Comparing police training to a lawyer or doctor: Twenty-two weeks in an academy with enough book work to cover a year of college, physical fitness workouts every day, rain or shine, firearms training, countless notes and papers written and test taken. All this after passing an entry exam and a psychological test. I'm sure you understand because after all, you would have "been a cop," but something else came up, right? Question the men and women who not only look over their shoulder for bad guys, but people like you too, who just pick them apart! No respect!
