Policemen, on television, are oafs, who couldn't find a bull fiddle inside a telephone booth. When he serves a summons, he is a monster. Policemen work around the clock, split shifts. Policemen have homes, some of them are covered with ivy, but most of them mortages. His credit is good, that is very helpful, because his salary isn't.
Policemen see more misery, bloodshed, trouble and sunrises that the aveage person.
Like the postman, a policeman must be out in all kinds of weather. His uniform changes with the climate, but his outlook on life remains the same, mostly a blank, but always hoping for a better world. Policemen like days off, vacations and coffee. They don't like auto horns, family fights and anonymous letter writers. They have an Association but they can not strike.
