My take is that as long as they don’t fall into superior ego mode and become jaded, lose their humanity, yes, I trust, for the most part that most cops are decent individuals. However, I have known a few people that have worked in law enforcement and they were some of the biggest, paranoid, defensive, and suspicious personalities.
Always reading potential negativity into even the most benign actions.
A risk that goes with the territory I suppose but not a quality I care to put up with in my personal relationships.
One woman was an ex correctional worker and she always had an evil eye on everyone. Something as simple as somebody walking behind her in a store and her first reaction was ” If they don’t stop following me I am going to have a problem.” WTF!
She was a cousin of a friend and we traveled together a few years ago. By the end of that trip I never wanted to see this woman again. Paranoid, negative, radar always on. She sucked. lol
