I was a small town cop for 1 year before I joined the military.Did that for 4 yrs and have been in college for 3 semesters now......I am bored...I need some thrill back in my life. I do have a small limp due to a road side bomb and schrapnel still in my groin.....what do you folks think. I should have learned my lesson and stay away from violence, or get back on the saddle and beat up some local scum?

Only you can decide that, and after some SERIOUS soul-searching.
My son-in-law used to be a small town cop in the N/W suburbs of Chicago. After discussing several scenarios I told him that I was glad he never had to stop me for something. When he asked why, I told him that by the time all was said and done one of us probably would have shot the other. He was a classic example of a young eager-beaver given a badge and gun, and ready to clean up Tombstone. I asked him if he was ready to give a ticket to the Police Chief, or even better the Chief's wife. He said no, because it would just get tossed out. Then I said "that's why you wouldn't want to stop me - The Chief or his wife is no better than me". He would have been hard-headed enough to get rough, then all Hell would break loose. And I am nowhere near as violent as so many citizens.

I have settled down quite a bit since my first run as an officer, but your son-in-law is right about writting tickets to certain folks, you can't take the POLItics out of POLIce! I have a friend who wrote the president of the Universities wife a speeding ticket and was suspened for a very minor violation that would normally has been overlooked.

Years ago, my ex-father in law worked for the Cook County Sheriff's Office, first as a bailiff and moved up to supervisor. He got his first job as a result of knocking on doors and working for the Democratic Committeeman. The more I heard about what went on in the Sheriff and Police Departments, the more I wondered who the bad guys really were. In the ******* Township Democratic Party rallies were several known mob guys. They all supported the Cook County Sheriff. I had seriously thought about getting in Law Enforcement, but just couldn't "sell my soul to the devil". Things worked out best in the long run.
