      Next best thing to killing people, and lots less paperwork.

      It’s almost like there’s significant overlap between people who become cops and the psych profile of a serial killer.

        I believe the top three jobs for psychopaths are surgeons, lawyers, and cops. Don’t remember the order but there have been a few lists made.

            Yeah I thought politician was up there too, but I guess most politicians are lawyers first.

              Or at least went to law school. Which is sad. I always wanted to go for a jd to actually defend innocent accused.

          The first two are for psychopaths who are intelligent enough to realise that going along with society will result in the best outcome, enlightened self interest. The ones who become cops and/or murderers are the failures.

      Sort of makes you think that all cops might be bastards, doesn’t it?
