Again, not all security or cops but some bad apples are slipping through the hiring process and it is becoming more and more dangerous to both the citizens and fellow officers.

that's why they need to actually meet with someone. which is what that one city thought was being done, and then found out it wasn't. and another issue is that too often, when a patrolman shows maybe he is in the wrong line of work, the union or fellow officers, or both, close ranks around that person.
my husband worked with another electrician--a very bad one. he hated working with him. electricity doesn't play. I cannot imagine why a policeman would want to work with an inept officer, that only makes it more dangerous for him and everyone. those guys should be given desk jobs, or something. you have to have the right mentality. you can't take stuff personally, you have to stay calm under pressure. not everyone can do that.
