I don't get the impression that in most areas nowadays ... being a cop is a good gig.
Had a cop in my office last week asking me to hire him on at near entry-level pay on a construction crew. No joke.

well I agree with this, but clearly nepotism isn't the solution.
Many cops know weed should be legal, but they also know if its legalized they will lose their job.
Will be interesting to see what the verdict is at the end of the year. Denver is allowing recreational sales, and Seattle is close. Outside the big city I doubt it matters.

maybe he was a detective the whole time... and the flunking out of college thing was an undercover operation... hmmmm....

How difficult is it to become detective? Does everyone start out as a beat cop?

It depends on the agency.
Sheriffs don't have many, if any requirements. It's a political appointee system. That's why a lot of politicians and their relatives have done stints as sheriff deputies.
Many city forces have more requirements due to positions falling under civil service.
I think most state police forces require degrees and years of experience.

No they wouldn't when I was a deputy we would go on non-stop calls for 12 hours with complaints such as I can't get my child to go to school, my husband has a girlfriend, my neighbor threw a cigarette butt in my yard, neighbor's flowers fall in my grass, there is someone in my attic, and a black guy walking in the neighborhood.

I don't necessarily have a problem with ex drug dealers becoming cops because I don't think it should be illegal in the first place.
Somebody who was a drug dealer knowingly and willingly broke the law (whether you agree with the law or not) and essentially exploited people's addictions for money.
That's scummy.
Why would you trust somebody like that to uphold the law?

olitically connected to the sheriff
No way illegal drugs are as widespread as they are without cooperation from a number of sheriffs.
Do you think some small town sheriff is going to take on a drug distribution network? Nope.

In terms of ethics and morality, there's a vast gulf in between flipping a few bags of weed and being a dirty cop.
I do think cops should stand up more often against hypocrisy and any corruption or abuse, though.

If he is qualified, it is not nepotism. If he isn't a convicted felon then he can apply for the job. Don't panic dude. He won't ask you who the new kingpins are....

Squeky clean doesnt really exist, its just that some people keep quite, others are too stupid to keep quite.
