Policing is a crapy, stressful job in which you must deal with the worst elements of society on a daily basis. You would have to be nuts to become a cop - as apparently this poor guy was, but thankfully, the psych evaluations weed most of the head cases before they get the badge.

Please don't take the fact that I posted this as an implied criticism of cops. A good friend of mine is an ex-cop, and you couldn't pay me enough to deal with the garbage he dealt with on the job. The post was meant to illustrate the fallacy of the "only cops and soldiers are emotionally capable of owning firearms" argument.
