        No I wouldn’t. It would go against my ethics and my politics. Police are police, everywhere. Ultimately they exist to protect the interests of the ruling classes. While the level of violence and corruption and abuse of power might vary from place to place, and there may be good work that they do, there is violence and corruption and abuse of power wherever there are police. I want no part in that, no money is worth it. And I wouldn’t last long in a racist and sexist workplace anyway.

          You could be the change you want to see and earning alot of money, to maybe do more change you care about.

          It’s literally worse for everyone, that you say no to this. Including yourself.

            I mean I’m very flattered that you think that me joining the police would revolutionise it but… No. That’s not how change happens. Otherwise it would have already happened. I’m sorry my decision to turn down a fictional offer of joining the police offends / upsets you.

              Dw, not upset. It’s fictional, and so is the arguments we are making for this. It just doesn’t make sense in this fiction setting, that’s all.

          if you earn lots of money then given that police is state funded thats ~5mln away from the state which is good or bad depending on many things

        Out of all the things on the list, that was the one I understood the most. I’d be willing to risk my body, comfort, or sanity for a few million, but joining the police will cost you your soul.

            To be honest, I sort of forgot it was only for a day, lol.

            On second thought, I might do it, but I would be the worst cop possible and enforce no laws since I could just offer the boss $100,000 or so to not fire me until tomorrow.

            AC do be B though.
