Like we're talking stripping him down naked below the waist in a school field, and having 50 kids laugh at him, or another one I remember, picking massive boogers, and shoving his fingers in the kids mouth. One day he just never showed up, and we found out a few days later he hung himself. Another one I knew, did some stuff in High School, that would have landed him a very long prison sentence had he done this stuff to women as an adult just a year or two later.

It has always made me question the validity of their vetting process, as these types of sociopathic tendencies, you'd think would be caught. So either the system is too easy to beat, or they are looking for bullies and rapists. My guess would be the former, and they need to seriously look at their hiring practices, and mental fitness assessments.

The other bizarre thing I always found, were cops kids, were usually the absolute worst of the worst. Dealing drugs, stealing, acting with total impunity. You'd think if your old man was catching bad guys, you'd be the other way around.

Anyway, I'm sure there are a lot of good police officers out there. But I think there are a lot more bad ones than anyone in Law Enforcement is willing to admit. And with these recent claims being made by the women in CPS, it sounds far more widespread than anyone thought.
Yeah, I agree with this. I took Criminal Justice in school and most of the guys that wanted to be Police Officers there were absolute tools. They all thought they were the greatest guys on earth, were really self-righteous, and took themselves way too seriously (that said, there were a few super nice guys as well). It really turned me off of wanting to be a cop. I still might go down that road, I haven't decided yet, but I'm starting to look at other options for myself. The police culture can be ridiculous and I'm not sure I'm a fan of how a lot of those types of people act.
