It was only really the Irish job when the Irish flooded New York and needed jobs.

Irish people flooded into New York, Philadelphia and Boston in the 1800s and after a while departments figured that the guys who were brought up hard and loved a good scuffle could be preventing trouble instead of starting it.
Lots of Irish guys being cops is probably one of the main ways they were able to assimilate and not be seen as "White niggers" anymore.

Fuck the police. I'm tired of be harased for drinkin a few beers and drivin home

Same exact thing for Italians really.

The Irish were the original american mafia before the Italians and Jews arrived at the turn of the 20th century, the Irish were BTFO by the Italians and Jews and had to resort to becoming cops
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_Mob

>Irish-American street gangs such as the Dead Rabbits, led by future Congressman John Morrissey, and Whyos dominated New York's underworld for well over a century before facing competition from other, primarily recently arrived Italian and Jewish gangs, during the 1880s and 1890s. Although gang leaders such as Paul Kelly of the Five Points Gang would rise to prominence during the early 1900s, gangs such as the Hudson Dusters and the Gopher Gang would remain formidable rivals during the period.

>In the early 1900s, with Italian criminal organisations, such as the Morello crime family, encroaching on the waterfront, various Irish gangs united to form the White Hand Gang. Although initially successful in keeping their Black Hand Italian rivals at bay, a ruse of unstable leadership and infighting would be their apparent downfall.

I hope you get your licence back, get caught drunk driving again, and get Rodney King'd by the cops that arrest you.

>>32550123
A.... a Hebrechaun? So you get to eat delicious kosher deli food *and* slam lots of Guinness?

>>32550060
Hilariously enough, Whitey happened because he was helping the cops get rid of the Italian mob in Massachusetts, and then moved to fill the power vacuum they left behind.

>>32550159
Not him, but we're surprisingly common in the northeast.

Also the correct term is "greenbagels."

Class A CDL here, I have a coworker that has had 2 DUIs since getting his CDL. Its all about money, and he makes about 120k.

One of my dad's friends had something like 7 DUIs/DWI's from the 1970s to the 1990s. On the last one the judge told him if he sees him again he will do real prison time, no more baby jail bids.

If its over 26,000 lbs and has air brakes you do. Well, if you get pulled over that is.

>>32550363
I'm not starting on a big wrecker. You start on a Ford f350 or lowboy.

>>32550204
Yep. Black Mass did a great job of portraying that.

>>32549923
Good ol' Irish like a fight and a drink. They don't like to fuck around playing dipsy daisy love your enemy. It's a weakness more than a strength in a heavily regulated world

>>32554398
