Turnkey;
Chill dude, it is just my opinion. You’re right, it is a shitty job. Am I glad you do it? No, I wish you could pursue a vocation that is more to your liking. I have an undergraduate degree in Criminology. (I have a Master degree in a different field). I had the same job options you have. It is miserable work, I just wish people would recognize it and leave it at that. I had my turn with the field of law enforcement and corrections. I hated it; everyone in the business hated it. You are exposed to things that normal people never experience, and it diminishes each of us. Yes I bashed your profession. I wish you did not have to do it. Everyone needs a job. I understand that. All I ask is to call a spade a spade. I know it sucks, you can’t correct people. I just get pissed when people in the field make it sound like more than it is. I feel the same about LE. People in your profession pontificate about the sacrifice. I say, do something else. I did and I am happier for it.
As far as criminals, we should look at Pareto’s law, i.e. the chronic 20% of criminals commit 80% of crime. Lock the f-ckers up and loose the key. Make people who commit property crimes make restitution, treat drug addicts. Keep violent offenders in lockdown (the Penitentiary model) and execute sex offenders. Return policing to the people and remember, “ an armed society is a polite society”
Again I stand by my opinion, you know the old saying. Don’t let my bullshit views diminish anyone on a personal level.
Happy shooting,
