#DOWEHAVEAPROBLEM!?
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.
