And then. . . this happened.
This comic is a sequel! The first comic, 'Cruelty', can be read here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/3704554/
Posting this disclaimer on every page, so no one can say they didn't see it. No need to read it if you already have, it's just for newcomers:
- This comic will contain adult content, swearing, violence, death, and some very difficult political and social subject matter. If you're the sort of sensitive person who can't handle that, this comic is not for you.
- Not ALL of the content in this comic will be posted online. I'll be withholding one of the adult scenes from the online release, reserved for the eventual print release. HOWEVER. Just like 'Cruelty', this comic WILL have one full adult scene posted online. Any complaints about the withheld content will be ignored, and likely scorned by the folks who DO enjoy what's posted online. So don't be an ass.
- This comic is GAY. GAY GAY GAY GAY GAY! I cannot express this ENOUGH, seeing as there was some confusion with 'Cruelty'. This comic follows the storyline of 'Cruelty' regardless of which 'path' you took, but it is assumed the characters eventually began a relationship. The comic deals with gay issues, as well as a gay relationship. Deal with it, or GTFO.

Detention officer, not jail officer. It's a comic so I would say in the realm of fantasy it would be a very nice move for him. In my department someone with anything on their record gets an instant rejection. Someone like Reis would be a horrible choice in terms of anger management on the job, whether it be a PO for the board, a patrol officer, detention officer, or even communications officer which is not all that harsh but has its moments. Out of all of the above I would say DO "jail" officer is the worst thing he could possibly be...escorting child molesters and murderers to court every morning and dealing with 8-16 hours of constant lewd comments and being cramped in tight hallways and nasty smelling air from the entrance to the top floor while they chunk feces and urine cups through pan holes at you...Reis would shit rage upon inmates and get some nice felonies for it .
And what happens when his confidence is based totally on having authority over people? He already beat the crap out of any unresisting best friend over an unintended slight. You think he's gonna control himself when he decides some complete stranger isn't respecting his authoritah enough? Or allow someone to go about their business if it's something he doesn't like even if it's legal?
actually, he hit Lou. . . once. . . and I know a lot of guys who get into fights with one another, for much lamer reasons, and don't have near as good an excuse.
But whatevs, I'm not gonna argue it with you. Reis has got his flaws for sure. But so does everyone. Including a LOT of cops.

The war on drugs hasn't stopped any of that. Self destructive people are going to destroy themselves no matter what you do to try and stop them. All that prohibition has done is turned our cities into warzones, corrupted our law enforcement and legal systems, and destroyed millions of more lives.
Exactly, legalise, regulate & tax (could make nice amout of revenue for government). But legalising & regulating will be/is the only way foward. And the only way this stupid, pointless "War on Drugs" will end.
The simple fact is that people like using recreantional drugs (they have since humans first walked the Earth, its not a recent thing^^), and trying to prevent that is stupid, because when people are dertimined to score some drugs they will reguardless of whether its illegal. And as always there's a great demand, somebodies going to step in and fill that void to supply the drugs (and make LOTS of $$$ in the process). I mean you'd think the policy makers would've learned from history, specificly 1920's US prohibition when they tried a similiar thing with regards to acholol. Sure it was illegal but it didn't stop people drinking and the violent crime went up as organised crime/Mafia stepped in to fill the void of supply. You just can't enforce an unenforcable law, I mean acholol has been a part of human culture since the beginning and people think/say "i've been a responsible drinker throughout my life, i don't see why the government should stop me from enjoying myself".
And today its the same with drugs (well to an extent although the problem is more a bit more complex in sense that why do some people feel the need to destroy themslves by taking hard drugs?. I think its partly do with the fact that many can't cope with the stresses & hardships that life throws at them, plus i think government play a large part in that. The politicians so often through there policies do so much damage to the already venurable people of society that some are drawn to drugs as a mean of temporary escape from the hell that is their lives and the shithole that is society. Thats also one of the reasonds why i think the politico's are in no rush to end the War because then they'd have to face-up the fact that they're partly responsible... face-up to the fact that they're a bunch of self-serving, vile scumbags, and not the saintly stateman, man of people they all like to think of themselves as.
But history is repeating itself we've been here before and the policy makers know this, but i think there are powerful vested interests at work stopping the right steps being taken, powerful forces like the arms manefacters who lobby government (and bribe people in high places) to leave the situation as is cuz they make alot of money selling arms to the Mexican Cartels (most of the weapons involved come from the US). Its a viscious cyle that neeeds to broken if were to move on. But sadly i can't see it being thus anytime soon, as too many people have a lot of money invested & a lot of money to be made.. Its a shame really as the majority of the world is anti-war, yet that majority are perverted by an evil cabal of violent profiteers that deal out death, destruction and repression to unlucky billions.

i kinda agree as most the non lethal illegal drugs like pot so on should be off the ban list legalize any thos enon lethal ones and black market forhtem goes belly up as they be easy to get. thus they move to harder more deadly probly kill them selves off OR easyer to track. blame dnd and playing rouge charactor or rougish charactor LOL
I don't think his PO is talking about Reis becoming a police officer. To start with, he's under 21 and no police department anywhere will even consider applicants below that age. Likewise, no police department anywhere will consider applicants that have been arrested for unlawful possession within the last ten years, with many refusing to accept applicants that have ever had a drug charge in their lives. He only has a GED, and though college is not a requirement for police service, most departments do require applicants to attend a lengthy training program and/or have served in the military for at least two years, neither of which can be accomplished during his brief visit home for his mom's funeral.
Basically, it has to be something else.

I actually have police officers in my family, and I can tell you, you're a tad off on. . . most of those things. Hiring procedures differ precinct to precinct, by quite a lot, and your juvenile record cannot factor into being hired for a government position, especially if your charges were dropped to an infraction. Having a college degree or military service are a plus, but never required. Also, Reis IS 21 at this point.
In short, don't worry. Regardless of where this ends up going for Reis, (and I ain't sayin' where :P) I fact-checked with a Corrections Officer and a village Police Officer. In fact, the CO in my family had multiple charges on his own record that didn't prevent him from getting his job at a young age, making a career out of it, and retiring just last year after 30+ years of service. He's a pretty reliable guy ;)

The problem with it is that portraying a 19-year-old drinking beer shouldn't have to be automatically portrayed as morally wrong, because it's realistic. I used to get drunk all the time when I was 19, and so did most of our parents because the drinking age in most places was 18 until the federal government passed a law in 1980 that would deny certain types of funding to states that didn't enforce a 21+ drinking age.
The US has the highest drinking age of any country in the world, actually. I don't count the Islamic countries that have made alcohol illegal altogether because, by virtue of making drinking illegal, they have no drinking age.

I was 22 when I became a cop. And that was after I went to collage for a couple of years and got a degree in criminal justice for some stupid reason. It's a worthless paper! Anyway I do remember some young ones back then but at the time you had to be 21 due to carry laws. So the younger guys were stuck working the radio to they hit 21. Now though I have not a clue as that was well over ten years ago.

Do note that that was then, this is now.
I know a fire captain that's close to retirement that said he never would have gotten a job in this day and age. Even having a couple of traffic violations will prevent you from getting a job.
Also, the vast majority of police departments require college degrees now (except for maybe tiny, small towns).
Of course, this is a story about animal people in a world where shoes don't exist; so these things could probably different as well.

Not to beat a dead horse in this thread, but your statement of "the vast majority of police departments require college degrees now (except for maybe tiny, small towns)" really doesn't hold water. There are almost 600,000 law enforcement agencies in the US. I'd almost bet that you're more likely to be asked for a college degree in smaller jurisdictions than the larger ones simply due to numbers. Below are just a couple places that a GED will get you in the door at, and they're not 'small towns'
Los Angeles: http://www.joinlapd.com/qualifications.html
Graduation from a U.S. high school, G.E.D. or equivalent from a U.S. institution, or a California High School Proficiency Examination (CHSPE) certificate is required.
http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/.....lice-officers/ :
The Baltimore City Police Department requires applicants to have at least a high school diploma or GED.

High School Diploma or GED
I'm sure I could spend another minute on Google and find a list somewhere.

Wouldn't it be a twist if Reis showed up to his interview with the following conversation:
Police Chief or Security Chief: "So Reis, despite your emotional, shall we say, 'incidents', and that you never graduated high-school, I've heard lots of good things about you: You have a productive resume, although I see there was some minor conflict at your last job, and you seem to possess a high amount of intelligence, along with your built, I can see you being employed today; we can use someone who's more experienced with keeping their jets cooled." He pulled out the badge and clearance card, then set them in-front of him. "One question though, how exactly did you sign up for the position? Did one of your friends suggest it?"
Reis: "What? Officer Richards was the one who called you for the position; he's the whole reason I'm here now."
PC: "I'm sorry son, I don't believe I know an Officer Richards. Refresh my memory of what he looks like, I might have blanked it out."
Reis: "He's a sabertooth for one--"
PC: "Come again?"
Reis: "What?"
PC: "Son, Sabtertooth--or Sabterteeth, if you want to get past the semantics--have been extinct for thousands of years."
Reis: "But.... he was my paroll officer..." Reis looks around completely without color on his cheeks; a surge of thoughts of questions could be seen churning in his eyes, but he remained silent.
PC: The PC looked him over, hesitating at first, then removed the objects off the table and spoke with general concern. "Son, I think you need to get some rest or get some help."

Then he comes across a random, deranged hobo who's a little tipsy:
"Hey laddie, THERE BE DRAGONS runnin' ab'ut; don't ya' know you landlubber?"
Suddenly Reis is transported to the ship battle in Red Lantern in the body of Luther, who turns out to be his great, great, great, great grandfather!
There, it all makes sense now; it's full circle!

Hmmm, Police Officer seems like the obvious direction for this to be going...but for some reason I keep thinking "drug counselor". Lifetime of experience with his mother, even going through his own stint before ultimately turning clean...
But tis' conjecture. We'll just have to wait for the next page (or some page after that if Rukis decides now is a good time for a scene change).

This is a really good turn of events for Reis and will likely let him be more comfortable in his relationship with Marcus. Reis's big problem was he didn't contribute in any sort of meaningful way at all in their relationship. (Marcus is the one getting a law degree, it's Marcus's apartment, it's Marcus's money.)
So yeah whatever mister Sabretooth cat is offering will make Reis happier...Of course the problem is Marcus might not like it.
If it's Law Enforcement he's likely going to worry about Reis getting hurt....Or how Reis suddenly having full time job will affect their relationship.
And so far me and a lot of other people are seeing the writing on the wall how sooner or later Marcus and Equal Rights group are going to clash...Probably violently with the Local Church in their area.
When that happens.....Real bad shit. :(

I think Reis would make a great cop, or correctional/confinement officer, or whatever he's got planned for him. He doesn't seem the type to power trip, or the type who just wants the authority for being picked on by others. He seems to have a good sense of justice - which *could* get him into trouble, but, I think he can learn to temper his emotions when things aren't "right" - which happens a lot in any kind of LEO-related career.
The thing I see lacking in a lot of cops is empathy. And it is easy to get jaded...Reis is stubborn enough though that I think he could hold onto it.

Undercover drug agent.
Marcus will think he started taking/dealing drugs again, he will try to find out the truth.
Nothing good will come from it and someone will die.
If I could bend reality at my will, Reis would become a police officer and they'd have a happy end.
But we all know that won't happen.
It won't end with 2 guys cuddling in bed.
It will end with one guy standing on a cementary.
