Ha! Coincidentally, last week a guy I went to high school with popped in my head. Sort of similar circles due to common friends, but generally a fucknut who'd have to bribe someone to get into barber college. Sure enough, he's a goddamned cop and small town hockey coach. I am so repulsed by my hometown and the people I grew up with.
Yeah the wife and I have been talking about this lately. Its the one job where the least motivated and perhaps less intelligent people, people often with shitty attitudes gravitate to because it is generally a good paying job for life with good benefits. A college education of some sort should be required for something where you have life/death decisions you can make.

Maybe twenty years or so ago, Michael Moore had a short-lived tv show, and in one episode he looked at the qualifications to become a cop. There was a standardized exam and if you fell out of a specific range, higher or lower, they wouldn't accept you. As he said, yeah, it's possible to be too smart to be a cop. I can't help but think both the ceiling and floor are really low, to make sure all the aspiring brownshirts qualify but nobody with any critical aptitude.

Was just hearing a story on NPR on how police are declining covid shots in large numbers around the country.
