Suspicious, violent, racist, and confrontational; all the finest cop attributes.

the only thing more frightening is a guy who wants to be one so bad THEY don't even want them. they usually become security guards, and if (frighteningly) are too unqualified even for that, become neighborhood watch "captains."

btw - how does one become such a "captain"? is there some sort of swearing in ceremony? if so it is probably done alone and in front of the mirror like in taxi driver
