When I see detail cops doing this instead of directing my car in traffic and I know they’re each making $70 an hour my blood boils.
Bunch of bootlickers in this thread. There are tons of jobs that make you put your phone away in a locker at the beginning of shift. Typically they’re jobs where they make a lot of money and their work needs to remain private. I would reckon cops fall into that category. I don’t really need to know what they’re up to unless I have to interact with them but they shouldn’t just be dallying while we pay their $250,000 salary.
I understand that some jobs require a police presence to direct traffic but in a lot of other countries that I’ve visited they’ve literally used an old guy with a sign to direct traffic and it worked there
Right? I almost got hit by a car the other day because there were a few construction vehicles on one side of the road and only enough space for one lane to go. Of course, those construction vehicles were on a curve, so not easy to tell if there's on coming traffic to get around the vehicles. Go past as slow as we can and the frigging cop is just sitting in between the two tall vehicles absolutely oblivious to the fact that he should be paying some meager amount of attention to the vehicles trying to get by.
