I worry more about his mentality and how that mentality is going to work against him in today's modern and modernizing police world.
He's a product of small town policing. Where "the police can do no wrong" and the police are out to punish people for their mis-deeds. Gun-as-a-hammer even to work on nuts and bolts. He's still in his academy, as I said, so not "in the real world yet" - but when that comes, I'll worry about him.
Kid really needs to probably enlist in the .mil and serve a hitch, honestly.
Other nephew, the air marshal's kid, is separating the USAF security services in a few months. He may very well head to a LEO academy, too. Similar upbringings to a point, but then he moved to a much larger and much more diverse community when he moved to the Cleveland 'burbs to be with his dad. Plus 4 years of USAF culture. I'll worry about him, too, if he decides on becoming a LEO. He's a small kid (though stronk). It can be studied and shown that smaller statured men and women LEO tend to go for "gun" way more quickly than averaged-sized or larger male LEOs.
