what im trying to say is that in the vast majority of careers, if you are a fuckup, you get weeded out and either quit or get fired. people dont want to work with fuckups. in my job, we definitely dont want them. they can cause a whole heap of problems. i dont want to be working next to someone who sucks at what they are doing. however it seems that with police, when someone fucks up, all the other cops are right there supporting them. why is this? why do they support the fucksups? why do departments want to keep these people on the force? are there not enough people waiting to replace them? is it because of the union? just cop culture? whats the deal?
