I've actually known quite a few non-asshole cops. One of the nicest guys at my unit is a prior Air Force cop. As a Guardsman, I know several full-time cops, and others who are prior cops that moved onto different careers already. Of the ones I know, one of them is a bit stern and hard to impress, but that doesn't really count as an asshole. You guys would get a kick out of this one guy I know who just retired from the Guard and works for the Tulalip PD (there's an Indian casino there). Loud-mouthed, abnoxious, Filipino who can't be contained (He used to live in a rural, white farming town called Arlington, and his wife was the victim of racism there - he just laughs about how it played out and has no plans to shoot the town up).
