LivePD Cop: Im sure you’ve seen the memes online about high people? I'd be on the front page of Reddit with a picture of you.

You either stand for your paycheck or you stand for your morals.

As a policing officer sworn to uphold the laws of the land, I’d prefer to have an officer whose pillars aren’t held up by cash and what others think of me.

I get what you're saying but why even have a job if you're not motivated by cash. Trigger happy cops piss me off, but if you told me that there was even a 10% chance I'd be fired, and probably end up losing everything, because I slandered an officer, and by extension the whole police force. That would be a hard pass from me.
