Aferr your comment makes absolutely no sense. They are tired from sleeping during details? The state police are paid almost twice as much as their local counterparts, they sit in the cruisers on details almost never flapping their arms. They do traffic enforcement and little in the way of actual police work like Domestic disputes, robberies, bar fights, B&Es which I would assume results in more stress to city cops. And if the stress from lack of sleep can explain some police attitude towards the public, then why is it that the State Police seem to be the angriest of men who wear big hats and are rude to everyone all the time. I will never understand the free pass the state police get with the public her in Mass. I've been pulled over a few times by locals and they are usually decent. The few times I have interacted with State troopers, they have been rude and appear to think very highly of themselves. Also, I was in the military and forty pounds over my "ideal weight". I lifted weights and was in very good shape, yet I was considered obese by weight/height calculations and only when I would be pinch/ measured tested to ten percent body fat was the obese accusations removed from my military jacket. Relying on height/weight numbers from the turn of the last century is very outdated formula to determine anything.

Maybe if they didn't spend so much time sleeping in cruisers on paid details it wouldn't be as much of a problem
