    Interestingly, the rate of domestic abuse among LEO is significantly higher than in the normal population. “Good cops” clean their own house so rarely that when they do, they can become a celebrity and have a book and movie written about them (Serpico).

        Not necessarily pertaining to your point, which I get, and have also heard directly from people I know IRL who are now or used to be police. I just get surprised every time how indignant they will get over other people committing crimes repeatedly, while they overlook the same things in their own in-group, or even help shelter.
