[QUOTE="JustinG60, post: 15363398, member: 34983"] i think the above mentioned statement about being a white male has 2 inflections... the obvious with racial matters in this country now but the less obvious, a white male is the #1 applicant for law enforcement positions in the United States. it's harder for a white male to obtain a LEO job than any other gender or race combination. personally, after having 8 years on the job, being injured on duty to the point where i was recently informed by my department the lasting damages of my injury will prevent me from ever doing the job again. i will be hidden away until they see fit to force me to be medically retired ...i'm about to be 33 now... as for rewarding? maybe, i think you more take pride in it than there's reward. when i took over my last post while working for Baltimore City Police i made a post that averaged 4 homicides a year (kind of a big post, like 8 blocks) and had made it have 0 homicides for as long as i had it and only 1 shooting that the detectives called me about while i was off duty, made some calls to my CI's, and had the suspect arrested only hours later ...though i ask, how rewarding is it really when you realize rain will prevent crime better than you ever can (any real LEO knows this and jokes about it)? for me, i watched any hopes of progress i made in making the city safer be destroyed in April 2015. it's a tough time to do the job... i also only mentioned i worked for the city because i no longer work there. you'll learn to limit how much you mention specifics about your job when you do it haha [/QUOTE]
