“He was telling people, ‘I’m going to be law enforcement. I’m very powerful.’ He was forcing these girls, they said they were very uncomfortable with the entire circumstance, and it felt like they had no choice, but to do these things, and that is completely unacceptable,” Sheriff Flowers said.
Aside from the kiddie porn, a 19 year old deputy? WTF America, this kids barely out of kindergarten, why the fuck is he getting such a position of power?
Are you under the impression that deputy is a high rank in the sheriffs department? (It’s an entry level position) Or are you saying that someone should only become a cop after they have failed at other professions and are looking to start a new career?
Would you like to be operated on by a 19-year old doctor?
No?
Why not?
Because it takes years to learn the relevant skills and responsibilities?
Yeah. In my country even thr the lowest level police officer goes through what is equivalent to a university degree. (Third level education.)
And despite that, there’s still problems. Not the same problems, but still.
In America the “training” to become a police officer is often less than the basic training that we give for conscripts in the army on the use of force and responsibilities of wielding authority.
Should entry level police positions require a minimum age of 35 or something? I’m pretty sure whatever country you are from the minimum age for a police officer are similar.
There are a lot of shitty comments here, but personally, I’m glad to see that they actually arrested him, and that he will face justice for his actions. A background check isn’t going to expose the things you do in secret that you haven’t been caught for yet. This is a rare news report where a cop was arrested for breaking the law instead of being protected behind some thin blue line crap.
