Yes... the, uh, smell. That's it.

--- Quote from: Jakk Frost on 24 Sep 2018, 04:02 ---I think it's more of a problem of treating the "worst case" as if it were the norm, a trend far too rampant in today's society. (Like the "all cops are bad" narrative.)
--- End quote ---
Assuming cops are bad is safer than assuming they're going to treat you fairly. Only one of those two outcomes is likely to get you beaten, strangled, or shot, after all.

--- End quote ---
Have you been paying any attention to the kinds of people who made headlines on the job after making it through the Academy?
I think your idea of their standards is optimistic, at best.
Is it cold in here?:

--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 24 Sep 2018, 09:05 ---She could be ego-fragile. There are plenty of people who would be shaken by the realization that they were assumed to be vindictive jerks simply because of their job.
--- End quote ---
Is that "ego-fragile?" Being shaken by someone presuming you possess a stereotypical characteristic?
--- End quote ---
There's probably a better word for it. I worried about whether it was the right word as I wrote it.

I was talking about someone similar to Roko.
I'm all too aware of those who want to be SuperCop.
Cornelius:
Glad to see today's comic up as usual.
I know I said I can understand where she's coming from, but on the other hand, as my colleague keeps saying, quand les dégoûtés partent, il ne reste que les dégoûtants. When the disgusted leave, there's only the disgusting left.
Still, it's a personal choice. I do believe one person can make a difference, even if it's only to motivate others to stay and try, but ultimately, it's up to every individual to see whether they can still meaningfully try to continue, or whether it's starting to break them.
