Are the folks you run into now substantially 'better', or is it that you just don't have to deal with them as a cop anymore?
Many of my friends and acquaintances are indeed labeled as criminals and nut cases, but they are usually more honest, and more interesting, than my relatives in government and finance.

They are now a better class of people in general, and Im no longer forced into dealing with them...IE problem resolution. I can simply walk away, when they start beating their spouses, smashing windows, setting fires, or using deadly weapons on each other.
You do know that there are various types of criminals. You commonly call meth addicts in the throus of paranoia, or a pcp wracked individual, or serial rapists, friends?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire. Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us) off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give them self determination under "play nice" rules.
Think of it as having your older brother knock the s*it out of you for torturing the cat." Gunner
Ya right - like my formerly alive dog knew that the 4 yr old boy was a terrorist when she bit him.
I watched it from a distance. She was just doing it to be the big shot in charge - ie "top dog". It was the last straw.
