You seem to underestimate the power of just “listening”. Look i not against you or your profession. WTF? I don’t envy you your job. I know some of the shit you see is enough to loose faith in humanity. Like Crack Babies with their heads down the toilet, dead. Like Dead on Arrivals etc etc etc… My comments are not directed at you or your profession. They are directed at the loosers in your profession. I’m sure you have guys there that you’d rather them not have your back with a loaded gun and that can give a bad name to the profession.
So again, it’s not about you or any good officer that brings pride and honor to this profession.

I understand whazt you are trying to say. The comparison to me is this, I was an MP in the army before I went into civilian law enforcement making me better at my job the day I started it than someone who got a CJ degree. You can listen and think you know, but until you have experienced it you don’t have a clue. As for the 75% figure, that is ludicrous. I would peg it at maybe 30%.
