There was
an article I read earlier (linked below). Police are the 7th ranked occupation for sociopaths. #1 is CEOs. It kinda makes sense. Sociopaths don't get emotional and that can be an advantage in their job, but at the same time, they probably don't really care about hurting or even killing people.
Psychopaths Often Become Cops
What happens when a person like that, someone who has zero concern for our feelings, is handed a gun and put in a position of power?
An encounter with a psychopath in a police uniform can be a life hazard. That's why it is so important to be able to detect them. When you are in front of a psychopath, behaviors need to be altered, because normal social behaviors can trigger unexpected responses.
Research has shown that Police Officer is one of the top 10 professions chosen by psychopaths, ranking at number 7.
As I wrote in my book - California: State of Collusion, “Power, such as we give to law enforcement, prosecutors and judges, actually attracts psychopathic personalities who want to exert violent dominance under the color of authority. Innocent people can be subjected to a power trip police encounter, can be arrested by a megalomaniacal cop, jailed by a sadist, prosecuted by a manipulative Machiavellian and judged by a sociopath on an ego trip.”
Here is the article about professions and psychopaths:
