Quote of the Day

I'm sure there are a lot of "good cops." The people I knew from high school who became local cops were bullies and assholes in high school. Maybe they became good cops, too. None of us were exactly perfect in high school. That they were assholes then doesn't mean they stayed assholes. Still, the high school asshole to cop career trajectory was telling.

To the degree that I recall what lines of work that my high school classmates went into, I concur on this observation.

Not sure how to fix the fact that police work tends to attract bullies, though.
