I can relate to some of them (I'm ex-cop)...some of the younger ones that I have met and talked to, said its tuff to want to be a cop..they are made fun of by some of the neighbors, their friends also........their knowledge of law is quite limited at first, and are really somewhat reluctant to act for fear of making a mistake........and in the last few years crime has taken quite a "turn"
from simple theft, to a "strong arm" theft of some kind....now Shootings, Killing...they have to learn fast.....and all for little pay....much less than I would do it for.........
