At what age should a cop be recruited? 17 years?

Easier to get the rules and regulations to sink in. I don't see why this is a horrible idea. You can join the military at the same age with permission.

Learn your job early, maybe you wont be that big of a problem as a police officer.

This is mental, Queensland police are hunting for recruits from 17 years old.

How can any one consider a young child for a job which requires life experience and emotional intelligence which I would say the child would lack.

Victoria is considering the same approach, as well as considering looking at people who failed psychological and entrance exams.

Though this is what a dictatorial government would want people they can mould to their control.

And the hands of the clock go around and around.

As the war ground on, it became clear that the Hitler Youth’s real goal was to create more soldiers for the Reich. Children who had been saturated in Nazi ideology for years made obedient, fanatical soldiers. Eventually, those soldiers became younger and younger. Starting in 1943, all boys 17 and older were forced to serve in the military. In 1945, the desperate Nazi leadership began pulling younger boys out of school and sending them to the front. These inexperienced children were essentially conscripted for suicide missions—and if they balked, they were executed. Those who survived faced harsh treatment at the hands of the Allies who captured them.

Pretty much.

Young minds are easier to mold. Even better if they are sequestered in a training environment without contact with the outside world.

Like a school?

Wait, seriously? You're joking or is this serious?

If that's actually true then please explain further.

Please search on the Victoria police pandemic response. Also watch YouTube and search fif the shrine protests, as well as the ones at the state library.

The footage speaks volumes.

Though it’s risky especially as I stayed dealing with the public, aligbof younger kids may not have the social aptitudes.

Though if it works who knows.

It’s in the news so it could be correct.
