Originally that was my reason, lame and naive as it sounds, for wanting to be an LEO. Then I started working and the opportunities to pull babies from rivers and be a hero didn't materialize. So I had to ask myself why I still do it when the victims hate me for helping them and I don't see that I make a difference to anyone. And the reason is, like Rad Diver said, I want to put the scumbags in jail. It makes my day. They think they can treat other people like trash and get away with it. They think the rules don't apply to them. They think driving impaired isn't going to hurt anyone. They think they can grow dope in my park. :D And they can, but then I can take them to jail.
In life's small things be resolute and great
To keep thy muscle trained: know'st thou when Fate
Thy measure takes, or when she'll say to thee,
"I find thee worthy; do this deed for me?"
Nemo me impune lacessit.
