Blame your fellow officers mate if they didn't abuse people then the small percentage like yourself who might be honest wouldn't get tarred with that brush. Physically taxing? Yeah right someone i know joined the police at 27 i think after working in a heavy job all his life and within the year he was telling me how he "sampled" cocaine on the job with a few others. Of course we all thought that was cool as we knew him but in reality its a fucking disgrace.
That said police work must be one of the best to do in terms of job variety.
