A young Texan grew up wanting to be a law man. He grew up big, 6' 2'', and strong as a longhorn and fast as a mustang. He could shoot a bottle cap tossed in the air at 40 paces. When he finally became of age he applied to where he had only dreamed of working: the West Texas Sheriff's Department.
After a big mess of tests and interviews the Chief Deputy finally called him into his office for the young man's last interview. The Chief Deputy says: "You're a big strong kid and you can really shoot. So far your qualifications all look good. But we have what you call an 'attitude suitability test' that you must take before you can be accepted. We just don't let anyone carry our badge, son." Then, sliding a service pistol and a box of ammo across the desk, the Chief says: "Take this pistol and go out and shoot: Six politicians, Six illegal aliens, Six lawyers, Six meth dealers, Six Muslim extremists, And a rabbit." "Why the rabbit?" "Great attitude," says the Chief Deputy. "When can you start?"

That tale kind of grows on you.
We need more Sheriffs offices like this. Starting with D.C., in the belly of the beast. Could probably make his quota from the front door step and not have to burn any gas.
