    “I was 19 year old when I started, and I didn’t start it with this altruistic attitude of ‘I’m going to get in here and help the community and help people.’ Boy, I got in there because it was fun. We got to ride up and down the road fast in cars with, at that time, red lights and sirens. We got to put handcuffs on people and go take people to jail,” he reminisced at his retirement speech in January.

    “And we did a lot of other things that, uh, they don’t do nowadays,” he laughed.

    This is what happens when your policing system attracts criminals.

    I’m good with taking some people to jail, and I’m glad someone can feel good about it.

    I just have zero faith that this guy knew which were the bad people.

      He absolutely does not, seeing as he’s running for office.

    I remembered once James Mattis who was a commander in the united states marine corps came out and said that it “was fun to shoot some people”. This was during the Iraq War and this asshole’s attitude reminded me of that quote.

    America just keeps employing and putting the wrong people in power, as is the American Way, it seems.
