I have some cop friends, or used to be friends before they became cops -- they tend to now stick with their own kind, being other police officers.
Anyway, these guys were super insecure people and obviously saw the "power" behind being a cop enticing. I find most of them are far worse people than they ever were before. Worse friends, worse boyfriends or husbands, more fuked in the head than ever. Bodybuilders make great cops, those 2 go hand in hand. Super insecure douche's hiding behind muscle and a badge -- perfect camouflage for their insecurities on the inside and out.
