Aside from the kiddie porn, a 19 year old deputy? WTF America, this kids barely out of kindergarten, why the fuck is he getting such a position of power?

a 19 year old deputy?

Are you under the impression that deputy is a high rank in the sheriffs department? (It's an entry level position) Or are you saying that someone should only become a cop after they have failed at other professions and are looking to start a new career?

Kind of seems like a natural candidate for an associate's degree tbh.

To me, as a non-US person, it sounds like second in command to the sheriff. That said, 18 is still very young for a police officer, in my opinion.

Should entry level police positions require a minimum age of 35 or something? I'm pretty sure whatever country you are from the minimum age for a police officer are similar.

Normally one has to be 21 since that is the legal age to own a handgun, and have 30-60 credit hours at an accredited college/university to even apply.

How a 19 year old was accepted is beyond me.

There's always someone like this.

I knew a guy in fire academy who graduated, got hammered in the district, got pulled over, DUI. Same day.

Told the cop he "knew the fire chief" (read: he was vaguely known by the chief in an administrative way and a handshake at graduation)

Cop said "oh cool me too let's go see him"

Off to the station, it's 1am, chief working night.

Obviously he was toast, never seen again. The gall of some people to think they're "made"

Florida, working hard to be the worst place in North America.

Fuck this guy

"He was telling people, 'I'm going to be law enforcement. I'm very powerful.' He was forcing these girls, they said they were very uncomfortable with the entire circumstance, and it felt like they had no choice, but to do these things, and that is completely unacceptable," Sheriff Flowers said.
