Default A fable?

Once upon a time, there was a guy who dreamed of becoming a big-city Police Captain. He worked for three police departments, each one larger than the last, and then was laid off. Along the way, he developed a secret contempt for his fellow officers, whom he considered "immature", "irresponsible", "sociopaths", and gun-toting "automatons". Of course he kept quiet about this, but cops are very perceptive, and no further employment offers were forthcoming. He later "went public" with these opinions, and does not recommend a police career to anyone.
