    Fair enough, but that argument also works against you:

    Why become a cop? He has other interests than being a cop.

    is equal to

    Why not become a cop? He’s interested in being a cop.

    Surely you know cops don’t eat sleep and breathe law enforcement too, right? As in they have other hobbies and interests? That goes for every job; a tailor has hobbies other than tailoring, and a taxi driver has other interests than driving.

      What? Those aren’t equivalent at all. My whole point is that it’s bad writing and out of character for Harry to be interested in becoming a cop. Him becoming a cop is in no way equivalent to him pursuing literally anything else that would be more in-character.

      Your second point has nothing to do with anything, and I don’t know why you included it.

        I think you just don’t understand that cops come from the same schools, communities, homes, families, etc. as anyone else, including you; in other words, you have a significant mental rift that makes it impossible for you to walk the bridge of logic I built for you.

        I don’t know if I can build a bridge big enough for you to cross. I guess just stare at my previous comment for a while until it clicks.

        TL;DR: If you think, and even shout from the rooftops, that the only people suitable for law enforcement are pieces of shit, guess who is going to become law enforcement? Oh my, we seem to have a Too Many Pieces of Shit in Law Enforcement problem! Wonder how that happened…

          Hey you fucking acorn, wanna take a break from insulting me and putting words in my mouth to point out where I said that the only people suitable for law enforcement are pieces of shit?

          My point, for the third (3rd) time, is that having Harry be interested in being a cop is out of character and poor writing because of Harry’s traits and background
