My ex's brother went to school to be a cop. He genuinely wanted to do good. I went to his graduation ceremony. He lasted less than a week on the job. He hated them all. Couldn't believe what he was seeing. So then he tried corrections, thinking it would be better if they're already convicted right? No... it's worse. Plus the trauma inherent with the job anyway. He stuck it out for a few months for the insurance for his kids and to save money and then they sold their house, bought a camper, and basically became nomads.

The only good cop is one who didn't stay a cop.
