    PHQ question that is bothering me

    During the course of yoru duties, if you were required to lawfully take a human life, would you have any reluctance to do so?


    it has a blank space for a yes or no

    is this a trick question, where answering no would immediately disqualify me, because I absolutely would have some reluctances, not enough to prevent me from firing if it were completely necessary and justified, but to say that I would have no reservations at all seems ridiculous

    Put it into prespective. What do you think they want to know? During the course of your duties... If you can't answer that or don't have the ability to figure out what it means then I don't want you as my beat partner. You will get me killed.

    thanks for the response, I guess I was just thinking too much into the question

    I'm with Hit n Run. If you can't figure that out, throw it away and go try something else.
