They have to develop the knack of laughing at the ugliness, of turning the hideousness into humor, or the suicide rate would be even higher than it is. And secondly, there is a bond between cops everywhere that is deep and something people outside law enforcement can never fully understand. It is a camaraderie forged under the pressure of an extremely demanding and dangerous job. As a group, cops struggle with grim statistics. They are hated by some of the very people they risk their lives for, not for the color of their skin, but simply for the color of the uniform.
Law enforcement is a job that inspires a lot of popular fiction.
For the sake of those who have risked their lives to protect others, please try and do it justice.
