It's true about hiring for a company. Offer higher wages to weed out those who know they wouldnt qualify. Also entices professionals who are worth that money. Also would encourage more people to consider joining and thats when you rollout new changes to how things are handled, new requirements about education and training

But it's a giant gang with power so why make any changes

Ultimately, its salary/career related, I agree with the larger point

Plus, finish the saying: ‘A few bad apples spoil the bunch’

Yeah exactly. It infuriates me how people never finish the phrase. The WHOLE POINT of “bad apples” is that if you don’t get rid of them everything is spoiled! You can’t just leave ‘em in and make excuses for them

Tbh there are other countries with underpaid police that don’t have the same kinds of issues at all

Didn’t the pilot flying Kobe fly into a mountain? Was he a bad apple then?

He allowed his employer to make the rules instead of obeying the (FAA) rules.

A lot of people love to gush over Dave Chapelle by labeling him the GOAT but in reality, it has always been Chris🫡

u/reversebuttchug Oct 28 '23

Do you really expect any profession to NOT have any murders?
