if you are really a fed you have no clue what is going on. common sense tells you to be polite.the problem is that there is not a great deal of common snese out there.NEVER,and i mean NEVER attempt to hand a gun to a officer.tell the officer where the gun is and let the officer get it.i seriously doubt you were a fed with those answers. if you are then fed standards have gone out the window.
Law enforcement careers entail many occupational hazzards. There are the obvious ones such as being shot, stabbed or maimed in a motor vehicle accident. Somewhat less well known to the general public are issues such as alcoholism, divorce, heart disease and other maladies that can be caused or aggravated by continued stress.

However, the most insidious and least recognized law enforcement occupational hazzard is the danger of retiring as a cynical, ill-tempered, paranoid, bitter individual who is hyper-quick to criticize and find fault, and has little good to say about anyone. Truly sad.
