Most police/sheriff departments, and especially the smaller ones, are hiring people that want nothing more than to be a cop. They want to carry a gun and have power over people. Rarely do we see a state trooper doing the crazy shit the other cops do. Why? They do a much better job of screening applicants. Guys like those two in Iowa are kicked out before they are ever in.
