Cops used to be physically big (it was required), and they carried billy clubs aka ‘big bad asses with clubs’ they never took guff.

My friends and I were hit by cops with billy clubs circa 1967 for apparently making too much noise at a nighttime pool party.

I have a lot of cop stories, my impression is that they are less physically abusive today but police work gets its huge share of sleaze bags, and what the cameras don’t show are deals and moral corruption involving money and power they make during their careers along with the rest of the traditional corruptions of police work.

Not bad looking. How does one act out for that long? Gotta be chemicals in the brain. It can’t be environmental. Even the non-violent ones are too much to put up with.
