common thread for any type of police officer anywhere tbh. I’ll say you can sign up for that kind of job out of idealism but give it like 5+ years or so on the force at some point you have to square the circle. Either you adopt the ideals you enforce or alternatively you’re so much of a nihilist you figure your job is to be a mercenary to inflict violence on behalf of orders above for pay. What else are you gonna do to be able to sleep at night?
I do not get your point at all because it turns out you can do more than one thing. You can go hiking in a day and then also play videogames, with or without friends, at night. Or read a book, or watch a movie or whatever - these thing’s arent exclusive by design.
