You'll hang out with cops. You'll go to cop bars. You'll live in cop neighborhoods. Save what you can for your brief retirement. You'll probably die of a heart attack within five years of leaving the department.
Most cops do.
You'll put your life on the line everyday. If you don't believe it, watch this surveillance video. That could be you someday. Your duty as law enforcement officers is to expose the underbelly of humanity. You will encounter the slime of society.
