    I have 2 theories. A.) They were picked on as kids and now are pissed off and are on a powertrip, or the more likely, B.) They got into the field for all the right reasons, and after being seasoned and seeing all the flaws in the system, and how much people take for granted the risks they take to keep everyone else safe, and how the population generally(breaking the law, speeding, etc.) thinks and treats them for doing their job. To Protect and Serve, which also would include the speeding driver, who could be endangering the rest of the public.

    • My husband is a Police Sergeant and I know he is sleep deprived. Most police officers rotate shifts and work weekends and holidays when so many of us can catch up a little on sleep. Adding all the other stress factors they face daily I think this may be one of the many reasons they seem unhappy. Although most officers I know love their jobs and wouldn't trade careers if given the chance.

    • sleep deprivation is a small price to pay for power and control. of course they love their jobs
