Ever notice how crimes committed by retired or former officers make the news?

We seldom hear about a retired house painter committing a crime.

It really is news because unlike the house painter, a retired cop should know how to behave when confronted by a uniformed LEO.

I always find it interesting when a person’s occupation is mentioned in a news story, as though it is relevant.

That’s because house painters can’t afford to retire.

Why don't you do a study on the percentages of retired cops vs retired house painters who have committed a crime?

I look forward to your findings.
