That can help you write good reports and do good investigations, but on a day to day basis it all comes down to how well you can handle dealing with crazy bitches. He didn't mean just angry women, but people in general who have flipped out and are losing it. If you can keep your cool and deal with them well, you will be a good cop. If that causes you to freak out as well, you won't.
I think a lot of these cops that shoot people potentially prematurely don't handle crazy bitches well.

I hear you and agree that IQ isn't everything. Someone earlier in the thread mentioned the IQ level of Brown supporters, or words to that effect, so I thought I would throw in probably the only applicable fact we know about the IQ's of anyone involved, even though it was lame.
When I was a radioshack store manager I would often hang out and talk to the cops who walked the beat around one particular store. They had some of the best stories about crazy people and I usually had to be the one to tell them that I had to go and get busy with my work. I'm sure they could have gone on for hours and never run out.
