Assuming I was still young and fit enough to be a cop I would still not be a good cop. My tolerance for people who NEED a good ass whupping is too low to be a good cop. My hats off to those who can resist serving up a smack in the face when deserved.
Which is why I never considered a job in law enforcement or being a bouncer.  |
It's tough……really tough. I think it's a bad time to enter law enforcement. I remember a time when the California Highway Patrol had to rent out entire convention centers to handle 5000 applicants. Nowadays a department is lucky to get 1/3rd of that number to apply.
