OK... this is about teh PoPo...

You were an Eleven-Bravo.....right?
Or....at least closer to the sharp end than sissified twidgets like me.
Some people shoulder a rifle and get mud on their boots cause they like it.
Some people like it for the wrong reasons.

There are bent s**tcans everywhere you look for them.
Sometimes?
They fix dial tones for a living like I do.
Other times?
They wear a badge and carry a weapon.

When I left the tennis shoe Navy and became a reservist, I quickly discovered that there are no submarines in the Navy Reserves. Sissified twidgets like me have to do one of two things:
1. Serve in a coffee and doughnuts unit.
2. Trade sneakers and poopie suits in for combat boots and 782 gear.
Easy choice, really.
As with the Prius community, I was shoved into an environment that I didn't plan on entering, populated with folks that I normally did not rub elbows with.
A lot of them were and are LEO's.....or Law Enforcement Officers.
OK.
So....share a GP medium (tent) with six or seven cops.....for six or seven months, and you begin to learn a few things about life on the other side of the badge.
Here are a few of the things that I observed:

1. They're not paid enough.
2. They're not respected nearly enough.
3. Nobody hates bent cops more than other cops.
4. LEOs HATE doing traffic!!!
5. The only thing worse than cops writing tickets...would be no cops writing tickets.
6. If you ever have to stand a loooong boring midwatch? Do it with a LEO. They always have the best stories!!!!

Yeah.....there are bent cops out there.
Personally? I think that the actual number is pretty low. However (comma!) there are a helluva lot of cameras out there as well. It's getting harder and harder for them to pull their twenty and punch out with a retirement....pun completely unintended.
One other thing that I learned is that there are a lot more bent s**tcans in front of the badges and weapons than there are behind them.
Just sayin.
