Me either. My nephew, brother-in-law and 2 uncles as well as at least
2 1st cousins were cops. Not sure if being a cop makes some into total
a-holes or if it's the job that attracts them - but from the ones that
fit that description from my small sampling it's the latter. The ones
that ended up being a-hole cops were generally a-hole kids too. The
ones that were decent kids were also, on the whole, decent cops.

Good question. I suppose there is research on this. There certainly
are psychological tests they make them take before hiring them, though
I'm not sure the small departments can afford the tests, Maybe the
state government pays. And I would think you could trick the tests.
They all get to carry guns, they have protection from false arrest suits
(if they had good faith or reasonable suspicion or some such), and they
often have the thin blue line that makes other cops protect them.

When I was 23 I had a girlfriend with a roommate about 23 or 25 and she
would go to parties and sometimes there were cops there and she told
about one. He had his gun on and it bumped against her hip when they
were dancing. Or for some other reason they talked about it. And she
said he said, "Yeah, when I've got this on I know I'm a man."

She was totally turned off.

If you fired all of the inner city cops with disciplinary actions you
couldn't fill the shifts.
It is not an easy job and your chance of getting beat up or killed on
any given day is pretty good. They have to be tough to survive.

Sounds like my ex-BIL. I think the only reason he became a cop was the
gun. He always had one on him. The good news though, he was only on
patrol for a couple of months and he rolled a car. After that he was on
desk duty. Not the end of the story though, he managed to trip and fall
and did another year of disability. Still carried a gun though, but the
citizens are safer with him off the street.
