This story is bothering me a lot. I can't elaborate just now as I am still sorting through all my feelings.It just seems that LE hires without further testing or evaluations on the people in certain areas. I know about budget constraints but some of these people are time bombs and the same could be said for the security forces hired as independent contractors in Iraq.
I had an LE friend tell me that these firms were hiring felons. So, with that said we have to wonder who is allowing these miscreants to be part of a force that is supposed to be protecting us.
Which is funny to me because in larger cities it is nearly impossible to get into the police force. My husband went out for the police last year and he made it through the written exam and 90% of the physical exam until the end when he had to pick up a gun and pull the trigger 10 times and aim into a tiny ring. He made it 6 times until his finger cramped up and that was it for him. Even if he would've passed, he just would've been on a waiting list. He wanted to be a police man so bad and it kills us to hear about all these jerkoff police officers abusing their responsibilities and being a-holes. There are a lot of caring people who want to be on these forces and would do great jobs.
My thoughts go out to the grieving families.
