I keep getting "self defense instructors" or whatever you want to call them recommended to me on youtube and it's such a bizarre way to live. Constantly on your toes, assessing everyone as a threat, being ready at any moment for someone to try to attack you. I had one guy talking about how he fills his car ready to start blasting. It's insane, I can't imagine how living like that wouldn't warp your brain. And I imagine it's much worse for cops who have this drilled into their brains at every opportunity
“I spend all day fantasizing about the time I’ll be able to get away with killing someone” isn’t exactly something they’re willing to openly admit
