    Just wondering. Have there been serious studies about how likely a cop is to be a former Schoolyard Bully?

      That would be interesting. I don't believe the data exists. Just need a definition of bully, a list of kids who are bullies (which would be difficult given they are children and that has ethical issues), and a follow up to see if they went to cop school, became cops, career length, etc.

      The stats would be easy to do.

      I imagine asking a cop would be a bad idea (might go to jail for example), but maybe their former teachers or classmates could work? I'm just yapping at this point lol
