Good men and women become stone cold monsters.

That's the real tragedy when it comes to law enforcement.

These people start their job with a moral compass that they must then ignore or forget about completely in order to "support their brothers and sisters in blue".

Any semblance of procedure or legal proceedings are snuffed out by the social norms of the day to day operations. They have to deal with REAL RAPISTS, MURDERERS AND PEDOPHILES.

I DO NOT want their job. I don't want to work in their world. Their job is so stressful and disorganized that there is no way I could do that and remain a morally sound human being.

Good men and women become stone Cold monsters.

The saddest part. Moraless and malevolent behavior is so normal that it becomes common place to maim, torture, paralyze or murder someone over a stolen pack of cigarettes. Anything outside of this is strange and foreign. Like not paralyzing someone and instead giving them medical care.

I personally know 7 people that joined the police force. Each one of them was a monster before they ever filled out the first application.

When friends of your friends who just got hired as officers come to your table for supper one night and immediately begin talking about the thrill of shooting people to the other newly hired cop friends at that same table, you know they were monsters to begin with.

I pose this to you, how are they good in the first place if they see what they see and they don’t leave?

I'm sure that does happen, but I think it's much more common for monsters to become police than for police to become monsters. People have to want the job to begin with, and the type of people who want to be cops are likely not the best people.
