And if you and others feel that way, then call the hairstylist to come over when someone is breaking into your house, when someone is trying to hurt you or your family, when someone does something to your wife or kids. Or hell, call the the hairstylist when you or your family is in danger and need help. I'm sure they'll drop their scissors and come over.

I know a lot of officers. And 99% of them are wonderful and caring people who go out and put their ass on the line daily. They get **** on because of the deeds and actions of a small percentage of officers that made terrible mistakes or are just plain pieces of ****. That small percentage and the media and politicians have demonized police officers all over this country. It's awful.

Holding a large group of people responsible for the actions of a small percentage is just not right.

On average it takes 840 training hours to become a police officer. To become a barber: 1500 hours.

Many trades require hundreds of hours more in training than police. In Louisiana entry-level police require 360 hours in training. To be a licensed manicurist, you'll need 500 hours.
