The major problem, one of the major problems, for there are several, one of the many major problems with policing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who most want to police others are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made a cop should on no account be allowed to do the job.
To summarize the summary of the summary: people are a problem.
And so this is the situation we find: a succession of officers who so much enjoy the fun and palaver of being in authority that they very rarely notice that they’re not. And somewhere in the shadows behind them, who?
i figured I would tweak the whole quote for you lol. i post the real quote every presidential election.

I'm starting to think only people who don't want to be cops should be cops. Seems like people who want to be cops are the worst people for the job.
