[QUOTE="Black Gold 380R, post: 16552591, member: 70025"] I think things happen for a reason. I got out of the Army in 1989 and I applied to the local police force. I didn't pass the entry exam. So, I went back into the Army and retired after 22 years of service. I now work for a federal law enforcement agency (support role). I have talked to a few folks who work for this agency now, but were previously police officers and I have heard plenty of stories. I have also had interactions with LEOs in the community. We won't get into details LOL. However, I know now that I do not have the temperament to be a police officer. WAY too many idiots out there that need to be bounced off the hood of a patrol car or knocked upside the head with a heavy duty flash light. Then again there are people who make mistakes and do not deserve to be dealt with in a physically abusive way. However, as a police officer, how do you determine which one deserves a little extra wall to wall counseling or is just having a bad day and may need a little leniency? I couldn't do it. I've seen all the videos. People blatantly disrespecting cops. Cursing at them and practically spitting on them and the cop maintained his bearing and professionalism through out the whole ordeal. Then there are the cops who abuse their authority and are A holes, just because they can be. I try to "AVOID" cops at all costs. I believe in the law and support law enforcement, but, these days, you never know how it's going to go during an encounter. Yes, for the most part if you are respectful to cops 9 times out of 10 everything is fine. But, as mentioned earlier I have personal experience with cops and in some cases cops have a preconceived notion about what is going on before they even arrive on scene. And when they arrive, and are trying to figure out what is really going on, they are NO fun to deal with. All I know is I respect cops and believe it is one of the hardest jobs out there and there is no way I could ever be one. Thank GOD I failed that entry exam in 1989 LOL. [/QUOTE]
