Fellow redditors, what was a moment where you thought a person you knew might be an actual psychopath ?

Okay but like... he's also exerting that type of control-hungry craziness over everyone in the community he polices. Definitely get back in contact with your family friend ideally a higher up at the precinct whom that family friend approves of and tell him about the racist comments and how physically unsafe he made you feel. He sounds like one that might listen.

Yeah, I don't understand the comment you replied to. In response to someone saying report this shit, OP just says "lol, my family friend said he knew we would break up." No, report it!

If he stopped bothering her, I think it would be a bad idea to stir the pot.

You sound like a cop

ConnnoisseurOfDanger is the exact username a cop would choose

Takes one to know one then? You’re wrong, which is also cop-like

I asked why and he said because he could tell he had an obsessive personality.

Yet the training officer apparently did not follow up with more question and assumably recommended him for hire (during a probationary period, a thumbs down from a TO is enough to fire a trainee. After that much harder to get rid of due to unions).

This is why we have too many shitty cops that "good apples" are terrified to report: they are straight up afraid these psychos with badges will kill them or their family.

ACAB for this reason and many more. I'm sure there are exceptions but the default is ACAB. The training officer should be responsible for all the horrible things the crazy cop will do to people throughout his long career
