re: #32 Aunty Entity Dragon

I think this is a problem sort of built into the job, because many police regularly come into contact with humanity’s worst scumbags. It’s very difficult not to become jaded, defensive and scornful, and a lot of cops don’t have the training or the temperament to overcome the pressure without hardening up.

And there’s also a certain percentage who are drawn to the job because they’re anti-social power freaks. I’ve encountered a few cops like that in my life, but I don’t think most of them are that sort of person.
