talk to him about law enforcement that I should find a different career because no one supports you anymore and the police chiefs, sheriffs, and elected officials are willing to throw you to the wolves faster than anything to save their pensions. He tells me that everyone is a yes man and no one has the balls anymore to stand up for what is right.
and I mean I kind of agree with him... It's sad
Portland is a war zone with homicides be up 327% & gun violence up like 127%. They absolutely hate the police there and want to destroy them. Police get no support from the elected officials and on top of that, they are removing qualified immunity here, or at least they are trying to. From what I hear Seattle is horrible also.
I guess im making this post to ask is it really that bad for police today? Does no one really support you...
If I could pick somewhere to go it would be a state/city that has not defunded and never will. States/cities that let their police officers actually be police officers. I listen to donut operator a lot and he recently put out a video named "Suspect Mag Dumped after Ambushing Cops - police breakdown" and in the video, he stated that sheriffs and police chiefs in Florida and Texas are a completely different bread. What I think he means by this is that law enforcement officers in Florida and Texas are not the "gentle", "soft-touch type" willing to dismantle the whole police department and accept this defunding bull crap.
Some states im interested in are Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Florida, some parts of Washington because it's close to home.
States I would never want to work are California or New York
So yeah I dont know where to go?
