NMFJ
Not. My. Fucking. Job.
My shift got a rookie dumped on us. Despite having graduated the academy and FTO, this guy is worthless. I'd rather have actor Michael Chiklis backing me up, at least he can pull off acting like a cop. My boss has asked us to get him up to speed quickly. The problem is, we're not trainers. We don't get the additional 10 grand they do either. As you can imagine, we're a little sour but we're doing it because we need to feel secure that this kid will be able to back us up without getting us killed.
Despite having the short term memory of an Alzheimer's patient, he's cocky. I spit blood constantly from biting my tongue. "Tell me about the fourth amendment," I ask. "Fourth amendment? Hmm. I know that one...That's anything you say can be held against..." he said trailing off. I threw up in my mouth a little bit. Then I got angry. I was angry for us, and I was angry for you. "What the fuck? That's Miranda, not the fourth amendment!"
I took a half hour to tell him everything I knew about searches and seizures. I told him where he could find more information for free. I pleaded that he look into it.
Fast forward an hour. I told my boss and he wasn't pleased. He calls the rookie in off the road and asks him "What's the fourth amendment?" "Oh man, we just went over this," he says. He's dumbfounded.
We've agreed(without command's knowledge) to insulate ourselves from this guy. If I am assigned a call and he's given the backup assignment, one of the other guys will jump on the radio and waive him off. It's meant that we have to stop what we're doing sometimes, but to us it's worth the extra work. When we back him up, we just make sure he doesn't get beat up or killed. We're tired of doing the work of two cops for less than the salary of one.

That really sucks big time, but more than ever, it's a scary thought that one day you might have to depend on this guy to save your life.
Please be safe out there.

It makes me wonder what this apprently "empty uniform" was thinking when he "wanted" to PROTECT AND SERVE, anyway?
It's not about the MONEY...you have to have a DESIRE...a passion to do the job, and anything else is icing on that cake.
You stay safe out there.
I'm under the firm belief that he's using the badge to try to get his dick wet, Bob.
Hopefully, it'll only be a matter of time before it bites him in the ass and ends his career.
That you continue to stick with that department, despite the BS continuously heaped on you, never ceases to amaze me. Someday your reward will be great! Hang in there and stay safe.
I'll be he's got at least a four year degree, paid for by Mommy and Daddy, and in fact still lives with them. I would also bet he comes from an upper middle class background and his only life experience prior to becoming a cop was something like "dorm monitor" while in college.
Sheesh! Whatever happened to hiring people with common sense and some experience on the streets as a kid? Oh yeah, the police accreditation scam is quickly putting a stop to that.
