If you’re like me and you’ve seen the news lately highlighting all the senseless shootings of black men by white cops, or if you’ve ever watched a documentary about any anti-establishment movement (whether about the civil rights protests in the ’60s or the protest in Seattle against the World Bank in the ’90s), then you’ve surely asked the question, “Dafuq is the deal with the po-leece? Does that profession just attract petty men who were bullied in junior high and who need a target for their juvenile aggression?”
If that’s you, then you need to listen to the latest episode of Drunk Ex-Pastors. Just saying. . . .
I think it may attract those people (although probably more the bullies than the bullied) more than other jobs (i.e. accounting), but I don’t think the majority of police officers fit that profile. The police may have a higher percentage of people that abuse their power, but I still think it’s a minority of officers. (By a large margin.)
