Well, I'll chime in from having to have this situation as well. 1st, true it's a job, & can be rewarding, but there is a flipside to it. Now I applied to be a FireFighter for Fulton Co, passed all the tests, only to have GOD tell me it wasn't for me.

Which really was some asshole telling me he knew I could do it, but he didn't " feel it was what I was supposed to be doing" lol. So I was told since I was in EMT school, to go be a cop. I know some Cops, and they were gonna get me in, in Newnan,APD, & Fayette.

** Let me preface this as to not offend any cops, or people who have family members who are/were cops. Yes not all of them are bad. I'm in noway saying that.**

What I was told, was that if I was a nice guy, don't do it. As a PO you can't be nice, you can't trust anyone, because ANYONE can kill you. When you stop people, and they give you a sad story, you still have to give them tickets,citations ect, regaurdless of how you feel.

Also as an African-American, you will be pressed to be even harder on ethnic groups, so you'll have to ask yourself can you handle that. The rules change when you become a Cop, and serioulsy they don't get paid that much to deal with that type of shyt. lol

You wanna rewarding job, go be a FF, I have a hookup with the LT, & can get you the info needed to do that. Less hassell, less BS, more off days, and more appreciation from normal people, less bullets too.lol ....Vegeta
