"I cant wait until I get my badge and become a trooper. Too bad I still need a year and a half worth of work experience."
I fully understand your anger, I have been to Miami many times and know what it's like, plenty of idiots there.I in fact declined attending U of Miami because I did not want to live there.Fun to visit but could not live there.
The problem is your statement about being a Trooper.I am not going after you at all just trying to give you some perspective and advice I suppose.The job of a Law Enforcement Officer is not to use his or her power to settle scores or target things that annoy them personally, but to enforce the laws and protect the public without regard to race, national origin, community status etc. Your statement came across as rather hostile and immature, not someone we want on the street with a gun.Not going to judge though based one one post because I do not know you.Now I am pretty sure everyone has had a situation in traffic and uttered the phrase "Man I would love to a be a cop right now" I have, in fact I did it the other day because this idiot pulling out of a bar at 4 in afternoon nearly hit me and another car.I'll be a lawyer before too long, so ironic I said I wanted to be a cop right then lol.
Long story short, realize not everyone you pull over for speeding or a dumb move in traffic is a idiot who deserves the wrath.I have had a few tickets, mostly just speeding and most cops were cool but had a few *******s for sure, who had the attitude you seemed to display in your post. Should always be careful what you say because it can come back to haunt you when you worked in LE, esp things related to race, because I know some Officers who have landed themselves in hot water due to online postings, in fact the firm I work at is representing a couple of them now, one was terminated from his department.Again, not going to judge because of one statement made in an angry rant but as I said, be careful about what you say.
Having said all that, good luck with your career, I know some Troopers and been on a few ride alongs, it's kind of boring usually as far as LE stuff goes, mostly signal 4's (wrecks) but yet can be fun when stumble across odd things or even get to chase someone.Much different from riding around with city cops or sheriffs deputies for sure, they deal with crap pretty much constantly but I enjoyed the taste of trooper life more.Anyway, good luck.
