[Gargantua]

There are people who are constituted in such a way that they would make excellent policemen. The problem is that many of them are not drawn to the job. Then there are those who should never be policemen--kids who were picked on in school and want a chance to "get even", sadists, trigger-happy cowboy mentality losers who were refused military service for any number of good reasons. When they make the force, it's trouble (if not tragedy) waiting to happen, and it happens alot.

Such is life. A cop gets out of line with me, he'll get a real quick adjustment. I have family members who are (excellent) policemen. I have acquaintences (not really friends, but kids I grew up with) who are cops, but who never should be. I've heard some of them in the local pub bragging about committing felonies in court to convict some innocent person of a misdemeanor.

Once in a while, the Chief gets an anonymous CD with film/tape of the loudmouth imbecile(s) in flagrante delicto.

Such is life.

“kids who were picked on in school and want a chance to “get even””

More likely the bullies who picked on them. Bullies never grow up. Nerds sometimes do.

I’d send it to the local newspaper instead

Sounds like politics. The ones you'd want in there, would never run.
