Why don't more black men and women become police officers if you hate "bad" cops?

It takes about 4-6 months to a year to become a police officer, so if our community is so upset about the current racist policing, why aren't more black men and women jumping to be police officers? We always encourage more black men and women in tech, finance, and computer science, but not policing when we so many people seem to be upset about it?? The average salary is right about 60k as well, so you aren't going to starve.

Especially black women, we are the most educated group in the country and hold degrees, so... you are highly preferred to be a police officer since they prefer college degree holders over a high school diploma. Many people do not like office politics in corporate america either, so having a more active job where you aren't sitting in an office could be a nice change in scenery.

I see so many people talking about how police should have reacted, what should have been done and how police should use a taser instead of a gun, how police should aim for arms and legs, so why not be a cop and do that in your own community? Also, many BW want to learn to use a gun and get a license to carry, so why not do that in policing? You can also be the change you want to see by joining police departments and suggesting different ways to approach situations and influencing the way police train people.

Police officers get paid about $60k a year which is decent if you live with someone who is making about the same as you or more, you will be in a 6 figure household. This can go up to 6 figures with experience.

We also complain about some black men not making enough or not having the motivation to be "successful", so why don't more BM jump into this profession and be the change you want to see? 60-70k a year isn't bad and if you are so passionate about change, join and police your own communities.

Um, I don't want to be shot at by anyone. It's a very stressful job and I've got friends who are officers.

That is easy: Not everyone believes in "changing things from the inside." Especially not when they believe that being on the inside would be to expose themselves to overt racism and require them to be complicit in things they think are odious.

I would like to once I finish my enlistment. I don't tell people because they assume I'm a self hater and I'm trying to join the force to kill black people. Even though I am a bw, it's crazy to see how emotionally reactive people are. I know so many BM and bw cops who do their best to help but nobody cares. It's discouraging but I still plan to do the job. I believe in solution based action and being the change you want to see.

I see many groans but it's like, how else do you want to see change? I see people asking for police from the community, but many police do not live in black communities, so how does that make any sense? Black people live in those communities so should black people police them?

I honestly think an influx of more black people going into the policing profession would make sense based on the same issues I always see people bring up. And the pay isn't bad.

This might be a plausible reason law enforcement is a complicated career choice. What this Black Woman and ex police officer had to endure was absolutely unacceptable. 20 years on the force, too? No one should have to tolerate this.


Black Buffalo police officer fired for trying to stop chokehold wins ruling, to get pension​

By Evan Simko-Bednarski, CNN

Updated 1:02 AM ET, Thu April 15, 2021
(CNN)A Black police officer in Buffalo, New York, who was fired in 2008 for intervening when a White colleague employed a chokehold will be given back pay and a pension, a New York judge ruled.

The officer, Cariol Horne, was fired following a 2006 incident in which she tried to stop an officer from using a chokehold on a handcuffed suspect. Horne served on the Buffalo police force for 19 of the 20 years required to receive a pension.

"The message was sent that you don't cross that blue line and so some officers -- many officers don't," Horne said in a 2020 interview with CNN's Brianna Keilar.

"I had five children and I lost everything but [the suspect] did not lose his life," Horne said then. "So, if I have nothing else to live for in life, at least I can know that I did the right thing and that [he] still breathes."

Tuesday's ruling restored Horne's pension and vacated an earlier court ruling upholding her dismissal.

When asked by CNN's Don Lemon on Wednesday whether she felt vindicated by the ruling, she said, "It's getting there."
She added, "If everyone is not vindicated then I'm not vindicated," saying she would continue to push for accountability in police departments.

CNN reached out to the city on Wednesday but received no immediately reply. Michael J. DeGeorge, spokesman for Buffalo, told the Buffalo News: "The City has always supported any additional judicial review available to Officer Horne and respects the court's decision."

Neither the Buffalo Police Department nor the Buffalo Police Benevolent Association immediately responded to a request for comment.

"The legal system can at the very least be the mechanism to help justice prevail, even if belatedly," Erie County Supreme Court Judge Dennis E. Ward wrote in his decision.
Ward referenced the cases of George Floyd -- who died after a Minneapolis police officer pressed his knee on his neck for nearly nine-and-a-half minutes -- and Eric Garner-- the New York man who died after being placed in a chokehold -- among other alleged instances of excessive force by police.

"One of the issues in all of these cases is the role of other officers at the scene, and particularly their complicity in failing to intervene to save the life of a person to whom such unreasonable physical force is being applied," Ward wrote.

Ward referenced Buffalo lawmakers who penned a law obligating police officers to intervene in instances of excessive force and named the legislation after Horne. In so doing, Ward wrote, the city "has thus already determined that Officer Horne intervened to save the life of a civilian.

Horne addressed the court decision in a statement issued through her attorney.
"My vindication comes at a 15 year cost, but what has been gained could not be measured," she said. "I never wanted another Police Officer to go through what I had gone through for doing the right thing."

She called on lawmakers nationwide to pass similar legislation to Buffalo's "Cariol's Law," which obligates officers to intervene and seeks to legally protect those who do.

Speaking to Lemon, Horne said the law will "punish an officer if they don't intervene" and that for officers, "If you feel like you're going to break the law, you won't break it, or at least you shouldn't break it."

CNN's Sheena Jones contributed to this report.

this is great. i think actually doing someone to be the change is better than just complaining. do you know how much you are going to be paid in your state once you are finished with everything?

...because it’s systemic? There’s a lot of black cops that go in trying to be positive change for our community but the systematic issue is that black + not white ppl lives are valued less than white ppls.

if there are more black cops, then you cannot be ostracized as easily if that is the case. i don't think a hypothetical situation should stop someone at a career. you can get bullied in tech, nursing, computer science, basically anywhere in corporate america but people still do it and are fine.

Easier said than done, Op. Racial trauma is one reason why Blacks don’t find Police work ‘attractive‘ but considering what this officer endured? Her fight was significant but what she had to endure was absolutely outrageous. No one should have tolerate this.

I'm so glad to know that Cariol Horne's pension was restored. I hoping that would happen.

There have been many black people and other people with positive intentions who go into the criminal justice/police officer field naively thinking that they’ll make a positive impact and dismantle the system but then are met with the reality of corrupt higher ups and coworkers and are then targeted by those people for clearly being different than the others. It happens time and time again. I’ve seen a lot of people go into this field with high hopes of making a positive impact but it’s honestly extremely hard and not as easy as a certain demographic being hired. The entire system needs an overhaul

we ensure many things at work with white people. isn't that how many fonts are making over six figures. i hear horror stories about black women in their professions that suffer depression, anxiety, ptsd, and trauma from the workplace, but we are still going into these fields. even in professions that don't pay a lot we get the same treatment. even customer service work is demeaning and draining and we all do it. i don't really see how this point applies.

A lot want to, but can't because of their criminal history. Police officers are forced into inner city schools, making it easier for kids to be arrested for minor offenses(fighting, drugs, etc.). That's how it starts. Couple that with the horrible reputation they have in those neighborhoods, the stigma behind being an officer, the inability to see officers as upstanding citizens.

A lot factors into it, but it always leads back to one thing.

Becoming an officer as a black person is quite difficult. You have to wrestle with yourself, your moral standards, your self worth. A lot of people see an issue with arresting their own people for nothing, with the stop and frisk laws, with the constant harassment.

i am not the one hates the police.

Black people asking that bad cops be held accountable doesn't mean they are "hated". Personally I don't like to see people being killed time and time again, pulled over and harassed for no reason, etc. There needs to be accountability, that doesn't mean every Black person should join the police force. The ones who choose that profession need to be more responsible.

I'd expect the same in any profession if someone was going around killing and shooting folks, then not being held accountable in court. Imagine if a doctor was killing multiple patients...he or she would need to be held accountable, does that mean everyone needs to become a doctor? No.

but statistically, we make the least and have the least amount of wealth as a collective. making avg 60k a year would bring us to the average salary in the country. also, many of us go for degrees that don't have earnings potential to 60k per yr.

plus, if student loans disproportionately affect black people, you can go into policing with a high school diploma and make 60k with barely any debt. most people making 60k have at least 30k debt.

Maybe because they had other aspirations in life or are happy with the job/career that they have chosen. Or don't really have the mentally or emotional aptitude to be a cop and are self aware enough to know that. Just because I think Kirsten Stewart is an horrible actress doesn't mean I'd be better at it, it just means I wish she would've explored her options.

The question really is why become something only to be horrible at why not just do your job right.

OP you seem to be skipping over the responses that outline why it's a systemic issue built into the entire way policing operates, and that it's beyond individual actions from the inside. Because that's the crux of the answer. Do you have a rebuttal to that?

I think this is one of those things that sound great in theory,. but in reality there are politics within various police forces. Some examples were listed.. here’s a thread about a black police officer who was told to pick a sidehttps://www.lipstickalley.com/threads/black-police-captain-sues-sfpd-told-to-pick-a-side.2443037/#post-47041709..sometimes black officers go in with the mentality to help and do the right thing but when they get there the other officers are not on that type of time- and they will isolate you.

edit :Brooklyn cop claims he was punished for not meeting NYPD quotas, refusing to take responsibility for
This is a good thread too about officer Dickerson. Police forces need an overhaul.

Why don't more black men and women become police officers if you hate "bad" cops?


“Hate bad Cops?” Seriously? It seems clear your intentions ain’t pure, Op. Had to stop and re-read how you titled this thread.

Instead of law enforcement, maybe more Blacks should enter the field of academic research to study and document current and historical events and instances of unbridled racial violence by Whites against Blacks. Or Blacks should pursue the field of scientific research examining Whites propensity for abject violence including genetic and pathological studies to support these theories. Now this work would be far more rewarding and fascinating, not to mention, less dangerous than joining the police force. It would also highlight why Whites tend to gravitate toward this line of work as well.

we ensure many things at work with white people. isn't that how many fonts are making over six figures. i hear horror stories about black women in their professions that suffer depression, anxiety, ptsd, and trauma from the workplace, but we are still going into these fields. even in professions that don't pay a lot we get the same treatment. even customer service work is demeaning and draining and we all do it. i don't really see how this point applies.

I've been saying this for 30 years!

It's a job, along with fire, that affords working class people a path to the middle class, along with the ability to engage and monitor our community on various levels of activity.

By us not taking these slots, especially in majority black cities, others will come in with less understanding and empathy.

Protective and serving is not something I am passionate about. I have enough self awareness to know I would be a crappy officer. And change isn't as simple as joining

idk why a woman would wanna be a cop. it's a depressing job and a depressing environment. Not that women shouldn't be cops, but it's not ideal, imo.

bc OP believes there’s an anti cop agenda while pushing black on black crime, so this is their song and dance

the belief that more black people will stop police brutality is so silly. It’s like an awful disgusting layered cake. I feel for black people(who are actually trying to make a change in the police/military bc it’s hard). The way my family member was mistreated by the others(racism from coworkers) was sick.

anyway, y’all have fun answering OP...I’m sure the only right answer is the answer they’re looking for.

Becuause they don't care. A lot of people just flap thier gums are are loudmouth social medial, fake social justice warriors and just like to blow hot air to seem like they care but most don't really want change. Only get kudos for talking the talk. They don't want to actually put in any physical effort at all.

this is great. i think actually doing someone to be the change is better than just complaining. do you know how much you are going to be paid in your state once you are finished with everything?

Thanks, I feel the same way. I think the rates start at 50,000 and cap at 106,000

It takes about 4-6 months to a year to become a police officer, so if our community is so upset about the current racist policing, why aren't more black men and women jumping to be police officers? We always encourage more black men and women in tech, finance, and computer science, but not policing when we so many people seem to be upset about it?? The average salary is right about 60k as well, so you aren't going to starve.

Especially black women, we are the most educated group in the country and hold degrees, so... you are highly preferred to be a police officer since they prefer college degree holders over a high school diploma. Many people do not like office politics in corporate america either, so having a more active job where you aren't sitting in an office could be a nice change in scenery.

I see so many people talking about how police should have reacted, what should have been done and how police should use a taser instead of a gun, how police should aim for arms and legs, so why not be a cop and do that in your own community? Also, many BW want to learn to use a gun and get a license to carry, so why not do that in policing? You can also be the change you want to see by joining police departments and suggesting different ways to approach situations and influencing the way police train people.

Police officers get paid about $60k a year which is decent if you live with someone who is making about the same as you or more, you will be in a 6 figure household. This can go up to 6 figures with experience.

We also complain about some black men not making enough or not having the motivation to be "successful", so why don't more BM jump into this profession and be the change you want to see? 60-70k a year isn't bad and if you are so passionate about change, join and police your own communities.





I hate bad parents too yet don't have nor want any kids.

Should I become a parent because I hate bad parents?

Lol

Expecting somebody to do the job appropriately that they willingly signed up to do is not too much to ask.

If a nurse was killing her patients by giving them wrong medication , I couldn't criticize because I'm not a nurse?

If a teacher assaulted students, I couldn't criticize because I'm not a teacher?

If the caterer caused everybody at an event to get food poisoning, I can't criticize because I'm not a caterer?

Girl bye


I'm all for people pursuing their dreams but you're not going to silence me about what I feel is wrong because I don't work in the damn profession. And that applies to anything so you can miss me with the
"hOw cOMe YOu DOn'T dO iT thEn?"

because I'm doing something else, that's why. Now you do what you signed up to do correctly or take your ass and go do something else

if there are more black cops, then you cannot be ostracized as easily if that is the case. i don't think a hypothetical situation should stop someone at a career. you can get bullied in tech, nursing, computer science, basically anywhere in corporate america but people still do it and are fine.

edit: spelling
Police officers that are ostracized usually risk getting fired, not being protected, or being set up by retaliating officers. In a dangerous career that hypothetical situation could cost you your life. But that also doesn't give them the right to be going buck wild on people.
I've worked in white schools and seen white kids get a slap on the wrist for something black kids have gone to jail over.
I literally could not emphasize this point enough if I tried! Some people just don't know how bad it is!

i am not the one hates the police.

No one wants to have this conversation. If white cops are racist then why can’t black people become officers.

One way to stop bias is to have people that look like you patrolling the communities.

The police aren’t going anywhere. Who will protect black women and kids.

30,000 black women go missing every year. Black teens are shot daily in a lot of communities. If we don’t want white police to patrol our communities then who do people suggest.

You can’t stop individual people from being racist no matter how many laws are passed or how much money is reallocated. The police will never go anywhere as long as the US stands we will have police officers.
