“Law enforcement, because of the direct power the position has over the general population, attracts the highest number of psychopaths. We think somewhere around five percent, but it could be as high as ten percent. And those are just the ones that get in. A massive number of psychopaths apply for police jobs and are denied. Occasionally, they’ll go into peripheral law enforcement jobs. Like security guard or dog catcher. The BTK killer was a code enforcement officer for the city and routinely wrote people five or six tickets out of the thrill he received from the power. Statistically, out of the class of fifty, at least two of you will be psychopaths.”
“As God loves me, when I consider this, then every modern society seems to me to be nothing but a conspiracy of the rick, who while protesting their interest in the common good pursue their own interests and stop at no trick and deception to secure their ill-gotten possessions, to pay as little as possible for the labor that produces their wealth and so force its makers to accept the nearest thing to nothing. They contrive rules for securing and assuring these tidy profits for the rich in the name of the common good, including of course the poor, and call them laws!”
