[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does he work? What does he do?[/quote]

Yes. He's an extremely hard worker. He's a police officer.[/quote]

What type? How many years? So is my H?

Have you read “ I love a cop”?[/quote]

No, I have not read that book. I'll look it up. 
He has 14 years. Right now he's in the community policing unit.[/quote]

Truthfully, when you deal with very important things all day it’s really hard to have banal discussions. Everything seems superficial.[/quote]

I would posit that unintelligent folks are disproportionately drawn to police work, not that police work leaves them too drained to think logically. [/quote]

Well an assumption is not fact and I posit your assumption is a common one. But when you come home from work after seeing the inside on somebody’s brain, it’s really hard to feign interest in “intellectual” discussions.[/quote]

I agree.  As a civilian (attorney) who works with police, I haven't run into many dumb cops.   Locally, in particular, there are cops who are also lawyers, CPAs, even teachers. There are ones who are very skilled in IT work too, especially the ones who do IT forensics to extract info from cell phones, etc.  If they have worked their way up the ranks a bit, they also often have masters degrees.   I know quite a few who are taking language lessons at night, too.  From Spanish to Mandarin to Farsi.

However, the stress is outrageous and critical mental health support is often lacking.   There may be a lot going on there, with a culture that historically doesn't want to admit to issues like depression and anxiety, as well as a severe lack of qualified therapists who actually understand what police work does to people.  A cop could go talk to any run of the mill therapist and just roll their eyes over the person's complete cluelessness of what they face each day.     [/quote]
