Criminal Justice- Monday- 1st period
Back to the regular routine, all! Right after a time change! And your first class of the day was nonsensical! Good luck.
"Welcome back," Kitty greeted them, lesson notecard in hand. "We're going back to the Real World today… not sure why this guy capitalized that. Apparently back in the 80s there weee tales of a class out of a police academy in a big city. They were in desperate need of new officers, so they lowered the bar so much. Just so much. Some of the most prominent members of the class resulting from this included a con man, a man with the superhuman ability to parrot just about any noise, an unusually tall and strong florist, a small, generally quiet woman with some drastic anger management issues, and a gun enthusiast who was perhaps a bit too enthusiastic. This class of cadets was led by a lieutenant who displayed nothing but open disregard for all of them.
"The important thing is that this group had managed to pool their forces to save their city several times - as well as, for some reason, Moscow once - but it seems to me that there are other ways of bolstering a police force during times of need besides lowering your criteria for officers and hoping for the best. Don't get me wrong, these people sound like a good group, but I suspect that they'd be better suited to non-official law enforcement, like superheroing. They're definitely colorful enough for that!"
Kitty frowned. "I meant it's true, but he didn't have to say it. Anyway, the discussion topic for today is how would you strengthen a police force that is in need of officers to this degree? Or, are you cool with this lowered standard and why?"
