Lol, I'm glad I'm not the only one that wanted to point it out!
Is this why they oppose abortions? Gotta keep them staffing numbers up somehow
All Cats Are Beautiful
The one time I'd disown a child based on their gender.
The absence of this joke is how I knew the Kill James Bond episode about Cars 2 predated the acronym.
Police navidad.
License and registration ma’am.
I, too, think this.
Back in the day, there were police departments that would only hire the oldest son in a family. If you were a combat veteran with an older brother you were out of luck.
They wanted men who'd been leaders from the time they were children.
What day are we talking about here? Because that seems like an old house wives tale that is attempting to white wash the violent history of policing.
There was no time period where police were actual leaders or responsible with their power. The history of modern policing can usually be traced back to slave hunters or privatized security agencies who were mainly used to murder labour movements.
What in that statement says that I'm 'whitewashing' the police?
The police were almost 100% male, except for a few prison matrons or undercover detectives. They also had restrictions on height because they wanted officers who could intimidate any suspect.
And you seem to have a wild idea about what the word 'leader' means.
What in that statement says that I'm 'whitewashing' the police?
The part where you stated that they at one point in history attempted to restrict their hiring practices based on generally admired qualities.
So you think that when towns and cities were hiring cops they wanted people who weren't 'generally admired?'
Have you met a cop? They want violent power tripping assholes, they don't care if anyone admires them. Like I said, the first modern police force was empowered by the state to catch runaway slaves. Most early police forces were used as strike breakers, they weren't pillars of the community.
