Maybe having been a cop for so long (and apparently a political desk cop insulated from the public for a lot of that) has given him a particularly bad case of a 'them and us' mentality, thinking anyone who isn't a cop is a criminal - a bit like the way some schoolteachers who have never been outside the education system treat everybody who isn't a teacher like a child.
In fact, has he ever done anything else? Article about him stepping down from the union says he is in his 50s and has been a cop for over 37 years.
