The sad part about the whole ordeal is when you become an officer of the law you are basically on your own till the day you quit, retire or are killed while on duty. Oh sure, there are departments for this and that to help these guys but too often no one goes in for help because it shows a sign of weakness. I have often wondered why police officers who minds most of the time snap so prematurely in their careers don't often have mandatory psychological testing every so many years. These guys have the highest divorce rate. The highest suicide rate. The highest rate for abuse of drugs and alchohol due to stress related causes. Yet they are supposed to be "above the law". It is not a for certain but I believe if there were some sort of mental clarity testing every so many years we would e able to catch many of these guys before their minds snap and do things like this.

just cause dude has a badge i wouldnt trust him..in fact from personal experience i trust them less
i trust almost no one with my kids/family...cant trust priests, rabbis etc etc..what makes cops different...they are just people with guns
bump that. Though there are guys who want to make a difference and have pure intentions, you have to know that most of them already have a superiority complex and need the power and respect that automatically comes with receiving a gun and badge. You see it in their attitude every day. Sorry, I don't think you're a "hero" because you put on a police or military uniform. I think you're guilty of mental illness until proven otherwise. Just like politicians. Hell just watch the show "DEA". They're like adrenaline junkies looking for the next rush running around playing super agent, but they claim they're doing God's work and justify any action with a badge. They come busting in your house, throwing you around and because you ask "why?" you're resisting arrest. Even so, a big THANK YOU to all the REAL men, the real cops out there helping people and not just playing cowboy.
