You are the lord of the school. You don't need to buy lunch because someone always buys one for you; classmates give you money anytime you ask; you never need to do any homework because you can forcefully ask a smart classmate to do it for you (too bad you can't do the same during exams). Your classmates rarely report what you do to the teachers and principal. Even when that happens, the principal and teachers would only give you a (light) slap on the wrist. There is only one problem — you are about the graduate and you are too old to freely enroll in another high school and, based on your exam results, no college or university is likely to admit you.
You may be wondering if this is the end of the good times? You may be wondering if you have to work hard like the rest. Don't worry. Join the Police Force and you can act in the same way as before, if not better.
First you only need to train in the academy for a few months before entering service and receiving a large salary while your smarter classmates have to spend years studying and making little. Even if you have to work longer hours, you can claim overtime pay and your supervisors will almost always approve your request. On top of that you can apply for meal allowance and there is practically no limit on how much you can claim. While your classmates work long hours for less so that they can buy a small flat, you can apply for public housing or, better yet, reserved quarters once you spend a few years in the Force. You also have to right to enter private buildings to "investigate" without permission or court order.
Right now you can only show your dominance with your fist, muscle and internet. Only you join the Police Force you will have all sorts of toys will play with — batons, pepper spray, tear gas, sponge grenade and, of course, guns. You may fire rubber bullets or, when you think you are threatened, live rounds. You may also be issued batons while off duty. If you are lucky you may be able to command water cannon, which can fire liquids such as dyed water and liquid laced with liquid. You would also be safe from harm — you would be fully protected with body armour, goggles, head gear and gas masks.
In school you can use any name to refer to others classmates, teachers and principal. Police officers can do the same to anyone. They can call protesters, whether they are violent or not, cockroaches or objects; add the word "black" and "fake" when talking to reports and social workers. Officers can also make insults to anyone else — daring others to a fight, claiming to uncork Champaign after someone dies from falling off a ledge, asking the religious to summon the being they worship to appear in front of them, mocking protesters that they have to eat bread while they enjoy hot pot — without any consequence.
Similarly you can do almost anything physical you want and get away with it — you can nudge someone in the shoulder and knock him through a door, tear off a protester/bystander's goggle or mask before spraying pepper spray, driving a motorcycle/police car through a crowd, taking someone's identification and showing it to a camera in the middle of a live broadcast. Besides that, you can do all that without showing your own identification — in fact, you don't even have to show your badge. You may also pose as protesters and destroy store windows, throw various objects and set fires. If someone talks back or shows disrespect, real or not, you can freely arrest him.
The Force, officially, treats everyone equally. The reality is, just like in school, you can show favouritism. If a shouting match or fight breaks out, you can freely arrest and attack those you think are against you and escort those on your side away, shaking hands with them as they leave. You can even look the other way if your supporters rejoin the fray later.
If you worry that you have to work if you stumble upon a crime scene. Fear not. You have the right to walk away and "call for backup". You can skip walking the beat if you ask. If you feel unsafe at the police station, you can even ask your supervisors to close down the station. In short, you want to skip the "boring" part of police work if you wish and your superiors would not discipline you.
Don't worry if you make a mistake or go to far. If you do you will get a short break with full pay. Besides, the Force has a professional team of public relations experts who can justify your actions and deflect the blame elsewhere. They can always find a explanation for your actions, no matter how serious they are, and they always look sincere and show a straight face when making the statements. Unlike in school, you don't need to worry about being disciplined by someone more powerful than you ‐ the all-powerful union will fully support you no matter what happens. If government officers, especially those who are supposed to be the boss of the Chief of Police, dare to question the Force, the union would flex its muscle and won't stop until the officials back down and give their full support to the Force instead. If someone makes a complaint against you, don't worry. The complaints council consists of supporters of the Force and they would not dare turn their back on the Force.
Sure, there will be some downsides to this work. If you work undercover you may be attacked by another officer or attack another officer by mistake because officers are not required to wear identification. Some stores may refuse to serve you if they know you are an police officer. You may lose friends after hearing that you have joined the Force. Don't worry though. The attack will stop if you say the special code; there are always stores which openly praise police officers and welcome your business; and the police has the full support of all those living in the neighbouring nation.
This is probably the best time to be a police officer, so act now and sign up.
