Would you wear a uniform that evokes fear & distrust in your neighbors?
Would you risk your mental well-being, affecting you & your loved ones?
Would you be comfortable with helping send someone to prison for years because of a petty parole violation or non-violent offence?
Would you participate in actions that split apart families?
Are there other ways you can build safety, beyond policing, in your community?

Fewer
“More teachers” should definitely be on the list.
Looks like this site promotes police jobs to those who answer “yes” to these questions.
So does the police hiring process.
Okay, you have a filter which takes normal people and assholes and remove most of the normal people. Why would you want to reduce percentage of normal people and add more assholes to the input mix? That will make things even worse.
Because the goal is not to have normal people as cops, it’s to have people willing to enact state violence for arbitrary reasons.
Except that all 3 of the alternatives have absurd qualification requirements and will pay far less and have far fewer material benefits than becoming a cop.
Propaganda with footnotes? More like this please!
Thank you anonymous stranger, and proper respect to Iceland for keeping their Whois information private.
