Memoirs of a cop... from someone who sees all the awful shit in the world, knowing they can't solve it.

Is it the job of the police to just protect the "idea" of a safe world? A bubble for the fortunate to isolate them from what's out there? Are we just protecting our consciences from the tremendous guilt of not being able to help everyone?

School only teaches you how to imitate success.

To live a life of pride is shameful. To not desire a life worth being proud of is worse.

It's a good thing no one else I know is happy either, otherwise I'd feel pretty bad.

Probably can't fix it... can't bear to get rid of it... guess it will remain here with me, broken.

Hey mister father-of-twelve-kids, quit complaining about the traffic!

Kindness is what you do for others because you want them to be happy. Politeness is what you do for others because you want to avoid conflict.
