Would you support testing officers for Axis II Personality disorders, and immediately barring from employment any found with severe spectrum cases?

Also, why don't police, who claim to be all about law and order, and protecting the good people of the world, why don't they get behind measures to enforce maximum penalties, automatically, if a police is found to be committing a crime? (And, by committing a crime, I mean police brutality, and shooting suspects when options exist, as well as extortion, bribery, etc.)

So do you have a "get-out-of-jail-free" card? Did you smoke while on the force? And do cops really like doughnuts all so much ? The questions that really count :confused::rolleyes:

Love me some Johnny Cash. That man was amazing, rest his soul.
Grey Stone Chapel, by Glen Sherley (inmate) song by Johnny Cash.............................................................................................................Inside the walls of prison my body may be
But my Lord has set my soul free
There's a Greystone chapel here at Folsom
A house of worship in this den of sin
You wouldn't think that God had a place here at Folsom
But he saved the souls of many lost men
Now there's Greystone chapel here at Folsom
Stands a hundred years, all made of granite rock
It takes a ring of keys to move here at Folsom
But the door to the House of God is never locked
Inside the walls of prison my body may be
But my Lord has set my soul free
There are men here that don't ever worship
There are men here who scoff at the ones who pray
But I've got down on my knees in that Greystone chapel
And I thank the Lord for helpin' me each day
Now there's Greystone chapel here at Folsom
It has a touch of God's hand on every stone
It's a flower of light in a field of darkness
And it's givin' me the strength to carry on
Inside the walls of prison my body may be
But my Lord has set my soul free
........................................................................................this is the grey stone chapel in the song (on the left). That's the main yard at Folsom. The large building up on the hill is the license plate factory, my home for 25 years......"I hear that whistle blowing".......btw they still blow the old train steam whistle every day at noon..........:mrgreen:...........

Would an Axis 2 disorder be the same as what I like to call "control issues"?.

These are the ones who experienced bullying etc as children, then take up people orientated careers as a means of therapy.

I can tell you that working inside a prison is not for the faint-of-heart, if you didn't have issues when you started, you're sure to have some before you retire......

They are personality disorders, and include sociopath/psychopath (ASPD) borderline personality disorders, histrionics, and narcissists, to name done of the worst...

While I do Deedee a psychopath's place in the E.R./O.R., I don't think it'd appropriate to have them in positioned of authority, where empathy is (or should be) a primary driving emotion...

My son in law is a cop.
He literally drives 100 mph almost everywhere he goes - when he gets pulled over he flips his badge and always walks away unscathed due to "Professional Courtesy".

In other words cops literally allowing other cops to break the law.

Some Bullshit there !

You're not crazy for believing that the same thing that happened to your friend could happen to you. It sounds like you made him real nervous and I can KINDA understand it based on asking to get out of the vehicle. He had red flags going off in his head because NOBODY asks to get out of the vehicle unless they are hiding something in the vehicle or are planning to fight or flee. As a pulled over driver, the LAST thing you want to hear is "Sir, please step out of the vehicle". In the end, cops aren't always "regular" people. Training kicks in and they don't respond like you or I would. His giving you a lecture was LIKELY due to the fact that he realized how close he came to a "bad shooting" imo. :/
mmkay right on just wanted to make sure i wasnt totally out of pocket for my reaction. i dont wanna ever reach in my pocket in front of a cop some are like horses, they spook easily. and i think duda was butthurt i thought hed shoot me.i dunno i just dont trust people with guns

There are many individuals working for many government agencies in the U.S. who would probably not even pass your screening process.

And those individuals are a detriment to those employed around them.
