Paid leave and promotion.

The promotion only happens if they are sent to a small town for 2 years. It's their goal, but they don't always break the law enough to earn it.

To be fair it’s taking them away from the things they love, like beating citizens for minor inconveniences and killings pets for no reason.

Can't forget beating the shit out of their spouses

They do that if they’re suspended or not, so I didn’t think it was relevant.

What do you mean? They’re on paid leave, they still get to maintain the same lifestyle financially while freeing up all that time they would have spent working for more time beating their spouse!!

Wait, so I can get paid time off AND more time to beat my spouse? And all I need to do is 20 weeks of training?

How many cops does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: Two, but nothing gets changed, and they just beat the room for being dark.

Three.

One to drag a random civilian off of the street and order them to change the bulb, a second one to execute them after they're done, and a third to record it while laughing.

"I can't believe you did that. To teach you a lesson we are sending you on paid vacation for a month."

It sounds so ridiculous when you call it what it is, but people don't seem to bat an eye.

Man I really hope I end up in a career where the punishment for bad work is free money

u/he-loves-me-not 1d ago

Well, it’s not too late to become a LEO!

Vacation from exerting their authority on their victims is their punishment.

Being fired and immediately picked up by another department is punishment.
