Congratulation Troopers... You've just completed one of the toughest and the longest Academies in the country. Your now part of the MSP family... Wear the uniform with pride, you've earned it. Smile, and ignore any negative comments that may be place here after mine. I for one, thank you for your sacrifice so far
ReplyDeleteOh please, NYPD academy is 22 months, please sir know what your talking about.
DeleteHeadline got it right, this is an ADVISORY.
ReplyDeleteSix months of training?(conditioning/brainwashing) Uh, people, it takes longer than that to get through beautician school! (And stylists don't carry guns)
young punks with newfound authority and a gun to boot. what could go wrong?
ReplyDelete70 more on the payroll that we don't have the money to pay. 70 more added to the police state that we now have. How many cops are enough?
ReplyDeleteWhy does it seem everybody wants to slam our law enforcement officers recently? I have had about a half dozen speeding tickets in my 40 years of driving and yes, I was speeding.
ReplyDeleteI was speeding, knew I was speeding and didn't try to blame the officer for my actions. I was the one speeding, not the officer. They were doing their job.
Quit taking you anger out on others for your mistakes.
To 9:32: Did it ever cross your mind that perhaps 70 officers have retired and need to be replaced?
