    In many countries you need to be college educated to be a police officer. In America it’s just a GED. Good Enough Diiploma.

      In the context of being a cop, yeah a GED isn’t good enough, but let’s not knock the GED.

        College and university is a bit of a scam anyway.

        The real fix is:

        1. Make policing a conscription based role
        2. A well funded executive investigation unit that oversee police behaviour.
