Actually, I narrowed it to two. My friend who had been in the business added the third. And I was using broad groupings and ignoring the standard stuff such as needing a paycheck, their dad was a cop, it was the only job to be had, like riding a cool motorcycle, using it as a stepping stone to some other job. I was getting quickly to the crux of my lack of respect for people who aspire to be police officers in the current politiical/cultural environment and keeping it at the two relevant (to the point I was trying to make) categories.

There are only two kinds of people in the world.

1) People who put people into groups
2) People who do not group people

Which group are you in?

I guess my daughter, who is heading to college to study criminal justice with the idea of being a crime scene investigator, thought that your three choices were making a point by ignoring things that didn't support your point.

It appears she was correct. Maybe she'll make a good investigator.
