“Video has changed everything.”  Finally.  How long has it been going on and how often has it happened?

If I were some high school kid or just about anyone else looking for a job and thinking about becoming a police employee, this would scare the s**t out of me.  Good.

But that doesn’t change the fact that it is broken.

EDIT:  This came out wrong.

I (still) believe it is a noble profession.  I think it shouldn’t necessarily be a career.  It definitely should not be a government handout.  It absolutely should not be a guaranteed job where you can do whatever you want (and be assisted in that).

I think it is a great job for a few years.  A little like being drafted.

It’ll be interesting to watch the numbers–the budgets, employment forecasts, and sheer numbers.  It is going to get more expensive, that’s for sure.
