I initially thought this was going to discuss non-residents being a police officer in a village in which they dont live...

an old article but it appears to summarize the situation well (open in an incognito/private browser to get around the trib's viewing restrictions)

http://www.chicagotribune.com/suburbs/a ... story.html

it never occurred to me that non-us citizens could and potentially are police officers. bizarre concept

Don't you have bad ground and pound spring football to obsess over?

I could cite thousands of examples from small communities to big cities that show that your are incorrect but I will instead give you a fun anecdote:

my brother got pulled over by a bicycle cop downtown this week. He was contesting but the cop wasn't listening. My brother then used the name of a long time family friend who happens to have made lieutenant in the bike cop's district. The cop responded that if he wanted to play that game he was going to call said officer, who was a partner of the bike cop at one time, and if he was lying, he would be cited for more than the original infraction. A quick call was made and the guy apologetically let my brother go.

JORR are you ok with non citizens serving in the military?

I say yes so long as we make sure they have the Bill of Rights fricken drilled into their heads. In fact that's something other cops should refresh upon.

Who here, at least amongst those that are at least arguably compos mentis, would actually disagree with that?

I would imagine that's an opinion that has to be close to, if not be, number one as far as largest percentage of the board as a whole agrees on.

(that said, I'm going to take a gamble and hope pmike is joking)

This is like the most non-argument argument we've ever had. FavreFan even tried and couldn't really even come up with an argument otherwise besides "Police suck already".

I don't really care enough about this to keep going. I just don't really see US citizens as inherently better equipped than non citizens to enforce the law. Ideally, it would be much easier to become a citizen here and the conversation would be moot.

No. I agree with gd, jorr, etc.

There are MANY citizens that should not be allowed to have a job on the police force...

No. If they are not legal citizens they should be ineligible, the same as someone who is under 21, over 35, unable to pass the written or agility tests, guilty of a felony, unable to pass their psychological or polygraph testing or any of the other requirements that pretty much every department has. Ineligible.

But you're looking at it within the context of the existing paradigm. First of all, Chicago has far more officers per capita than most communities. I believe it's about 45 cops per 10,000 residents. I don't think if you broke down Chicago into districts of 10,000 people and their 45 officers had to police the area where those 10,000- and they themselves lived- that there would be a lot of selective enforcement. The cops aren't going to want to live in a crime-infested community. Maybe cops could even be elected to eight years terms, although that obviously adds a political component. Whatever, there has to be a better way than how we're doing it.

There are plenty of instances of problems in policing in small towns due to a lack of enforcement against favored residents.
