Cops are interesting because they all seem to speak/act/understand a certain language that most other people are, at the very least, unfamiliar with.
Do you think it's just the type of people that decide to become a cop? Or maybe the training and the environment is what shapes their behavior, or maybe a mix of the two or something else completely?
The reason I want to know is because of all the cops I know personally, hardly any of them are really known to be nice guys, and none of them are easy going. I mean, they're cool to joke around with and play sports with, but you always have to be careful about what you say and do or else they just cut you off, whereas almost anyone else would be fine with it.
Does anybody else out there understand what I'm getting at here? It's like talking to fundamentalist Christians, tip toeing through every topic and every word you say so not to offend them.

Yes as a former cop, I understand your problem. We tend to trust no one but other cops. It's a job paranoia. As to the language, like all professions we have a verbal shorthand, that we use. 10/4.
