Well… I survived a week at the Police Academy. I was top of my class in physical, top 3 in academic, and top 2 in marksman, however, a majority of those in my class, and my instructors, were the last kind of people you’d hope to be police, yet the exact ones you would expect.
I was basically assumed to be ‘one of them’ and they’d make the most intolerant, ignorant, racist, sexist, or homophobic jokes possible. I’d never laugh. I learned that it’s ‘shoot to kill’ in just about any semi-violent situation, which I think is bullshit. It’s not at all what I expected. I don’t want to be part of an institution that pushes all this shit instead of actually making things better. Maybe it’s because of the dinosaurs still teaching at the academy, or maybe it’s simply because we’re in Ohio.
I’m back. Luckily, they had yet to find my replacement as the football coach at McKinley, so, Coach Clarington is back as well. I’m not going back to the RROTC though.
Did I miss anything exciting while I was gone?
