Nor can we do anything about the LEO culture, they will have to work on fixing that themselves. If they want advisers we can be there for them, but they must take the first step and admit they need help.

Sorry, chump. You're not going to be able to tuck-and-roll your way out of this, no matter how hard the right tries to make you out to be the bestkop.

But I want to move there and sign up for his job. I will even do a good job and not act like an asshole, you know, actually earn it.

I had a friend that was a juvenile probation officer that hit those benefits. Unfortunately he was only about 49 years old when he passed away.

49 is too young to die. Probation is a grind. In many instances it is more difficult than being a street cop. The great, great, great majority of the people that a street cop deals with on a daily basis are good, honest decent people, a probation officer often deals with the problem children of our society. Alcohol, drugs, broken homes, molestation, they are exposed on a daily basis to real societal problems.

Your friend at 49 could have had a 25+ year career in L/E. This guy is just 40, at what age do they let people join the PD there. He would have had to start at 20 to have 20 on the job.

He could have apologized gone away, this self described victim humiliates himself and needs to be sued.

You can probably hit the right-wing speakers' circuit before too long, making ten times the money you did as a kid-brutalizing law enforcement officer. God knows you've got plenty of conservative support for your actions.
