The personality types attracted to each role, mind you. Cops become cops because they like the feeling of having power over people, and tend to behave that way on the job. Social workers enter the field because they want to help others, which is why when somebody is in crisis, you should want to send a social worker rather than an emotionally-stunted high school bully who's armed to the teeth and trained to see deadly threats in every shadow.
Arguably you need somebody else to fill the role of police as well, but if you tried to do that the current demographic of officers would probably become something like an outlaw biker gang overnight, so it's hard to see how we get there from here.
I would say the types who stay in each role.
Lots of people want to be cops because they still have the ideal of the Andy Taylor community police officer. But they don't last because of the bad cops.
Social workers also enter the field because they want to help people. But giving of yourself mentally and emotionally takes a toll, and the people that do it for a long time become hardened.
I understood. And I am that jerk. Andy Griffith. And generally, the saying is "Mayberry" usually which is the town he policed. But you had me on Google making sure the guitarist from Duran Duran wasn't up to no good :D
Andy Griffith is the actor. Andy Taylor is the character.
Well shit. How confusing when the show is called the Andy Griffith show. Who is the asshole...this guy! :D
