I don’t believe it does either. After going thru the academy, if a police force sets a 21 year requirement, thats fine. I don’t see much difference between 20 and 21 though. The 20 I think happens because some go to a 2 year criminal justice program at a JR. College when they get out of high school.

Perhaps. But, age does have a lot to do with being in control of one’s emotions. I’ve watched my own sons grow up, along with many many of their friends. And I’ve seen first hand how at that age there is a lack of maturity and perspective taking involved. I recall my own self at that age, and this is a common thread among young men. Was this one person mentally ill? Was he just not able to fully control his anger/rage? I do not know. But, it’s a well documented phenomenon that the older men get the less likely they are to engage in this type of violent behavior (given that they do not have any mental illness).

That right that's why we like to keep guns out of the hands of nut cases.
