Toxic
Any good officer - military or law enforcement - who has been on the force long enough, probably knows how a Derek Chauvin not only remains in the system, but is is given two trainees to shadow him. Being in the Coast Guard, I experienced a mix of both military and law enforcement cultures and, of course, the worst tends to stay with you. One time I was screamed at in front of the Command hallway by a low-mid ranking member for nearly no reason. No one came out of their office to see what was happening, let alone correct the behavior. (This member was upset he had to get up early for a boat trip across the Long Island Sound. The purpose of the trip was to take me to a CG related medical appointment, hence I was the reason he had to get up early and his adult tantrum ensued. These early trips and training exercises were not rare.) I was low ranking and a woman, so of course he felt his dominance over my rank and cultural inferiority, thus I took the brunt of his childish anger...
