Some very good points smoochie597. It will be harder for him to give up his job and the house than I made it seem. When I talked about the aggression, it's not physical aggression, it's more that he doesn't care anymore, and so tells people exactly how he feels (he is honest, and this is often perceived as aggression). As for him being taken off the street, that was as much his decision as his superiors, and there are far more reasons he can't go into a more suited job in the constabulary (all extremely controversial, mostly involving targets). I just wanted to offer a defence for officers that may be in a similar situation; I don't necessarily agree, but I do understand. I appreciate your view and I don't think you're being judgemental, I think I probably have too much sympathy. Of course I will be biased.
