I’ve given several, you just don’t seem to want to accept them no matter how many ways we approach the issue. Ideally, everybody would go to college and continue to learn and improve for their entire life. Unfortunately, that’s not the world we live in. In the real world, we have a population that is increasingly fat, has little interest in risking their lives for a 50 grand a year, and when they are educated and have opportunities, being a police officer usually isn’t at the top of their list.
I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not, but college degrees are required in many parts of the country to be a police officer. I don’t have a problem with that, if they can get enough quality applicants with those requirements and think it helps, more power to them. What I have a problem with is thinking that rural Arkansas PD needs college graduates to write tickets when only a fraction of their population has degrees and even fewer want to be cops. It’s not necessary and is completely unrealistic.
