the questions i ask myself are
does working in the police service make people more likely to abuse their power? does police work attract those who are likely to abuse their power? cos as far as i can tell they are more dickish than the general population.

A very good point and well made
I think I'm lucky in that in the few encounters I've had with Her Majesty's Constabulary they've tended to be pretty regular guys. I have no doubt, however, that from what I've seen on Youtube and the like that - maybe like those couple of scenes from Full Metal Jacket with that grunt dude - people can and do sign up to 'authorise' their sociopathic tendencies, without a doubt!

Try working in a job where people treat you with suspicion or hate and see how dickish you become. It's a tough and unpopular job and there are fewer of them around now because of it (well, that and the budget cuts). So much for the "Police State".

no one remembers a nice cop or videos them and puts them on youtube.
Everyone remembers a cunt.
