This question has been on my mind for a while. My mother doesnt like the idea of me being a cop, and if i ever have to kill anyone and if she finds out she more or less said she wants nothing more to do with me. My family worries that once i become a cop that i will be killed. So i just have a few questions about this and what i should do. Ok first off. Would being a cop make for a stressful marriage? This has confused me because two theries have went through my mind, on the one hand there is the possiblity of it being a loving marraige and meaningful because witchever spouse isnt in law enforcment knows that their spouse may not come home that night and as a result they both make the most of the time the have together and they say "I love you" a lot. On the other hand i have heard of some marriages that failed because one partner was a cop and got a tough-guy attitude, and others because the person just got really hardend after several years of law enforcment. Now i asked this question to the corpral i know personally because he is married, and he said that if i am killed then my spouse will get a lot of money from life insurance, i know he was just jokeing but at the same time he didnt give me a serious answer. So if you are a married cop please tell me if it causes problems.
Also what do i do concerning all those that are worried about me dieing, i for one am not afriad to die. That doesnt mean i wanna die it just means i am not afraid to die. If i were to ever make swat i would voluntarly be the first to enter a room or take point. So what do i tell those that are afraid i am going to be killed?
My mother really protested my origional wanting to join the military she would say that people die in the military, and i remember my reply I said to her, "Yes people die in the military, but so do people here in the United States, they die from medical problems, accidents and many other reasons, but they died free men and women because there are those that value the lives of others more then their own, and they believe that protecting those back home is worth their life" The same principle would apply to police. I have enjoyed growing up where i live. I can bike routes up to 20-30 miles on the main roads and in towns, and come back home safe, i dont have to worry about being kidnapped or hit intentionally by vehicles, i can park my bike in a public place and come back and know that my bike is still there. I have seen many cars with windows open yet around here people dont even think about stealing cars. Also if i am correct there hasnt been a murder in my county in over 10 years. This is all because my local police do their job, and i want my kids to grow up in a safe enviroment, like i am growing up in, and not just my kids, all the children in the area where i would work, and their families. It would be so amazing if i was able to change the life of one person for the better. Well anywas, am i wierd for not being afriad to die, and thinking that saveing/helping/changing anothers life is worth my life? and again what do i tell those that TRY to deter me from becoming a police officier? I can just ignore them but i need to give a reason, It would be impossible to convince me not to become a cop. Anways thanks in advance for answering my questions about what to say to people and what it is like to be a married cop.
